poppr 2.8.2

MISC

• Tests relying on randomization were updated before R 3.6.0, which fixes a biased randomization. This has no visible impact on users. See https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/pull/198 for details.

poppr 2.8.1

BUG FIX

• An error that appeared in some AMOVA calls with genind objects with character- based alleles was fixed (see https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/issues/190 for details)

DOCUMENTATION

• aboot() documentation was updated to add the citation and make clear its purpose and limitations.

MISC

• DOIs have been hyperlinked to doi.org instead of dx.doi.org (#188, @katrinleinweber)

poppr 2.8.0

BUG FIX

• win.ia() now has more consistent behavior with chromosome structure and will no longer result in an integer overflow. (see https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/issues/179). Thanks to @MarisaMiller for the detailed bug report.
• plot_filter_stats() will plot stats if supplied a list of thresholds.

ALGORITHMIC CHANGE

• win.ia() may result in slightly different results because of two changes:
  1. The windows will now always start at position one on any given chromosome. This will result in some windows at the beginning of chromosomes having a value of NA if the first variant starts beyond the first window.
  2. Windows are now calculated for each chromosome independently. The previous version first concatenated chromosomes with at least a window-sized gap between the chromosomes, but failed to ensure that the window always started at the beginning of the chromosome. This version fixes that issue. (see https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/issues/179).

DEPRECATION

• The chromosome_buffer argument for win.ia() has been permanently set to TRUE and deprecated as it is no longer used.

NEW FEATURES

• poppr.amova() will now handle genlight/snpclone objects. See https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/pull/185 for details.

• bitwise.dist() now has two new options: euclidean and scale_missing. When both of these are set to TRUE, the distance measured will be Euclidean scaled for the amount of missing data in each comparison. This matches the output of base R's dist() function at a fraction of time and memory. See https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/pull/176 for details.

• make_haplotypes() is now a generic defined for both genind and genlight.

• genind2genalex() will no longer write to "genalex.csv" by default. Instead, it will warn the user and write to a temporary file. See https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/issues/175 for details.

• genind2genalex() now has an overwrite parameter set to FALSE to prevent accidental overwriting of files.

• win.ia() has a new argument name_window, which will give each element in the result the designation of the terminal position of that window. Thanks to @MarisaMiller for the suggestion!

• pair.ia() can now calculate p-values via permutations. (See https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/issues/180 for details)

DOCUMENTATION

• cutoff_predictor() was added to the MLG vignette

MISC

• The RClone package has been added to suggests (see https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/issues/187)

poppr 2.7.1

MISC

• Missing documentation for poppr.amova() has been added.
• Polysat is now listed in imports.

poppr 2.7.0

NEW FUNCTIONS

• make_haplotypes() will split your data into pseudo-haplotypes for use in AMOVA-like analyses. This was a previously internal function, but has been promoted to a user-facing function in this version.

• as.genambig() will convert genind/genclone objects to Polysat's "genambig" class. Note that polysat must be installed for this to work.

ALGORITHMIC CHANGE

• AMOVA will now default to using euclidean distance. This affects all calculations made with within = FALSE or filter = TRUE without a user-supplied distance. This will not have affect those with haploid or diploid data using within = TRUE. The dissimilarity distance is equivalent to a squared euclidean distance for haploid genotypes, but not for any higher ploidy. Those using filter = TRUE without specifying a distance should use a euclidean threshold. This should not be an issue for those who simply want to group isolates with missing data, however as a zero distance is the same for euclidean and dissimilarity. Thanks goes to Patrick Meirmans for alerting me to this error.

NEW FEATURES

• AMOVA will now calculate within-individual variance for polyploid data.

MISC

• printing of AMOVA will now better handle any changes in methods from pegas or ade4.

poppr 2.6.1

BUG FIX

• An out-of-bounds memory access error in bitwise.dist() was fixed. See https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/issues/169 for details.

poppr 2.6.0

NEW FUNCTIONS

• The new function boot.ia() is conceptually similar to resample.ia(), except it resamples with replacement.

NEW FEATURES

• The function resample.ia() now can resample individuals weighted by their Psex value.
• The minimum spanning networks will now scale nodes by area instead of radius. This gives a more accurate picture of the differences between MLGs. See https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/issues/154 for details.
• A legend for samples/node is now added to all minimum spanning networks. See https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/issues/158 for details.
• The imsn() option for node size scale has been changed to a slider.

BUG FIX

• An issue where data with sample names containing apostrophes could not be imported was fixed (Identified in https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/issues/156).
• a bug in imsn() where custom MLGs would result in an error was fixed. See https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/issues/155 for details.
• a bug in plot_poppr_msn() where setting scale.leg = FALSE would result in a very small MSN plot was fixed.
• mlg() now works properly for snpclone and genlight objects. See https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/issues/155 for details.

DEPENDENCIES

• The minimum version of igraph has been set to 1.0.0.

MISC

• The MSN is now plotted last in plot_poppr_msn() so additional legends can be added if necessary.

poppr 2.5.0

ALGORITHMIC CHANGE

• Identified in https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/issues/139, Bruvo's distance will now consider all possible combinations of ordered alleles in the calculation under the genome addition and loss models for missing data. This will affect those who have polyploid data that contain more than one missing allele at any genotype

  To facilitate comparison, the global option old.bruvo.model, has been created. By default it is set to FALSE, indicating that poppr should use the ordered allele combinations. If the user wants to use the method considering unorderd allele combinations, they can set options(old.bruvo.model = TRUE)

  It must be repeated that this does not affect haploid or diploid comparisons, those that use the infinite alleles model, or those who do not have more than one missing allele at any genotype.

DEPRECATION

• The warning for a short repeat length vector for Bruvo's distance is deprecated and will become an error in the future
• jack.ia is deprecated in favor of resample.ia for clarity.

BUG FIX

• A bug in read.genalex() where removed samples would have incorrect strata labels was fixed. Thanks to Hernán Dario Capador-Barreto for identifying it. See https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/issues/147.

MISC

• The internal plotting function for mlg.table now uses tidy evaluation for dplyr versions > 0.5.0
• The package reshape2 was removed from imports and replaced with base functions (see https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/issues/144 for details)

NEW IMPORTS

• Due to the migration to dplyr version 0.7.0, poppr now imports the "!!" operator from the rlang package

poppr 2.4.1

BUG FIX

• A corner case where repeat length vectors out of order would be erroneously subset with test_replen() and fix_replen() has been fixed. See https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/issues/136 for details.
• All functions that perform filtering will now run serially due to a bug on Fedora machines with at least two threads. Details can be found at https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/issues/138.

poppr 2.4.0

NEW FUNCTIONS

• jack.ia() will randomly jackknife your sample to a specified n (default is the number of MLG), and calculate the index of association over multiple iterations, giving a distribution of possible values at a given sample size.

NEW FEATURES

• The function mlg.table() gains new parameters, "color" and "background". The "color" parameter will create a single barplot with colors representing populations while the "background" parameter will create a background plot showing the abundance of MLGs across populations within the facets.
• The function win.ia() will now take into consideration chromosomal coordinates when constructing windows. It has additionally acquired a new parameter chromosome_buffer, which allows the user to specify whether or not the window should be limited to within chromosomes.

NOTABLE CHANGES

• calculation of MLGs for snpclone and genlight objects will be performed via distance-based methods by default. This is in contrast to the previous behavior where individuals were assumed to have unique genotypes. see https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/issues/125 for details.
• An error will be thrown when attempting to use mlg.crosspop() with an object that has < 2 populations.
• genotype_curve() will now remove monomorphic loci before calculation by default as these loci misleadingly influence the shape of the curve. This will change the shape of the curve if you have monomorphic loci. This change IS optional via the drop and dropna parameters, but it is not recommended to change these parameters.
• The calculation for psex() has changed to be more accurate when using method = "multiple". It also gains the ability to use several values of G, one for each population. Documentation for psex() has also been improved. For details of the change, see https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/issues/101

BUG FIX

• The error given when a genlight object is passed to poppr() now correctly identifies the substitute function as diversity_stats() and not diversity table (see https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/issues/123).
• GenAlEx files imported with duplicate loci will generate a warning telling the user that the duplicated loci have been renamed (usually to _1) (see https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/issues/122).
• Haplodiploids imported in genalex files will be properly treated (see https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/issues/124).
• read.genalex() will now implicitly check for the correct number of individuals in the data (see https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/issues/128).
• The function poppr() no longer throws an error if the sample > 0 and the data has no population (see https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/issues/130).
• A bug where round-robin allele frequencies calculated with by_pop = TRUE were inaccurate for all but the first population was fixed. For details, see https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/issues/132.
• A potential integer overflow was fixed in SEXP association_index_haploid. This was a ghost from https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/issues/100.
• PROTECT statements were placed around allocation statements. For details, see https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/issues/133.

MISC

• The documentation for bitwise.dist() clarifies the role of the differences_only flag (see https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/issues/119).
• Interruptions in C code is now handled gracefully via R_CheckUserInterrupt(). The benefit is that long-running calculations are interrupted near instantly, but at the cost of a few more milliseconds of computation time. (see https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/issues/86)
• Bruvo's distance now has complete tests for recursion as of commit 4e4fa40d16

poppr 2.3.0

NEW FUNCTIONS

• The function bootgen2genind() will help users take advantage of bootstrapping distance functions from other packages that require genind objects. For details, see https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/issues/112 and https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/issues/111

NEW FEATURES

• There is now a plot parameter for the genotype curve to enable or suppress plotting.
• Progress bars are now automatically suppressed when running non-interactively. to turn them on when running non-interactively, use options(poppr.debug = TRUE).
• The progress bar for ia() and poppr() will now show estimated time. This is from dplyr's progress_estimated().

MISC

• The hist argument in the ia() is deprecated in favor of plot.
• The x axis for the genotype_curve() plot is now numeric, allowing you to fit a smoothing function over the points without having to use the hack geom_smooth(aes(group = 1)). This is thanks to Kara Woo for pointing this out on twitter (https://twitter.com/kara_woo/status/783336540407685120).
• The "show" method for genclone objects now delimits populations and strata by a comma, avoiding confusion with multi-word population names. Thanks to @knausb for the fix in https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/pull/116.
• Documentation for poppr.amova now contains a note about significance testing with the ade4 function randtest.amova.

BUG FIX

• The subsetting methods will now properly handle mlgs when using sample names to subset genclone and snpclone objects. See https://github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr/issues/114 for details.
• A plotting bug for mlg.table() was fixed so that the plots now show the maximum value.

poppr 2.0.1

BUG FIX

• Memory leak with Bruvo's distance was fixed by @JonahBrooks in 90facb4 (issue #40)
• Cutoff field now works for distances other than dissimilarity in imsn (issue #41)
• Switching between data sets no longer shows an error in imsn
• read.genealex can now correctly import missing data for diploids (issue #42)

NEW FEATURES

poppr 2.0.0

COMPATIBILITY UPDATE

• poppr has moved to version 2.0 due to adegenet's recent update. The hierarchy slot introduced in version 1.1 is now being moved to adegenet and renamed strata. For maximum backwards compatibility, all of the hierarchy methods still exist, but they are deprecated and will print a warning with the proper function to use.

NEW MINT FLAVOR

• refreshing!

NEW FEATURES

• The default plot for the index of association will now be a single histogram. The user has the option to visualize the standardized index of association (index = "rbarD", default) or the classic index of association (index = "Ia"). If the user uses the function ia with the argument valuereturn = TRUE, then the resulting object can be plotted with the plot function.
• The function poppr will now plot all populations in a single faceted plot instead of one plot per population.
• aboot and bruvo.boot will now be able to utilize any function to generate trees (suggested in issue #18).
• The mlg slot in the genclone object can now optionally hold an MLG class object. This object will contain different definitions of multilocus genotypes, allowing the user to switch between observed, custom, and mlgs defined given a genetic distance threshold.

• poppr.msn and plot_poppr_msn can now take genlight objects.
• plot_poppr_msn now gives users the option to exclude the legends.
• Default plotting for mlg.table will no longer produce one plot per population. It will now produce a single ggplot object for all populations. Note that the bars are no longer colored by count.
• poppr will no longer calculate "Hexp". Instead, Simpson's index will be calumniated, but the old index can be retrieved by using (N/(N - 1))*lambda.
• poppr can now take any statistic that can be calculated from a table of multilocus genotype counts.
• genind2genalex gains the ability to selectively write different strata.

NEW FUNCTIONS

• filter_stats will show you graphical output of all the algorithms in mlg.filter.
• cutoff_predictor will predict the cutoff threshold from mlg.filter.
• bitwise.dist can efficiently calculate absolute genetic distance for genlight objects.

• diversity_boot will bootstrap a MLG matrix over the statistics specified for get_stats. Can also perform rarefaction bootstrap.
• diversity_ci will calculate and plot confidence intervals for bootstrap resampling of an MLG matrix. This includes rarefaction to the smallest sample size.
• imsn provides an interactive shiny interface for construction of minimum spanning networks.
• pair.ia will calculate the index of association for pairs of loci and plot heatmaps.

NEW CLASSES

• snpclone is an extension of the genlight object that acts very much like genclone. It contains an mlg slot.
• MLG is an internal class that lives inside the mlg slot of snpclone and genclone objects. It allows the user to easily switch between multilocus genotype definitions.

UPDATE

• Updated README to include link to poppr google group.

BUG FIX UPDATE

• Made last bug fix more stable (corrected on ape side).

poppr 1.0.6

BUG FIX

• Fixed bug for users who have downloaded ape version 3.1 or higher where bruvo.boot would throw an error.

MISC

• Updated citation information.

poppr 1.0.5

NOTABLE CHANGE

• The default shuffling algorithm for calculating the index of association has changed from multilocus-style sampling to permutation of alleles. All of the 4 methods are available, but new assignments are as follows: Method 1: permute alleles, Method 2: parametric bootstrap, Method 3: non-parametric bootstrap, Method 4: Multilocus-style sampling. Previously, Multilocus was 1 and the rest followed in the same order. There should be no compatibility issues with this change. Functions affected: ia, poppr shufflepop

BUG FIX

• Bootstrapping algorithm for bruvo.boot function was not shuffling the repeat lengths for each locus resulting in potentially erroneous bootstrap support values. This has been fixed by implementing an internal S4 class that will allow direct bootstrapping of the data and repeat lengths together.
• An occasional error, "INTEGER() can only be applied to a 'integer', not a 'NULL'" in bruvo.boot or bruvo.dist fixed.

IMPROVEMENTS

• Changes to bruvo.boot allow for ever so slightly faster bootstrapping.

MISC

• Permutations for I_A and \bar{r}_d are now visualized as a progress bar as opposed to dots.

poppr 1.0.4

BUG FIX

• A previous error where bootstrap values greater than 100 were reported from bruvo.boot on UPGMA trees has been fixed.
• Fixed correction of negative branch lengths using Kuhner and Felsenstein (1994) normalization for NJ trees.

MISC

• github repository for poppr has changed from github.com/poppr/poppr to github.com/grunwaldlab/poppr

poppr 1.0.3

IMPROVEMENTS

• Optimized internal sampling function to run up to 2x faster.
• Utilized rmultinom function to increase speed of bootstrap sampling methods for shufflepop and ia.

NEW FEATURES

• Function informloci will remove phylogenetically uninformative loci.

NAMESPACE

• Now importing specific functions from igraph and ape due to dependency issues.
• Removed igraph, ape, ggplot2, and phangorn form "Dependencies", but keeping them in "Imports".

BUG FIXES

• read.genalex will no longer insert an "X" in front of loci with numeric names.

poppr 1.0.2

BUG FIXES

• Fixed bug in diss.dist function that would return an inflated distance for haploids.

DOCUMENTATION

• Added explanation for the index of association in poppr_manual.
• Expanded installation section to include installation instructions from github.

MISC

• internal permutation algorithm no longer lists permutations in reverse order

poppr 1.0.1

IMPROVEMENTS

• Algorithm for the index of association was updated to increase speed.

BUG FIXES

• Removed unnecessary rounding factor for missing data in bruvo.dist.
• Corrected handling of duplicate entries for read.genind.
• Input values that are not multiples of the specified repeat length for Bruvo's distance are now rounded (as opposed to being forced as integers).

MISC

• Vignette updated for aesthetics and to reflect algorithmic changes.

poppr 1.0.0

MISC

• Poppr has been confirmed to work on Linux, Mac, and Windows systems with R 3.0.0.
• Vignette poppr_manual now has cross-references to different sections.
• Vignette poppr_manual is quicker loading.

BUG FIXES

• removed alpha channel from plot for resampled values of I_A and \bar{r}_d due to warnings.

poppr 0.4.1

NEW FEATURES

• getfile has a new argument, "combine", which will automatically add the path to the list of files, so they can be read without switching working directory.
• information printed to screen from missingno and mlg.crosspop will now be wrapped to 80 characters.

BUG FIXES

• poppr will now be able to correctly recognize GenAlEx files with both geographic and regional data.
• calculation of the index of association on P/A data with missing values will no longer return an error.

poppr 0.4

BUG FIXES

• mistake in Bruvo's distance where it did not correctly check for ploidy level was fixed.
• read.genalex will be able to correctly distinguish between SNP and AFLP data.
• read.genalex can now correctly recognize regional formatting without an extra column.

NEW FEATURES

• read.genalex will now be able to take in a file that is formatted with both regional and geographic data.
• genind2genalex can now export xy coordinates into the GenAlEx format.
• poppr_manual vignette now contains images of example GenAlEx files.

NEW FILES

• rootrot2.csv is an example of a GenAlEx file formatted with regional data.

OTHER UPDATES

• function for guessing repeat lengths for Bruvo's distance moved into internal file.
• redundancy in read.genalex was removed.
• changed instructions in README

poppr 0.3.1

BUG FIXES

• read.genalex will now give a warning whenever the input file is not comma delimited.

poppr 0.3

NEW FUNCTIONS

• poppr.msn will draw a minimum spanning network for any distance matrix derived from your data set.

NEW FEATURES

• vignette now has sections describing poppr.msn, diss.dist, greycurve, and a section discussing how to export graphics.

BUG FIXES

• The graphs output by poppr and ia will now display \bar{r}_d instead of \bar{r}_D.
• bruvo.boot now has a dedicated quiet argument.

poppr 0.2.2

NEW FEATURES

• index of association distributions will now feature a rug plot at the bottom as a better way to visualize the distribution of the index of association from the shuffled data sets.

poppr 0.2.1

NEW FUNCTIONS

• diss.dist will produce a distance matrix based on discreet distances.

NEW FEATURES

• bruvo.msn can now adjust the edge grey level to be weighted toward either closely or distantly weighted individuals.
• bruvo.msn will now return a list giving the user the graph with all of the color, label, and weight properties so that they can plot it themselves. The legend arguments are also returned.

BUG FIXES

• fixed shufflepop so that it will now shuffle PA markers with a specific method
• fixed warning message mistakes in clonecorrect function.
