A flexible framework for fitting multivariate
ordinal regression models with composite likelihood methods.
News
This file documents updates and changes in the package mvord
changes in version 0.3.3 (2018-10-30)
- fixed bug standard errors with threshold.constraints
changes in version 0.3.2 (2018-10-03)
- function polycor() for polychoric correlations is now available
- added packages minqa, BB, ucminf and dfoptim as dependencies
changes in version 0.3.1 (2018-06-12)
- out-of-sample predictions are now available
- additional examples are now available in an additional vignette
changes in version 0.3.0 (2018-05-03)
- new model design with multiple measurement objects MMO and MMO2 (former mvord2())
- removed function mvord2()
- removed argument scale (covariates are scaled internally for optimizer)
- fixed bug in standard errors with binary outcomes
- removed argument response.names (if specific ordering is desired this can be performed by an ordered factor for the multiple measurement index)
- additional input types are now applicable for ordinal response variables
- fixed bug trace
- control = mvord.control()
- additional checks
- new function name marginal_predict() (instead of marginal.predict())
- new function name joint_probabilities() (instead of get.prob()); type "class" instead of "class.max"
- new function name error_structure() (instead of get_error_struct())
changes in version 0.2.1 (2017-11-29)
- adapted predict(), get.prob(), marginal.predict()
- added contrasts as argument to mvord() and mvord2()
- fixed bug in VGAM design of coef.constraints
- changed internal design matrices
changes in version 0.2.0 (2017-11-10)
- implemented nobs.mvord()
- implemented vcov.mvord()
- implemented terms.mvord()

- implemented logLik.mvord()
- AIC() and BIC() are now available
- additional argument scale
- new (additional) design for coef.constraints in analogy to constraints in VGAM
- category-specific regression parameters
- additional argument offset
- new class "mvlink"
- implemented coef.constraints()
- logPL(), claic() and clbic() are not exported anymore. use logLik(), AIC() and BIC() instead.
- renamed cor_general, cor_ar1, cor_equi, cov_general
- implemented names_constraints()
changes in version 0.1.0 (2017-10-17)
