pheindicatormethods - PHEindicatormethods v2.0.2

• Amended phe_quantile function so it will not produce quantiles when the number of small areas within a group is less than the number of quantiles requested. A warning will be generated when quantiles cannot be produced for this reason.
• removed the highergeog argument from phe_quantile function, previously soft-deprecated in v1.2.0.
• phe_sii amended to allow data to be transformed prior to calculation of the SII, and to allow the intercept value to be output.

pheindicatormethods - PHEindicatormethods v2.0.1

The calculateISRate and calculateISRatio functions have been updated so observed events can be passed as a total without age breakdowns. GitHub referencing has been amended throughout the package documentation as code repository now owned and hosted by UKHSA-collaboration not PublicHealthEngland

pheindicatormethods - PHEindicatormethods v2.0.0

phesmr and pheisr have been permanently removed following soft deprecation in summer 2022. These functions have been directly replaced by calculateISRAte and calculateISRatio respectively. The renaming was necessary due to ambiguous terminology.

Package also updated for compatability with dplyr v1.1.0 and also adds the option of NA to the confidence argument for the phe_proportion function.

pheindicatormethods - PHEindicatormethods v1.3.2

Minor updates to ensure grouping sets remain unchanged on function outputs. Making use of the new .groups argument available for the dplyr::summarise function in dplyr v1.0.0.

pheindicatormethods - PHEindicatormethods v1.1.1

The following changes may affect backwards compatibility with earlier versions of the package:

• phe_proportion: Replaced logical PERCENTAGE argument with a numeric MULTIPLIER argument to enable proportions to be expressed more flexibly (eg per 1000). Default is now multiplier = 1 which gives equivalent output to the previous default of percentage = FALSE. There is loss of backwards compatibility where the percentage argument has previously been specified in the function call - please replace 'percentage=TRUE' with 'multiplier=100' and 'percentage=FALSE' with 'multiplier=1'.

• all functions using the TYPE argument: Altered the default value for the TYPE argument from 'standard' to 'full'. This may affect backwards compatibility with earlier versions of the package - where type has not been specified output will now contain additional metadata columns - to remove these please specify type = "standard" as a function argument.

• byars_lower(), byars_upper(), wilson_lower() and wilson_upper() functions have been moved to the package utilities and are less readily available to be used as stand-alone functions within the package. These functions are intended to be called using other 'phe-' prefixed package functions.

The following changes will not affect backwards compatibility with earlier versions of the package:

• phe_life_expectancy() function added for calculation of life expectancy at different ages based on population and death data

• phe_quantile() function added for assigning data to quantiles

• phe_sii() function added for calculation of slope index of inequality and relative index of inequality

• phe_proportion() and phe_rate() functions now return aggregate data when grouped data is passed

• Altered handling of NA values in phe_proportion(), phe_rate() and phe_mean() functions to enable results to be returned for the records which do not contain invalid NAs

• Altered handling of NA values in phe_dsr() function such that NA values in the age-specific count data are assumed to be equal to zero and no longer cause the function to error

• Altered handling of NA values in phe_isr() and phe_smr() functions such that NA values in the age-specific count, age-specific population and/or reference count data are assumed to be equal to zero and no longer cause the functions to error
