Removed option to supply a list of populations; rewritten to use 'simPopObj'-objects o fixed man files for spBwplot() and spBwplotStats() o updated calibPop() so that the function uses and returns objects of class 'simPopObj' o auxData()-methods to query/set 'sample' slot in 'simPopObj'-objects Changes in version 0.1.7 o parallel-computing on windows-platforms using doParallel-package o removed spTable.formula method (did not work correctly, anyway) o parallel processing on windows using doParallel-package and foreach with %dopar% o fixed a problem in calibPop.cpp where export of params-object in a list was not done correctly o refactorization of calibPop.R to allow parallel computing Changes in version 0.1.6 o removed method 'ctree' from simCategorical() -> perhaps add it later o removed argument 'basic' from simCategorical(). The function now uses variables listed in slot @basicHHvars of the input object of class 'simPopObj'. o made check that slot basicHHvars after simStructure() contains at least one variable. o new utility-function manageSynthPopObj() to get/set variables in objects of class 'simPopObj' o updated a lot of Rd-Files with (now) working examples o updated simEUSILC() Changes in version 0.1.5 o combined classes 'sampleObj' and 'popObj' into 'dataObj' o renamed specify_sample() to specifyInput() o adjusted NAMESPACE files, documentation and functions to reflect these changes o Parallelization of simContinous() on non-windows platforms o porting simContinous() to use new class 'simPopObj' as input Changes in version 0.1.4 o starting to use new classes 'sampleObj', 'popObj' and 'simPopObj' for the entire package o various fixes and improvements such as a new c++ implementation of calibVars() o cleanup dependencies in DESCRIPTION and NAMESPACE o remove method 'liblinear' from simCategorical() - has never really worked Changes in version 0.1.3 o parallelize simRelevation() on non-windows platforms o c++ algorithm for simulated annealing in calibPop() o multiple commits to fix documentation and cran-notes/warnings when checking Changes in version 0.1.2 o temporarily add explicit parallel-option to calibPop() for testing-purposes o more efficient implementation of auxiliary-function resample() used in calibPop() o changed default setting for auxiliary-variable 'factor' in calibPop() which now allows the algorithm to terminate in an accceptable time o added R/zzz.R to get current package version on loading the package Changes in version 0.1.1 o more efficient c++ implementation of iterative proportional updating o multiple imports from package simPopulation o reorganizations (simAnnealing -> simPop,...)
