Build 2011-05-04

##Changes

• Changed behavior of pmp.bma()

New features:

• bms() now can hold a set of fixed regressors (argument fixed.reg)
• New post-processing functions functions pred.density(), plot.pred.density(), print.pred.density(), predict.bma(), predict.zlm()
• New functions quantile.density(), quantile.pred.density(), quantile.coef.density()
• New function pmpmodel()
• New post-processing functions post.var() and post.pr2()
• New S3 additionms model.frame.bma(), model.frame.zlm(), deviance.bma(), deviance.zlm(), variable.names.bma(), variable.names.zlm(), logLik.zlm(), vcov.zlm()
• bms can now accommodate user-defined coefficient (g) and model-priors, as well as samplers

Bug fixes:

• bms(): * bug with accept.candi = NA fixed
  * problems with environment in non-standard settings fixed (in internal function .construct.arglist) * mprior =="custompip" is now working properly (fixed in internal function .mprior.pip.init) * fixed problem with sys.call in non-standard calling environments

• plotComp(): * also works for single bma object now * fixed display when variable names are too long, fixed many problems with graphical parameters - completely redone

• topmod(): * bug when likelihood==-Inf, fixed (in internal function .top10) * initializing with bbeta==FALSE now works properly (fixed in .top10)

• density.bma(): bug with par and plot.new fixed when argument addons contains "p"

• image.bma(): fixed display problems when variable names too long

• plotConv() (resp. plot.bma): fixed warning 'In min(x) : no non-missing arguments to min; returning Inf'

• plotModelsize(): * bugfixes for parameter ksubset and graphical parameters * can now cope with case when model prior is not available

Changes to internal objects:

• New classes: gprior, mprior, pred.density, implicit class coef.density
• Streamlining and customizability of gprior required changes to following functions: bms(), zlm(), .choose.gprior, gdensity, .topmod.as.bbetaT New functions gprior.constantg.init, gprior.eblocal.init and .gprior.hyperg.init now provide for generic handling of g-priors Old functions lprob.*.init are still available for compatibility
• Streamlining and customizability of mprior required changes to following functions: .choose.mprior, and all .mprior.*.init functions
• Streamlining and customizability of sampling functions led to streamlining of: .iterenum, .fls.samp, .rev.jump, .enum_startend
• Introduction of bms argument fixed.reg is handled generically by functions
  .fixedset.mprior, .fixedset.sampler, .starter, .choose.mprior, bms
• Speeding-up of syntax (replacing $ with [[, directly calling internal functions) yields 5% speed gain in bms vs version 0.2.5
• .construct.arglist has been vastly changed
