epiworldR 0.6.0.0

New features

• The package now includes the LFMCMC module that implements the likelihood-free Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm. This module is used to estimate the parameters of the models.

• The new function add_param() allows the user to add parameters to the model.

• The new function rm_globalevent() allows the user to remove global events from the model.

• The function today() returns the current day (step) of the simulation.

Misc

• We changed the versioning system. To allow the R package to increase version number while preserving epiworld (C++) versioning, we added a fourth number that indicates R-only patches (similar to RcppArmadillo).

epiworldR 0.3-2

• Starting version 0.3-0, epiworldR is versioned using the same version as the C++ library, epiworld.

• Adds the new mixing models ModelSIRMixing and ModelSEIRMixing.

• Ports the Entity class. Entities are used to group agents within a model.

• Refactors add_tool, add_virus, and add_entity simplifying syntax. Now, these functions only receive the model and object. Prevalence is specified in the object itself. add_tool_n and add_virus_n are now deprecated.

• globalaction_* are now defunct. Use globalevent_* instead.

• New functions to specify how viruses, tools, and entities are distributed among agents: distribute_viruses, distribute_tools, and distribute_entities.

epiworldR 0.1-0

• Force model to update agents’ states when running a simulation. This was causing issues when calling run_multiple() after a single call of run(). Reported on 14.

epiworldR 0.0-4

• Added missing checks of tool class when adding a model with add_too_n.

• Various small improvements.

epiworldR 0.0-3

• Added the following models: ModelSEIRD, ModelSEIRDCONN, ModelSIRD, ModelSIRDCONN, and ModelSISD.

• Fixed a bug reported on issue 6.

epiworldR 0.0-2

• Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.

• Fixed bug reported by CRAN about reference to nullptr.

• Renamed arguments across Models in favor of consistency.

• Figures now show virus/tool name instead of id.

• Fixed bug in run_multiple and added more tests (C++).

• Redid autoconf and Makevars using RcppArmadillo as a template for checking for OpenMP.
