1.1-0 (uploaded on CRAN 14/10/2009) ================================ * Added the functions categoricalCUSUM and LRCUSUM.runlength for the CUSUM monitoring of general categorical time series (binomial, beta-binomial, multinomial, ordered response, Bradley-Terry models). * Added the functions pairedbinCUSUM and pairedbinCUSUM.runlength implementing the CUSUM monitoring and run-length computations for a paired binary outcome as described in Steiner et al. (1999). * Experimental implementation of the prospective space-time cluster detection described in Assuncao and Correa (2009). * Added a demo("biosurvbook") containing the code of an upcoming book chapter on how to use the surveillance package. This contains the description of ISO date use, negative binomial CUSUM, run-length computation, etc. From an applicational point of view the methods are illustrated by Danish mortality monitoring. * Fixed a small bug in algo.cdc found by Marian Talbert Allen which resulted in the control$m argument being ignored. * The constructor of the sts class now uses the argument "epoch" instead of weeks to make clearer that also daily, monthly or other data can be handled. * Added additional epochAsDate slot to sts class. Modified plot functions so they can handle ISO weeks. * algo.farrington now also computes quantile and median of the predictive distribution. Furthermore has the computation of reference values been modified so its a) a little bit faster and b) it is also able to handle ISO weeks now. The reference values for date t0 are calculated as follows: For i, i=1,..., b look at date t0 - i*year. From this date on move w months/weeks/days to the left and right. In case of weeks: For each of these determined time points go back in time to the closest Monday * Renamed the functions obsinyear to epochInYear, which now also handles objects of class Date. 1.0-2 (released on CRAN 6 Mar 2009) =========================== * Negative Binomial CUSUM or the more general NegBin likelihood ratio detector is now implemented as part of algo.glrnb. This includes the back calculation of the required number of cases before an alarm. * Time varying proportion binomial CUSUM. 0.9-10 ====== * Current status: Development version available from http://surveillance.r-forge.r-project.org/ * Rewriting of the plot.sts.time.one function to use polygons instead of lines for the number of observed cases. Due cause a number of problems were fixed in the plotting of the legend. Plotting routine now also handles binomial data, where the number of observed cases y are stored in "observed" and the denominator data n are stored in "populationFrac". * Problems with the aggregate function not operating correctly for the populationFrac were fixed. * The "rogerson" wrapper function for algo.rogerson was modified so it now works better for distribution "binomial". Thus a time varying binomial cusum can be run by calling rogerson( x, control(..., distribution="binomial")) * An experimental implementation of the twins model documented in Held, L., Hofmann, M., Höhle, M. and Schmid V. (2006) A two-component model for counts of infectious diseases, Biostatistics, 7, pp. 422--437 is now available as algo.twins. 0.9-9 ===== * CRAN release 21 Jan 2008. Fixed a few small problems which gave warnings in the CRAN distribution 0.9-8 ===== * Released on CRAN: 21 Jan 2008 * The algo_glrpois function now has an additional "ret" arguments, where one specifies the return type. The arguments of the underlying c functions have been changed to include an additional direction and return type value arguments. * added restart argument to the algo.glrpois control object, which allows the user to control what happens after the first alarm has been generated * experimental algo.glrnb function is added to the package. All calls to algo.glrpois are now just alpha=0 calls to this function. However, the underlying C functions differentiate between poisson and negative case
