News for R Package epigrowthfit

Tests in ‘tests/egf_utils.R’ wrongly relied on the type of the value of a call to seq.int, causing errors under R 4.5.

egf_cache is removed. Serializing objects under tools::R_user_dir("epigrowthfit", "cache") for reuse in examples and tests introduced a race condition when running two or more checks concurrently, and workarounds were not appealing.

emdbook is removed from the Suggests field of ‘DESCRIPTION’. A full check of the package requires only TMB and its dependencies.

Use ⁠\donttest⁠ for examples in ‘man/profile.egf.Rd’, which remained too long.
Include URL in ‘man/covid19.ontario.Rd’ with ⁠\verb⁠ instead of ⁠\href⁠ to avoid HTTP 403.

A “traditional” model estimating function egf, returning model objects of class egf.
Methods for generic functions: coef, confint, df.residual, extractAIC, fitted, fixef (from nlme), formula, getCall, logLik, model.frame, model.matrix, nobs, plot, predict, print, profile, ranef (from nlme), simulate, summary, terms, vcov.
Auxiliary functions of use in epidemiology: R0, finalsize, timescale, [dpqr]gi.
For as long as the version number is 0.y.z, details of the API are subject to change without formal deprecation. Significant user-visible changes will be documented here.
