• improve installation instruction
  • streamline suggested packages
  • minor fixes and improvements
  • some minor adjustments of code in vignette mdepriv_get_started
  • few code-simplifications of functions mdepriv and corr_mat with no effect on their functionality
  • more efficient code for matrix filling within functions mdepriv and corr_mat
  • code related to filling and to processing of matrices implemented as helper functions in a separate R file (utils.R)
  • code to execute error / stop actions due to incorrect arguments of the functions mdepriv and corr_mat gathered as helper functions in a separate R file (checks.R)
  • overall tidied up function code
  • section on handling of missing values added to vignette mdepriv_get_started
  • minor formal changes in vignette mdepriv_get_started
  • internal trimming of mdepriv()’s output score_i to the range [0, 1] added. This was done due to rarely observed very minor overshooting of 1 by some values of score_i (difference < 1e-15). If in such a case the output score_i would have been used as one of the items in a higher-level model with mdepriv(), that run would fail because items are restricted to the range [0, 1].
  • besides the trimming of mdepriv()’s output score_i, no change in functionality of the package mdepriv
  • fixed bug: tibble in addition to ordinary data.frame or matrix as argument data: enabled in functions mdepriv and corr_mat.
  • 1st release on GitHub
  • 2 functions: mdepriv, corr_mat
  • 2 datasets: MSNA_HC, simul_data
  • 2 vignettes: mdepriv_get_started, what_is_different_from_stata
