2012-10-13 10:11 Vincent Dorie * blme now ignores the common scale when penalizing the random effect covariance. In previous versions it multiplied it in but didn't take the prior into account when profiling it out - in essence failing to correspond to a probabilistic model. The next version will allow the prior to be on the scale-free covariance, or on the real-world covariance matrix. For now, just the scale-free version. ** This means the fitted models will be different than previous versions. ** * Reduced the default shape for random-effect covariance posteriors on the variance scale so that the polynomial term has an exponent of 1 in the univariate case. The multivariate now has df of dim + 1 to correspond. * Fixed a few typos in the documentation. * Cleaned up imports from NAMESPACE file. * Replaced a .Internal call. 2012-03-09 13:01 Vincent Dorie * Fixed off-by one bug on termination of the optimization loop which caused gradient evaluation steps to be reported a the maximum. * REML optimization for sigma with a fixef prior was slightly off. * sigma now accepts inverse gamma priors (improper, as well). * Internal version of sim(). 2011-12-15 17:40 Vincent Dorie * Prevented summary from printing misc. lines when only one covariance prior is implemented. Gaussian fixed effects priors summarize in terms of their covariance correctly when the covariance is diagonal or a scalar times the identity. 2011-11-15 17:03 Vincent Dorie * Fixed a bug related to the scaling of priors to the data in the presence of interactions. * Added point priors on the common scale, enabling meta-analyses. 2010-12-19 19:27 Vincent Dorie * Initial version.
