Changes in version 0.1.1 (2026-11-03) - Rename the simulation time-length argument from T to TT and the internal local common-factor variable to comply with CRAN naming guidance. Statistical calculations and returned object schemas are unchanged. - Simulate grouped matrix-valued time series with heterogeneous dimensions, Gaussian or raw Student-t innovations, and optional model-component storage. - Generate piecewise ARFIMA series with stable AR(p) dynamics and shared or series-specific fractional memory. - Estimate global and local main effects and common components at supplied or automatically selected ranks, with Van Loan alignment and refitting by default and optional Procrustes alignment and ALS refitting. - Select the eight loading rank classes using unperturbed eigenvalue ratios, indexwise cross-group maxima for global spectra, and full consecutive-ratio search ranges. Check combined ranks against the IC1-centered spatial dimensions without rank repair. - Return structured model fits with print and summary methods, fitted-component reconstruction, and final residuals. - Detect global common factors and screen participating groups using a shared circular-shift bootstrap cutoff, with optional PSOCK execution and matching serial/parallel random inputs.
