The fourth minor release of the {epiparameter} focuses on splitting the code and data, with the data being moved into a separate R package: {epiparameterDB}. There are also some minor additional improvements focusing on printing and plotting.
New features
- The library of epidemiological parameters (
parameters.json) has been removed from the {epiparameter} package and moved to the {epiparameterDB} R package which is taken on as a dependency. The {epiparameter} package is licensed solely as MIT with dual licensing with CC0 removed (#415). - The data dictionary (
data_dictionary.json) and JSON validation workflow (validate-json.yaml) have been removed from the package (#415). - The library of epidemiological parameters is cached (using {cachem}) on loading the package to reduce the runtime of
epiparameter_db()(#417). - The
print()andformat()methods for the<epiparameter>class have been improved to show the units of parameter estimates, as well as summary statistics, if available, for unparameterised<epiparameter>objects (#419). on.exit()is no longer called in plotting functions to allow user-specified graphical parameters to not be overwritten (#420).- A
plot()method for the<multi_epiparameter>class is added. This enables a list of<epiparameter>objects with continuous distributions to be compared on a single plot (#425). - A
lines()method for the<epiparameter>class is added (#425).
Breaking changes
- None
Bug fixes
- A bug in
is_continuous()causing it to incorrectly returningFALSEfor<epiparameter>objects with normal distributions is fixed (#422).
