mfrmr 0.1.5

Maintenance release

First-use workflow

• Reworked print(fit), summary(fit), and summary(diagnose_mfrm(...)) so results start with Status, Key warnings, and Next actions.
• Added a clearer recommended workflow in the README and help pages: fit with MML, review diagnostics with diagnostic_mode = "both", then move to reporting helpers.
• Improved ordered-score handling and guidance, including binary two-category use, rejection of fractional score values, non-consecutive score-code mapping through score_map, and clearer warnings for retained zero-count categories.

Estimation and scoring

• Added the first public latent-regression MML branch for ordered RSM / PCM fits with person covariates, including simulation and scoring support for the fitted population model.
• Added bounded GPCM support for the documented direct route, including core summaries, diagnostics, plots, posterior scoring, and information checks, while keeping unsupported downstream routes explicit.
• Extended ordered-response support and documentation for binary RSM / PCM use, fixed-calibration scoring after JML, and PCM information curves.

Diagnostics, reporting, and visualization

• Added strict marginal follow-up plots through plot_marginal_fit() and plot_marginal_pairwise().
• Strengthened the reporting surface with reporting_checklist(), build_summary_table_bundle(), export_summary_appendix(), and visual_reporting_template() for manuscript-oriented tables, appendix artifacts, and figure-placement guidance.
• Added structured caveats in summaries and appendix tables for retained zero-count score categories and latent-regression population-model omission/design issues.
• Added exploratory plot(fit, type = "ccc_surface", draw = FALSE) output for advanced visualization while keeping 2D Wright/pathway/category plots as the default reporting route.

External-software scope

• Added scoped ConQuest overlap helpers and concise software-scope summaries for FACETS, ConQuest, and SPSS handoffs.
• Clarified latent-regression reporting outputs so coefficient reporting is kept separate from post hoc score regression.

mfrmr 0.1.4

CRAN resubmission

• Replaced a misencoded author name in documentation references so the PDF manual builds cleanly under CRAN’s LaTeX checks.
• Revised DESCRIPTION references again to avoid incoming spell-check notes while preserving the requested author-year-doi citation format.

mfrmr 0.1.3

CRAN resubmission

• Revised DESCRIPTION references to use the requested authors (year) <doi:...> format.
• Added a documented return-value section for facet_quality_dashboard(), including the output class, structure, and interpretation.
• Replaced \dontrun{} with \donttest{} for executable examples so CRAN can exercise those examples during checks.

mfrmr 0.1.2

CRAN resubmission

• Further reduced CRAN check time by trimming the CRAN-only test subset to lightweight smoke tests after the incoming pretest still reported a Windows overall-checktime NOTE for version 0.1.1.

mfrmr 0.1.1

CRAN resubmission

• Revised DESCRIPTION metadata to avoid CRAN incoming spell-check notes on cited proper names.
• Reduced CRAN check time by skipping long integration and coverage-expansion test files during CRAN checks while keeping the full local test suite.

mfrmr 0.1.0

Initial release

• Native R implementation of many-facet Rasch model (MFRM) estimation without TAM/sirt backends.
• Supports arbitrary facet counts with fit_mfrm() and method selection (MML default, JML).
• Includes FACETS-style bias/interaction iterative estimation via estimate_bias().
• Provides fixed-width report helpers (build_fixed_reports()).
• Adds APA-style narrative output (build_apa_outputs()).
• Adds visual warning summaries (build_visual_summaries()) with configurable threshold profiles.
• Implements residual PCA diagnostics and visualization (analyze_residual_pca(), plot_residual_pca()).
• Bundles Eckes & Jin (2021)-inspired synthetic Study 1/2 datasets in both data/ and inst/extdata/.

Package operations and publication readiness

• Added GitHub Actions CI for cross-platform R CMD check.
• Added CONTRIBUTING.md, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, and SECURITY.md.
• Added citation metadata (inst/CITATION, CITATION.cff).
• Expanded README with explicit installation and citation instructions.
