Tools and methods to simulate populations for surveys based
on auxiliary data. The tools include model-based methods, calibration and
combinatorial optimization algorithms, see Templ, Kowarik and Meindl (2017)

Changes in simPop version 0.1.9
Changes in simPop version 0.1.8
remove S3-class spBwplot() -> only default method was implemented. Removed option to supply a list of populations; rewritten to use 'simPopObj'-objects
fixed man files for spBwplot() and spBwplotStats()
updated calibPop() so that the function uses and returns objects of class 'simPopObj'
auxData()-methods to query/set 'sample' slot in 'simPopObj'-objects
Changes in simPop version 0.1.7
parallel-computing on windows-platforms using doParallel-package
removed spTable.formula method (did not work correctly, anyway)
parallel processing on windows using doParallel-package and foreach with %dopar%
fixed a problem in calibPop.cpp where export of params-object in a list was not done correctly
refactorization of calibPop.R to allow parallel computing
Changes in simPop version 0.1.6
removed method 'ctree' from simCategorical() -> perhaps add it later
removed argument 'basic' from simCategorical(). The function now uses variables listed in slot @basicHHvars of the input object of class 'simPopObj'.
made check that slot basicHHvars after simStructure() contains at least one variable.
new utility-function manageSynthPopObj() to get/set variables in objects of class 'simPopObj'
updated a lot of Rd-Files with (now) working examples
updated simEUSILC()
Changes in simPop version 0.1.5
combined classes 'sampleObj' and 'popObj' into 'dataObj'
renamed specify_sample() to specifyInput()
adjusted NAMESPACE files, documentation and functions to reflect these changes
Parallelization of simContinous() on non-windows platforms
porting simContinous() to use new class 'simPopObj' as input
Changes in simPop version 0.1.4
starting to use new classes 'sampleObj', 'popObj' and 'simPopObj' for the entire package
various fixes and improvements such as a new c++ implementation of calibVars()
cleanup dependencies in DESCRIPTION and NAMESPACE
remove method 'liblinear' from simCategorical() - has never really worked
Changes in simPop version 0.1.3
parallelize simRelevation() on non-windows platforms
c++ algorithm for simulated annealing in calibPop()
multiple commits to fix documentation and cran-notes/warnings when checking
Changes in simPop version 0.1.2
temporarily add explicit parallel-option to calibPop() for testing-purposes
more efficient implementation of auxiliary-function resample() used in calibPop()
changed default setting for auxiliary-variable 'factor' in calibPop() which now allows the algorithm to terminate in an accceptable time
added R/zzz.R to get current package version on loading the package
Changes in simPop version 0.1.1
more efficient c++ implementation of iterative proportional updating
multiple imports from package simPopulation
reorganizations (simAnnealing -> simPop,...)
Changes in simPop version 0.1.0
code largely based on version 0.4.1 of simPopulation
use package parallel if possible for some functions (non-windows platforms)
first version of simulated annealing
first (very rough) version of IPU (iterative proportional updating)
remove vignette from simPopulation
update Citation
new methods for simCategorical (naivebayes, ctree and liblinear)
