Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the
package.
Now the fit_dsmm() function has a default value for
the states attribute, being the sorted unique values of the
sequence character vector attribute.
simulate.dsmm() sometimes did not
function as expected when nsim = 1.
Now it is possible to specify nsim = 0, so that the
simulated sequence will only include the initial state and its
corresponding sojourn time, e.g. “a”, “a”, “a”.
By giving nsim = 1 , a single simulation will be made
from the drifting semi-Markov kernel, returning for example “a”, “a”,
“a”, “c”.
Updated the documentation for simulate.dsmm(), with
accordance to the changes made.
Updated the README file.
Added high-level documentation of the package
Added installation instructions with access to the development version of the package through github.
Updated the documentation for dsmmR-package.
Added a “Community Guidelines” section, so that users can report errors or mistakes and contribute directly to the software through the newly-established open-source github page at https://github.com/Mavrogiannis-Ioannis/dsmmR.
Added a “Notes” section, specifying that automated tests are in place in order to aid the user with any false input made and, furthermore, to ensure that the functions used return the expected output.
