############################################################### Version 0.3.4 (build 2015-11-13)

Maintenance release to fix standard changes regarding S3 and S4 methods in R version 3 Two arguments added to function bms:

• data: function bms is now fully compatible with the formula and data arguments familar from function ' lm'. see #' attitude' example in help(bms)
• randomizeTimer: for geeks, the call to set.seed can be turned off in order to replicate MCMC runs

############################################################### Version 0.3.2 (build 2013-11-17)

Maintenance release to cope with changes in R version 3 compared to version 2

############################################################### Version 0.3.1 (build 2012-08-28)

Maintenance release to fix inconsistencies in package version 0.3.0 (Warnings in package checks) under new R versions >=2.14

############################################################### Version 0.3.0 (build 2011-05-04) (changes compared to version 0.2.5)

• USER-VISIBLE CHANGES TO EXISTING FUNCTIONS: ------------------------

  • Changed behavior of pmp.bma (see help(pmp.bma))

• NEW FEATURES: ------------------------

  • bms now can hold a set of fixed regressors (argument fixed.reg)
  • New functions pred.density, plot.pred.density, print.pred.density, predict.bma, predict.zlm
  • New functions quantile.density, quantile.pred.density, quantile.coef.density
  • New function pmpmodel
  • New functions post.var and post.pr2
  • New functions model.frame.bma, model.frame.zlm, deviance.bma, deviance.zlm, variable.names.bma, variable.names.zlm, logLik.zlm, vcov.zlm
  • bms can now accommodate user-defined coefficient (g) and model-priors, as well as samplers

• BUG FIXES: ------------------------

  • bms: + bug with accept.candi = NA fixed + problems with environment in non-standard settings fixed (in internal function .construct.arglist) + mprior =="custompip" is now working properly (fixed in internal function .mprior.pip.init) + fixed problem with sys.call in non-standard calling environments +
  • plotComp: +also works for single bma object now + fixed display when variable names are too long + fixed many problems with graphical parameters - completely redone
  • topmod: + bug when likelihood==-Inf, fixed (in internal function .top10) + initializing with bbeta==FALSE now works properly (fixed in .top10)
  • density.bma: bug with par and plot.new fixed when argument addons contains "p"
  • image.bma: fixed display problems when variable names too long
  • plotConv (resp. plot.bma): fixed warning 'In min(x) : no non-missing arguments to min; returning Inf'
  • plotModelsize: + bugfixes for parameter ksubset + bugfixes for graphical parameters + can now cope with case when model prior is not available

• CHANGES TO INTERNAL OBJECTS: ------------------------------

  • New classes: gprior, mprior, pred.density, implicit class coef.density
  • Streamlining and customizability of gprior required changes to following functions: bms, zlm, .choose.gprior, gdensity, .topmod.as.bbetaT New functions gprior.constantg.init, gprior.eblocal.init and .gprior.hyperg.init now provide for generic handling of g-priors Old functions lprob.*.init are still available for compatibility
  • Streamlining and customizability of mprior required changes to following functions: .choose.mprior, and all .mprior.*.init functions
  • Streamlining and customizability of sampling functions led to streamlining of: .iterenum, .fls.samp, .rev.jump, .enum_startend
  • Introduction of bms argument fixed.reg is handled generically by functions
    .fixedset.mprior, .fixedset.sampler, .starter, .choose.mprior, bms
  • Speeding-up of syntax (replacing $ with [[, directly calling internal functions) yields 5% speed gain in bms vs version 0.2.5
  • .construct.arglist has been vastly changed

############################################################### Version 0.2.5 (build 2010-07-30)

None

• BUG FIXES
