Published by melff about 5 years ago

This release corresponds to the one on CRAN. Changes since last release are: - Fixed error caused by a change in 'getS3method()' introduced by R r79435: 'getS3method()' now enforces a the hitherto undocumented restriction that the 'cls' argument must have length 1. - Added 'title' metadata to Rmarkdown vignettes.

Includes some last-day fixes. Now published on CRAN.

Fix as.item() methods for "haven_labelled" objects etc.
Variance component estimates of "merMod" and "clmm" objects are reported as distinct statistics.
codebook() better handles character variables in SPSS system files.
spss.system.file() uses information in the file about the intended measurement level of the variables, however, this is optional and can be switched off.
Added new option fold.leaders= to toLatex() method for "ftable" objects
Added support for compressing output regarding control variables in mtable().

- R

Published by melff over 5 years ago

This is a bugfix release: - Fixed bug in the creation of codebooks - The deduplicate_labels() method for "data.set"-objects a bit more resilient: It does not choke if some elements of the data set are not survey items.

This version has also been published on CRAN.

memisc - 0.99.25.3

There is now an explicit as.data.set() method for objects in class "tbl_df" (so-called "tibbles").
The as.character()-method for "item" objects now has an optional include.missings= argument.
It is now possible to apply codeplan() to "item" objects, to enquire and modify labels and missing value declarations.
The as.data.frame() method for extended tables of percentages (that include confidence intervals and standard errors) now works as expected (again).

- R
Published by melff over 5 years ago

memisc -

as.item() and codebookEntry() methods are added for objects of class "labelled" as they occur in some imported tibbles.
as.item() now drops non-unique labelled values when applied to a "labelled", "havenlabelled", or "havenlabelled_spss" object.
With codebook() it is now possible to disable the display of unweighted data summaries.
In accordance to future deprecation of the function default.stringsAsFactors() the default value of the stringsAsFactor argument is now FALSE.

Published by melff over 5 years ago

memisc - 0.99.23

Added deduplicate_labels() function to deal with duplicated value labels.

- R
Published by melff almost 6 years ago

memisc - 0.99.22

This release makes the following improvements:

There are convenience wrappers such as Mean() etc. for mean() etc. that have the default setting na.rm=TRUE instead of na.rm=FALSE.
with(Groups()), withGroups(), within(Groups()), withinGroups(), Aggregate(), and genTable() are considerably faster now. They can also make use of certain automatic variables such as n_, i_ that contain group sizes and group indices.
relabel(), rename(), and dimrename(), do no longer require their arguments to be enclosed in quotation marks.

- R
Published by melff about 6 years ago

memisc - 0.99.21

This release is on its way to be published on CRAN. It fixes an issue on C link time and includes a frew improvements: - Handling of SPSS .sav files created with ReadStat or haven is improved. - Support for SPSS syntax files in non-native encoding has been added. - labels(), value.filter(), codebook() and codeplan() can now deal with NULL arguments (bei returning NULL). - Reshape() has been improved. - codebook() now works as expected with "tibble" imported with the "haven" package. - "data.set" object can now directly be converted into "data.table" objects. - The level of measurement can now be set for several variables in a data set.

- R

memisc - 0.99.20.1

This release has been published on CRAN. In comparison to release 0.99.20, it makes the following improvements: - Fixed colspan in p-value legend of html formatted model tables. - Minor fix in NEWS.Rd

- R
Published by melff about 6 years ago

memisc - 0.99.20

This release improves interoperability with RStudio, in particular with respect to viewing data objects. - An extendable function view() allows to use the View() facilities provided by graphical user interfaces (in particular RStudio) with objects not originally supported by these user interfaces. In addition, view methods for "codeplan", "decriptions", "data.set", and "inporter" are provided, which allow to conviently inspect the contents of these objects in RStudio. - The function head and tail now work with "data.set" and "importer" objects in the same sensible way as they with data frames. - The function recode behaves more coherently: If a labelled item is the result of recode it gets the measurement level "nominal". Factor levels explictly created first come first in the order of factor levels.

- R
Published by melff over 6 years ago

memisc - 0.99.19-0

This release enhances the facilities to import data and makes memisc compatible to the packages tibble and haven: - A new spss.file() function can be used to import both SPSS "portable" (with file name extension ".por") and "system" files (with file name extension ".sav"). - importer functions such as Stata.file() or spss.file() have new (optional) arguments iconv= and enconding= that allow to specify the encoding of strings in the file being importet (with some sensible defaults, such as CP1252 for older Stata files and SPSS files) - as_tibble() can be used to transform "data.set" objects into (regular) tibbles (objects of class "tbldf"), while `ashaven()can be used to transform "data.set" objects into the kind of tibbles that are produced by the package *haven*. - When a "data.set" is transformed into an ordinary data frame or a tibble, "item" objects retain their "description" annotation as "label" attribute. - Whenas.data.set()` is applied to a tibble imported via haven, the special attributes "label", "labels", "navalues", and "narange" are appropriately translated into item attributes "description", "value.labels", and "missing.values".

Stata.file() now supports importing files in recent Stata formats (dta relelease 117, 118, 119 - see https://www.stata.com/help.cgi?dta). Also loading Stata files with mismatching encoding of value labels should now work.
New functions Groups(), withGroups(), and withinGroups() provide support for data management within groups of rows of a data frame or data set.
A new function Reshape() is added that is an interface for reshape() but that has simpler syntax and returns data sorted in a more convenient ordering (i.e. measurements nested in individuals).
