ageutils 0.1.2

• Small tweaks to vignette css and js.

ageutils 0.1.1

• Added an introductory vignette.

• Small number of documentation improvements.

ageutils 0.1.0

Fixes

• Fix bug in the incorrect calculation of some counts in reaggregate_rates(). Thanks to Neil Wilkins for the report.

Breaking changes

• cut_ages() and breaks_to_interval() now return columns named lower and upper as opposed to lower_bounds and upper_bound respectively. This is for consistency with the output of reaggregate_counts() and reaggregate_rates() (as well as the convenience of brevity).

• reaggregate_counts() and reaggregate_rates() are no longer implemented as generics.

Other

• Motivated by the recent bug reports from Neil, reaggregate_counts() and reaggregate_rates() have been refactored internally to use a simpler approach. Whilst these functions are now a little less performant for our common use cases, they are, hopefully, easier to understand.

ageutils 0.0.9

• Fix erroneous input assertion in reaggregate_counts() in relation to the arguments bounds and population_bounds. Thanks to Neil Wilkins for flagging.

• Fix bug in the incorrect calculation of some counts in reaggregate_counts(). Thanks again to Neil Wilkins for the report.

• Clarify one error message in reaggregate_rates().

ageutils 0.0.8

• The following functions which were deprecated in the 0.0.5 release have now been removed from the package and will now signal an error of class defunctError if called.

  • aggregate_age_counts()
  • reaggregate_interval_counts()
  • reaggregate_interval_rates
  • split_interval_counts()

  The use of these could be a little confusing and it was hard to achieve consistency with their APIs. reaggregate_counts() and reaggregate_rates() can be used to replicate most of the old functionality.

ageutils 0.0.7

• Fixed bug in reaggregate_rates() where, in some circumstances, the last row of the data frame output would have an incorrect value.

ageutils 0.0.6

• Simplifies the internal implementation of cut_ages(). This refactoring has resulted in minor tweaks to the given error messages as well as a small bug fix relating to how max_upper argument was being rounded (i.e. we were calling round() rather than raising to the next integer(ish) number with ceiling() as intended).

ageutils 0.0.5

• Adds new functions reaggregate_counts() and reaggregate_rates() which provide a simplified API for reaggregation compared to reaggregate_interval_counts() and reaggregate_interval_rates(). These use an elegant approach to reaggregation suggested by @BlackEdder.

• Deprecates (with warning of class “deprecatedWarning”) the following functions:

  • aggregate_age_counts()
  • reaggregate_interval_counts()
  • reaggregate_interval_rates
  • split_interval_counts()

  The use of these could be a little confusing and it was hard to achieve consistency with their APIs. reaggregate_counts() and reaggregate_rates() can be used to replicate most of the old functionality.

ageutils 0.0.4

• Fixes an error in reaggregate_interval_rates() which caused the first entry of the output to be incorrect when the breaks were not specified from 0. Thanks to @BlackEdder for the report.

ageutils 0.0.3

• Internal changes only.

ageutils 0.0.2

• aggregate_age_counts() will now only return a row corresponding to NA ages if they were present in the input data. Previously an NA-associated row would always be returned even if it’s count was 0. Due to this change reaggregate_interval_counts() will now never return an NA-associated row.

• split_interval_counts() now matches the documentation and disallows missing (NA) bounds.

• breaks_to_interval() and cut_ages() both gain an argument, max_upper which allows users to explicitly set the maximum upper bound.

• New function reaggregate_interval_rates().

• For the vignette we now use markdown as a lighter alternative to rmarkdown.

ageutils 0.0.1

Initial release of ageutils which provides a collection of efficient functions for working with individual ages and corresponding intervals. These include functions for efficient conversion from an age to an interval, aggregation of ages with associated counts in to intervals and the splitting of interval counts based on specified age distributions.

Functions are derived from those in the ympes with the intention being to remove these functions from that package in favour of this one going forward.
