CHANGES IN VERSION 1.0-10

USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

• Generics that accept ... arguments but do not use them will now issue warnings when called with unknown arguments. Suggestion thanks to Joshua Bon.

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.0-8

USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

• Compatible with TMLE >= 2.0.1.

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.0-7

USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

• Treatment and propensity score (when applicable) are now added to parametric model. Thanks to Joshua Bon for noticing their absence.

BUG-FIXES

• summary now correctly computes SATE.

• summary now correctly computes sub-group averages.

• Propensity score samples correctly stored for stan4bart models.

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.0-5

NEW FEATURES

• bartc now accepts a seed argument that yields reproducible results, even when running with multiple threads and multiple chains.

• New parametric argument to bartc allows for arbitrary linear and multilevel models. Requires the stan4bart package to be installed.

BUG-FIXES

• Now works with response models in "tmle" and "p.weight" when p.scoreAsCovariate is FALSE.

• Correctly summarizes the number of samples when n.chains = 1.

• sumamry now correctly computes variance expansion for PATE with weighted observations.

• summary correctly drops observations from averages when common support rules are being used. Bug report thanks to Marcela Veselkova.

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.0-4

NEW FEATURES

• predict now accepts as options "mu" and "y" for when the user-supplied newdata object already has a valid treatment assignment.

USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

• Default type argument for predict is now "mu".

• bartc argument crossvalidateBinary renamed to crossvalidate. Accepts one of TRUE, FALSE, "trt", or "rsp". This feature is experimental and discouraged from use.

• Confounder expressions that can evaluate successfully in the calling environment but yield a warning are now treated as if they threw an error.

• summary for models fit with group.effects as TRUE will use the level names of the grouping factor when reporting the sub-group estimates.

BUG-FIXES

• "ite", "sate", "y.0", and "y.1" for generics now returns correctly. Report thanks to Bryan Keller.

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.0-3

NEW FEATURES

• Confounders can be passed in as literals when using data argument. This can be of assistance in using complicated formulae with many variables.

BUG-FIXES

• Passing check with tmle version >= 1.5.0.

• Fixed effects should now execute correctly.

CHANGES IN VERSION 1.0

• Initial public release.
