regressinator 0.3.1

• augment_longer(), partial_residuals(), and binned_residuals() now support a label argument to give human-readable labels to predictors, rather than using the original variable names.

• The documentation for empirical_link() is improved.

• ols_with_error() gives a clearer error message when the provided error function fails to generate errors, such as if the wrong arguments are provided.

• partial_residuals() and binned_residuals() now correctly handle models with an offset() term in their formula. Previously this would be treated as another predictor and residuals computed for it, which doesn’t make sense. Instead, treat this the same as a value provided in the offset = argument to the model fit.

regressinator 0.3.0

• augment_longer() and augment_quantile_longer() now give one row per predictor per observation, rather than one row per regressor. Their documentation is also corrected to be consistent. This change facilitates plotting residuals against each predictor, which is more interpretable than having plots of residuals against multiple regressors derived from the same predictor (e.g., against a variable and its square).

• The documentation for partial_residuals() now gives the correct definition of partial residuals for GLMs. (The code gave the correct output already, but the stated definition was incorrect.)

• parametric_boot_distribution(), and by extension model_lineup(), now supports models fit with transformations. Previously, using transformations like I(x^2) in model formulas (or using ns() or other functions that transform predictors into matrix columns) would cause the model refitting to fail.

• partial_residuals() now works correctly for models fit with offsets, by fixing the offset to its mean value.

• bin_by_interval() and bin_by_quantile() now base their default number of bins on the number of non-NA observations of the variable to be binned, rather than the total number of rows.

regressinator 0.2.0

• New augment_quantile() and augment_quantile_longer() functions augment model training data with randomized quantile residuals.

• If a predictor() is multivariate (it generates a matrix of multiple columns when sampled from), sample_x() will now use the column names to set the predictor names appropriately, rather than simply numbering them.

• It is now recommended to provide a distribution function to predictor(), rather than a function name as a string. (For example, use predictor(rnorm, mean = 1) rather than predictor("rnorm", mean = 1).) Using a string introduces problems when the distribution function is defined in an environment not on the search path when sample_x() needs to find it; by passing a function directly, sample_x() will always be able to find it.

• partial_residuals() and binned_residuals() now reject tidyselect syntax that tries to rename predictors, or that results in no predictors being selected. This syntax already caused the functions to fail with strange error messages, so it is now more explicitly rejected.

regressinator 0.1.3

This version fixes several bugs that arose during classroom use.

• Simulation functions (model_lineup(), parametric_boot_distribution(), and sampling_distribution()) now check to determine if the model being simulated from was fit using the data = argument, and issue an error if it was not. The simulations work by calling update(fit, data = ...) with newly simulated data, and update() uses this to call the model fit function again with the specified data = argument. But if the model was fit without one, the argument is unused, and the simulations just reuse the original data.

  For example, if you fit this model:

  bad_fit <- lm(cars$dist ~ cars$speed)

  the simulation functions cannot work correctly because even with a different data = argument, the model fit will still refer to cars. The model should be fit like this:

  good_fit <- lm(dist ~ speed, data = cars)

  To prevent simulation problems, a suitable error is issued, so the user can refit the model correctly.

• response() now correctly detects when the error_scale argument was missing and issues the appropriate error.

• augment_longer() now supports models with factor predictors. If there are some factors and some continuous predictors, the factors are omitted from the result; if the predictors are all factors, they are kept.

• parametric_boot_distribution() now supports simulations when alternative_fit uses predictors that were not used in fit. Previously, these would fail because the simulated data frame only contained the predictors used in fit. Supply the new data argument to specify the data frame used in simulations.
