Minor Updates

Added Functionality

• Added length.VectorDistribution
• Added ids parameter to VectorDistribution to allow specifying names for wrapped distributions. Extended extract.VectorDistribution so these ids can be used for extraction.
• Added sugar function dstr to construct distributions more easily, e.g. dstr("Binom", size = 4) instead of Binomial$new(size = 4).
• Added sugar function dstrs to construct a VectorDistribution of distributions.
• ParameterSet method setParameterValue now includes resolveConflicts parameter for resolving conflicts between conflicting parameters (see below). This should primarily only be used internally and is useful for transforming composite distributions.

Edited Functionality

• The separator for composite (wrapped) distributions is now __ (before _). This may affect backwards compatibility in rare cases.
• Construction and setting of parameters is now changed. Previously this relied on knowing a confusing hierarchy in parameters which would take priority over one another. Now if conflicting parameters are supplied in construction or on setting an error is returned, e.g. Binomial$new(prob = 0.1, qprob = 0.2) would cause an error. This may affect bacwards compatibility however should not do so if distributions are correctly constructed/updated without conflicts.
• setParameterValue in ParameterSet no longer errors if a non-settable parameter is updated, instead a warning is given and the parameter is ignored.
• Multivariate distributions no longer error if constructed with a single variate, though this is still advised against.
• Internal changes to how SDistribution parameter defaults are set. Previously these were set in the constructor with function defaults, now they are set in the ParameterSet. This should not affect backwards compatibility. This should improve speed of distribution construction.

Deprecated/Removed Functionality

• Data parameter in WeightedDiscrete distribution has now been removed.

Bug fixes/Under the Hood Edits

• Minor bug fixes in some distribution properties.
• MixtureDistribution now uses extraDistr::rmnom for speed improvements.
• Slight improvement to error messages in ParameterSet but these will be improved further in a future update.
• Minor internal changes to storage method of SDistribution ParameterSet objects.
• Fixed typos in parameter sets

Documentation

• Documentation for SDistribution objects has been restructured for easier reading, the distribution default is now included.
• Fixed typos

Minor Updates

Added/Edited Functionality

• Multivariate functions in VectorDistribution now return arrays
• Analytical median now available for SDistributions where closed form expressions are known
• Kernels now implemented in Rcpp with analytical log-pdf expressions. Analytical lower.tail and log.p will come in future versions.
• Adding plotting for bivariate distributions using {plotly}
• Added EmpiricalMV for empirical multivariate distributions
• All documentation now uses roxygen R6
• Distribution type is now required in construction custom Distributions as the previous method of 'guessing' was inefficient.
• Added ParameterSetCollection for Wrappers. Same functionality as before but much more efficient.
• Added $addDeps and $deps to ParameterSets to replace updateFunc. This allows faster and more precise control over parameter updates.
• Added $addChecks and $checks to ParameterSets to replace custom checks in distributions, and $addTrafos and $trafos to replace custom parameter transformations before setting. These allows clearner control over parameter setting.
• categories parameter in Categorical now called nCategories
• Constructor of Categorical now requires elements to be provided as a list to elements
• settable in ParameterSet now refers to the more intuitive flag that describes if a parameter can be set after construction
• Added length active binding to ParameterSet to return number of parameters in the set.
• Renamed squared2Norm in Kernels to pdfSquared2Norm and added x to arguments to allow for shifted norms.
• Added mixturiseVector for mixing vector distributions

Deprecated Functions/Fields/Methods

• Individual property and trait accessors deprecated: $support, $symmetry, $kurtosisType, $skewnessType, $valueSupport, $variateForm, $type
• Separated Loglogistic and ShiftedLoglogistic so only the latter has a location parameter. Additionally added an analytical rand expression to ShiftedLoglogistic, and Loglogistic now implemented from package actuar
• Removed deprecated classes: ArrayDistribution
• Removed deprecated functions: listSpecialSets
• WeighedDiscrete distribution now stores samples and probabilities as parameters.
• Removed verbose argument from distribution constructor
• Public update method in ParameterSet moved to private
• Removed squared2Norm from the ExoticStatistics decorator
• Deprecated updateFunc from ParameterSet
• Removed .getRefParams from SDistributions and added deps

Patches

• Bugfix in decorate function that was overwriting the decorators private field instead of appending
• Vastly improved speed of construction of SDistribution and Kernel
• Bugfix in $rand for Geometric distribution with trials == TRUE , previously was randomising between $[1, Inf)$ not $[0, Inf)$
• Changed default form parameter in NegativeBinomial, now errors if supplied argument is not in one of the four choices (previously reverted to "fbs")
• Fixed bug in MultivariateNormal rand() which was not adding the mean correctly
• Massive bottleneck in VectorDistribution for same distribution type removed in d/p/q/r functions as well as non-generating function methods
• Improved speed in VectorDistribution when only one row or column of data passed to d/p/q
• Dirichlet, DiscreteUniform, Frechet Gumbel, Pareto, Rayleigh, Triangular, Wald now implemented from package extraDistr

• Improved speed of assertions by using package {checkmate}
• Bugfix in listDistributions which was overriding filtering with simplify

distr6 1.3.0

Major Updates

• None

Minor Updates

Added Functions and Classes

• plot function for plotting the pdf, cdf, survival, quantile, hazard, cumhazard or distr6 objects
• lines function for superimposing distr6 plots
• qqplot function for comparing distr6 distributions to each other or to other theoretical distributions
• Added Extract.VectorDistribution for extracted distributions from inside a VectorDistribution, see the big update below.

Deprecated Functions

• None

Updated Functions

• decorate now allows users to specify the Decorator as a character as well as supplying the object, this makes it simpler when using distr6 whilst unattached
• Big changes (and hopefully final) to the VectorDistribution. Now the VectorDistribution only constructs the internal wrapped distributions when they are extracted or when a function, such as d/p/q/r, are called. This massively reduces a bottleneck in constructing the distribution. Additionally added functions for extracting distributions from inside the VectorDistribution. The only difference that should affect backwards compatibility is that the distribution argument must now be a character and not an object. Custom (i.e. non-SDistribution) distributions should be used in conjunction with the distlist initializer.
• Changed the lower bound of positive Sets to .Machine$double.xmin as the previous value of 1.1e-15 was too restrictive
• Added skewness, kurtosis, entropy, mgf, cf, and pgf to WeightedDiscrete and Empirical
• Added support for custom distributions in VectorDistribution and for CoreStatistics functions as well as support for only one arguments passed to d/p/q/r for fast comparisons between wrapped distributions

Patches

• Bug fix in WeightedDiscrete distribution variance calculation
• Fixed bug in Empirical that was stopping the cdf of the first point in the distribution being evaluated
• Fixed bug that allowed invalid parameter values to be set for non-reference parameters
• Updated parameter error messages to be more informative
• Improved speed and efficiency in Distribution constructor for wrappers

Updated Functions

• Added the common survival parameterisation of Weibull distribution
• Updated the listX functions to make them quicker and functional when distr6 is not attached
• Added suppressMoments argument to Distribution constructor to allow for faster construction

Patches

distr6 - distr6 1.1.0

Major Updates

• None

Minor Updates

Added Functions and Classes

• Empirical distribution for distributions arising from observed samples (e.g. from MC sampling methods)
• simulateEmpiricalDistribution: function for sampling without replacement from an Empirical distribution

Deprecated Functions

• ArrayDistribution - This wrapper is now merged with ProductDistribution by adding two new parameters to ProductDistribution that allow for construction either by a distribution list of by naming a distribution and providing a parameter list or data.table

Updated Functions

• Added quantile to Categorical distribution and updated its cdf efficiency
• cdf of discrete distributions evaluated between integers are now evaluated after rounding down and do not return 0, e.g. Binomial$new()$cdf(1.8) == Binomial$new()$cdf(1)
• Added two additional parameters to ProductDistribution: params and distribution, so that it can either function as before or as the ArrayDistribution wrapper which is now deprecated.
• Added two additional parameters to VectorDistribution: params and distribution, so that it can either function as before or as a generalisation to the ArrayDistribution wrapper which is now deprecated.
• Removed automated rounding of numerics when ParameterSet expected integer in setParameterValue
• Added parameter n to strprint and print to clean the print method for distributions (especially wrappers) with multiple parameters
• Added optional vectordist argument to MixtureDistribution for better compatibility with VectorDistribution
• Changed short_name of Uniform, Logistic, Normal, and Triangular kernels to remove Kern. The ClassNames (and thus constructors) remain the same
• listKernels and listSpecialSet now return data.tables with stringsAsFactors = FALSE
• Degenerate distribution re-classified as discrete

Patches

• Bug fix in quantile function of huberization wrapper
• Fixed the rand return of a Vector Distribution (transposed data.table and added column names)
• Fixed spelling mistakes in extension guidelines and removed calls to redundant parameters
• Removed redundant crayon dependency
• Fixed bug in MixtureDistribution that was causing rand to erroneously return integers
• Removed error in Categorical documentation
