INLAcircular 1.0.0 (2026-10-28)
Initial CRAN release
- Shows the installed version, automatic build date, and user-guide links
when the package is attached.
- Preserves missing values in circular CDFs without reading outside the
interpolation grid.
- Supports a vector sample-size argument in rvm() and rlavm() by using its
length, as documented.
- Limits regular INLA fitting tests to two threads and keeps developer-only
manual scripts and duplicate datasets out of the CRAN source archive.
- Records method citations and the attribution and reuse notices for the
Acklam approximation and INLA interface declarations.
- Provides von Mises and link-adjusted von Mises d/p/q/r functions.
- Provides compiled cardioid and wrapped Cauchy densities.
- Provides a modified Bessel I implementation adapted from GSL 2.8, without
requiring a system GSL installation. The package is distributed under GPL
version 3 or later; upstream notices and the earlier MIT permission notice
for original material are retained.
- Provides d/p/q/r PC priors for von Mises, cardioid, and wrapped Cauchy
concentration parameters.
- Provides direct R-INLA and
inlacc() interfaces for LAvM and joint models.
- Makes response-predictor copying automatic in
covariate(response) while
retaining explicit predictor = TRUE and observed-value
predictor = FALSE modes.
- Provides optional graphpcor-backed LKJ multivariate random effects.
- Adds an installed HTML vignette plus automatically knitted repository HTML
and PDF versions of the comprehensive user guide and function reference.
- Keeps INLA optional at installation time, requires INLA >= 25.08.21 only
for model fitting, and gives actionable install/upgrade instructions when
that support is unavailable or incompatible.
- Tests the native mathematical constants and likelihood code with both GCC
and Clang as part of the cross-platform release workflow.
