dosearch 1.0.12

• Fixed an issue related to an upcoming igraph update.

dosearch 1.0.11

• Fixed a memory allocation issue with LDAGs.

dosearch 1.0.10

• Added support for user-defined context-specific variables for LDAGs via con_vars in control.
• Removed C++11 from system requirements (for CRAN).

dosearch 1.0.9

• Added several sanity checks for the input distributions and the graph.
• Updated the documentation in various aspects. Importantly, it is now noted that dosearch is not complete for missing data problems.
• A non-identifiable query is now reported as follows: “The query is non-identifiable by do-search” to further clarify that the search was not able to identify the query.
• Added a new Vignette for the package.
• Added a plot method via the DiagrammeR package to produce derivation plots more easily.
• An error is now issued when the input graph is too large.
• Fixed an example on transportability in the dosearch function documentation.

dosearch 1.0.8

• Added citation for the related article in the Journal of Statistical Software.

dosearch 1.0.7

• Changed the default option of the search heuristic to FALSE for all instances.
• Implemented minor performance tweaks to the search algorithm.
• Added more options for benchmarking.
• Restored a legacy control parameter for internal use.
• Moved igraph and dagitty packages to ‘Suggests’.

dosearch 1.0.6

• Fixed a case where the search would continue unnecessarily for some time after discovering the target distribution.

dosearch 1.0.5

• The resulting list of the ‘dosearch’ function call now has the class dosearch with print and summary methods.
• Added accessor functions get_formula, get_benchmark and is_identifiable to query an object of class dosearch.
• The function get_derivation is now repurposed as an accessor function, and dosearch is now the only function for query identification.
• The graph argument of dosearch now supports the igraph format used by the causaleffect package (see dosearch documentation for examples).
• The graph argument of dosearch now supports DAGs created using the dagitty package (see dosearch documentation for examples).
• Fixed an issue when using benchmark = TRUE in control.

dosearch 1.0.4

• Fixed compilation issues on some platforms.

dosearch 1.0.3

• Now supports context specific independence relations (CSIs) via labeled directed acyclic graphs (LDAGs). See the documentation and examples for more details.
• The function get_derivation can now also be called via dosearch.
• Bidirected edges can now also be given as <->.
• Added a new control parameter, time_limit, which will terminate the search when the given amount of time (in hours) has passed (only when benchmark = TRUE).
• Some redundant control options have been removed.
• Fixed an issue with derivation rules when missing data was present.
• Fixed an another minor issue regarding missing data.
• Fixed a rare issue with formula generation.

dosearch 1.0.2

• Added an example on how to produce an image from the DOT derivation.
• Added a warning when the response indicator for a proxy variable is not present in any data source.

dosearch 1.0.1

• Added a Vignette describing the search procedure.
