DATE ; tweedie 2.3.2
- Added outputs gamma.mean and gamma.phi to tweedie.convert()
- Added more error checks to tweedie.convert() to prevent a model being provided
15 November 2017: tweedie 2.3.1
- Updated pwteedie.series to fix a bug (reported by Lu Yang),
where incorrect answers could sometimes be returned.
- Other minor fixes
06 November 2017: tweedie 2.3.0
- Fixed an issue with AICtweedie, where the incorrect AIC
was given when prior weights used (reported by David Scollnik)
- Fixed a compilation error (in the subroutine smallp, where
variables were declared as initialised (many thanks to
Iñaki Úcar [email protected])
- Other minor edits.
23 August 2017: tweedie 2.2.10
22 August 2017: tweedie 2.2.9
- Fixed tweedie.f to keep it quiet more often (sometimes, diagnostic reports
meant for internal monitoring, were printed)
- Fixed a problem reported by Gustavo Lacerda, where ptweedie() returned NaN
- As a result, the series is now used in far more cases when 1<xi<2 for ptweedie()
- Changed rtweedie() algorithm for the case 1<xi<2 (thanks to Carlos J. Gil Bellosta)
- New function tweedie.convert() added
19 December 2016: tweedie 2.2.5
- Added CITATION file
- Fixed an issue where the Tweedie cdf could return a value greater than one (reported by Jeremie Juste)
- Minor tidy of FORTRAN code
- Minor tidies in R code
June 2014: tweedie 2.1.9
- Some administrative fixes for CRAN
10 July 2013: tweedie 2.1.8
- Fixed an issue where ptweedie() would fail for very small y; set this to 0 when y<1.0e-300
(based on a report by Johann Cuenin)
15 January 2013: tweedie 2.1.7
- Admin release (e.g. .First.lib() removed)
- Some minor edits to manual
- Added the control input to tweedie.profile()
(thanks to Giri Khageswor, DPI Victoria)
- Minor fixes in the manual
01 November 2012: tweedie 2.1.5
- Changed the example in tweedie-package to execute faster (CRAN requirement)
31 October 2012: tweedie 2.1.4
- Fixed an error in dtweedie() that reported NA in the case when power=1 and phi!=1
(thanks to Dina Farkas)
- [dqpr]stable now in package stabledist rather then fBasics; fixed
- Fixed some typos in the help for tweedie-package (thanks to Peng Yu)
- rtweedie reported an error if power=1; fixed (thanks for Peng Yu)
- Edits to conform with new first argument of .Fortran (i.e. .NAME rather than name)
- Added NAMESPACE
09 June 2011: tweedie 2.1.0
- Changed tweedie.profile to ignore values of p/xi outside (1,2)
rather than report an error.
- In some unusual cases, when p/xi=0 was used (with add0=TRUE), the
mle of p was between 0 and 1 (which is impossible). We report a
warning message to check the data and the call to tweedie.profile(),
but then set the mle to the value of p/xi giving the larger value
of the likelihood
- Made the functions usually called by users able to accept xi or power
- A few minor edits to FORTRAN code; some variables not declared
08 June 2011: tweedie 2.0.8
- Minor fixes to documentation
- Fixed the add0 input
- Some minor changes to the code to tidy up adding the zero
- If values of xi/p are given between 0 and 1, or less than 0,
they are now omitted (with a message) rather than creating an error.
If there are no values left after omitting the problem value,
an error message is given.
30 September 2010: tweedie 2.0.7
- Ensured tweedie.profile does not use power=1. This case
(power=1 and phi not equal to 1) is too hard for me to deal with at present.
- Fixed an error introduced in version 2.0.5, where the value of xi/vec/p.vec
was set to 1.2 (y>=0) or 1.5 (y>0) when not explictly specified
- Fixed an error that reported the wrong mle of phi when the mle
occured at an endpoint of the given xi values.
26 August 2010: tweedie 2.0.5
- Change to dtweedie.inversion to ensure density=0 is returned
when y<0 (1<p<2) or p<-0 (when p>2)
- Change to tweedie.profile to fix a problem that p=1 returned an error
- Changed so that tweedie.profile works withg p/xi = 0 when add0=TRUE (default is FALSE)
- Fixed some minor outputting messages (when verbose==2)
- Location of CITATION file moved to correct location
12 July 2010: tweedie 2.0.4
18 December 2009: tweedie 2.0.3
- Changed default p.vec: There were too many values
- Added the facility to refer to p as xi in line with GLMs text
17 November 2009: tweedie 2.0.1
- Changed the default p.vec when 1<p<2 to seq(1.2, 1.8, by=0.05)
(it was seq(1.2, 1.8, by=0.1) )
- Slightly changed default output (added sep="" to some paste commands)
- Added AICtweedie to compute AIC for Tweedie glms
10 August 2009: tweedie 2.0.0
- Made method="inversion" the default (was "series")
- Slightly changed default output (added sep="" to some paste commands)
tweedie 1.6.9
- An error introduced earlier (unsure when exactly; prob v 1.6.1)
- In trying to identify and fix the error, tidied some of the FORTRAN code
- Made do.smooth=TRUE the default (was FALSE)
- If p.vec is not supplied, tweedie.profile makes a sensible guess
- Made verbose=FALSE the default (was TRUE)
- Made minor changes to output when verbose=FALSE
tweedie 1.6.8
- Correct error in dtweedie.saddle y=0 for 1<p,2
(Thanks to Glenn Meyers [email protected])
tweedie 1.6.7
- Correct error in rtweedie when power=1 and phi\ne 1
(Thanks to Frederic Gosselin [email protected])
tweedie 1.6.6
- Corrected specification of GPL; no changes to functionality, code or documentation
tweedie 1.6.5
- In dtweedie, added power==3 (inverse Gaussian) as a special case
- Minor change in documentation
tweedie 1.6.4
- Added data, weights, and offset input arguments
- Fixed a bug where "=>" was used rather than ">="
tweedie 1.6.3
- Fixed a bug in tweedie.profile: exact zeros still allowed p=2 (but not p>2)
tweedie 1.6.2
- Fixed a bug in ptweedie.inversion where variable cdf was undefined
- Fixed a bug in qtweedie where any(power)<1 should have been any(power<1)
tweedie 1.6.1
- Fixed error in tweedie.f (twice) where a float was used in a do-loop
tweedie 1.6
- Fixed a bug in ptweedie: It now returns 0 when y<0 (rather than reporting an error)
- Fixed a bug in ptweedie.inversion: y.len was undefined
- Fixed a bug in dwteedie.inversion: if( any(phi<0) ) written as if (any(phi) <0 )
tweedie 1.5.3:
- Built for R version 2.6.0
- Changed the tweedie.plot to produce no default x and y labels
tweedie 1.5.2:
- Built for R version 2.5.1
- Removed the inversion computation from the example for dtweedie;
it was very slow and hence caused problems
tweedie 1.5.1:
- Built for R version 2.5.0
- Fixed citation details
- Added note in dtweedie help page indicating where the methods
are defined (Dunn and Smyth, 2007).
- Added tweedie-package.Rd
- Fixed a small bug in dtweedie.inversion (replaced p with power)
02 May 2007: tweedie 1.5
- Built for R version 2.5
- Made change to use of pmatch in function tweedie
- Swapped the order of methods 1 and 2 in the call of
tweedie.inversion to make consistent with a change
in the associated paper Dunn and Smyth.
- Fixed an uninitialized variable error in the FORTRAN code
which sometimes caused the inversion procedure to fail.
- Other minor changes (fixing spelling errors, updated
Dunn and Smyth reference; etc.)
04 December 2006: tweedie 1.4
- Some very minor changes (some cosmetic) in the code
- Made the code more robust, exiting gracefully when Inf and NA appear
in the computed log-likelihood
- Slightly changed the output plot in tweedie.profile, to reflect
that some value of p.vec may not have a corresponding likelihood
computed accurately (or, indeed, at all)
- Added new function tweedie.plot to make it easier to plot Tweedie
densities
tweedie 1.02
- Built for R version 2.0.0
- Major fix: The mle estimate of phi was incorrect in tweedie.profile
(thanks Sarah Lennox, QDPI&F)
- Some better warnings in tweedie.profile
- tweedie.profile now allows the actual computed points to
be added to the plot using the do.points option (default
is TRUE)
- The tweedie.profile function now smooth and computes
confidence intervals even when the computed likelihood
values contain Infs or NAs.
tweedie 1.01
- Built for R version 1.9
- fixed a bug in rtweedie: it failed for p=2 (thanks
Sarah Lennox, QDPI&F)
- fixed a bug in qtweedie: it failed in some cases
(thanks Gordon Smyth, WEHI)
- added a proper .First.lib function (!) (thanks to
James Wettenhall and Gordon Smyth, WEHI)
- other minor bugs fixed
- the tweedie family function removed, and package
made dependent on the statmod package
- updated for R version 1.9
