Changes in version 2021-04                       

  - Added DBI to suggests.

                       Changes in version 2019-11                       

  - Added a new method ("BSLmisspec") in the main function "bsl", which
    considers model misspecification when running BSL.
  - Added an option "whitening" in the main function "bsl", which allows
    greater shrinkage when using the Warton's shrinkage estimator.
  - Re-designed S4 classes "BSL", "MODEL", and "PENALTY". More methods
    are supported in the classes.
  - The package now uses a progress bar to track running progress in the
    "bsl" function (verbose = 1L).
  - Other minor changes and bug fixes.

                     Changes in version 2019-07-01                      

  - Added a new method ("uBSL") in the main function "bsl".
  - Two shrinkage methods ("glasso" and "Warton") are available now for
    methods "BSL" and "semiBSL".
  - A new S4 object class "BSLMODEL" is introduced to encapsulate the
    simulation function, summary statistic function, a point estimate of
    the parameter value and other arguments that are related to the
    model of interest.
  - "BSLMODEL" now uses log of the prior function for numerical
    stability.
  - "BSLMODEL" supports vectorised simulation function ("fnSimVec") that
    produces n model simulations simultaneously.
  - A number of arguments ("fnSim", "fnSum", "theta0", "fnPrior",
    "simArgs", "sumArgs" and "thetaNAmes") are replaced by "model" and
    will be deprecated in a future release.
  - Added a function "gaussianRankCorr" that computes the Gaussian rank
    correlation matrix.
  - It is now possible to use Gaussian rank correlation (GRC = TRUE) in
    the "BSL" method for more robustness.
  - Other minor changes.

                 Changes in version 3.2.0 (2020-11-22)                  

                 Changes in version 2.0.0 (2019-01-16)                  

  - Second major release. Please note some arguments have been renamed.
  - Added a new method ("semiBSL") in the main function "bsl".
  - Now bsl returns an S4 class object instead of S3. The plot method
    gives an option for whether ggplot2 or R graphics (the default) will
    be used.
  - The simulation function and summary statistics function do not need
    to have a list as the second argument now.
  - The new bsl function uses "parallelArgs" instead of
    "parallel_packages", where users can specify all arguments supported
    by "foreach".
  - Code update for three examples: MA(2), multivariate G & K, and cell
    biology.

                        Changes in version 0.1.0                        

  - Initial release
  - Includes BSL and BSLasso
  - Data and code for three examples: MA(2), multivariate G & K, and
    cell biology
