glimQL, and its documentation.
aod 1.1-27 (2008-08-26)
New
Changes
- Alter the functions to compute AIC and AICc to avoid redefining standard
generic functions from the stats package, after a bug report on R-Help and
suggestions by P Dalgaard and M Maechler.
- Alter functions betabin and negbin to better manage the case when the Hessian
matrix is singular.
- Many invisible changes in documentation to comply with more stringent checks
during package installation and building.

as from 2.6.0.

as from 2.6.0.
aod 1.1-22 (2007-05-23)
New
- The cloglog link was missing for quasibin models (though it was
indicated in the documentation).
aod 1.1-21 (2007-04-07)
DOCUMENTATION
- Mismatches were fixed between arguments in the code and documentation
(predict methods for objects of classes glimML and glimPQL).
aod 1.1-20 (2007-04-05)
DOCUMENTATION
- Mismatches were fixed between arguments in the code and documentation
(residuals methods for objects of classes glimML and glimPQL).
aod 1.1-19 (2007-04-01)
NEW FEATURES
- In negbin and betabin, the (default) maximum number of iterations was set
to 2000 in the call to optim. A new argument "control" was introduces in
the 2 functions and their help pages were amended.
BUGS
- A bug was corrected in the residuals method for S4 objects of class glimML
(incorrect use of the extractor function "$" instead of "@").
aod 1.1-18 (2007-01-13)
NEW FEATURES
- In negbin and betabin, display was switched to 4 digits in scientific notation.
BUGS
- No warning was issued when convergence was not obtained after optim iterations.
A slot "msg" was added to fitted objects of class "glimML" to store the message
returned by optim.
- An error occurred when model was fitted with hessian = FALSE.
DOCUMENTATION
- Documentation was changed to reflect these modifications. Some messages released
by negbin and betabin were corrected.
aod 1.1-14
BUGS
- A bug occurred when the hessian matrix was singular (overpameterized model)
in models fitted with betabin or negbin. This was fixed. A new slot "singular.hessian"
was added to fitted objects of class "glimML".
- There was a bug in the coef method for objects of class glimML when at least
one of the explanatory variable was a factor had unused levels. To overcome
this problem, new slots "fixed.param" and "random.param" were added to fitted
objects of class "glimML".
DOCUMENTATION
- Documentation was changed to reflect these modifications.
aod 1.1-13 (2006-10-15)
DOCUMENTATION
- The help page for the package (?aod) was out of date.
aod 1.1-12 (2006-10-07)
INSTALLATION
- The package "boot" is now suggested to remove a warning during package installation.
aod 1.1-11
NEW FEATURES
- The display of wald.test()'s output was slightly changed.
aod 1.1-10 (2006-05-04)
BUGS
- The code of the log-likelihood function was changed in betabin and negbin to avoid
warnings when a covariate was used to model the within-group correlation, and one of the
"random" coeffcient was set to 0 (warnings were related to the use of ifelse).
These warnings caused a very slow execution with R 2.3.0, probably because of some
changes in the functions handling warnings and errors (tryCatch, etc.).
aod 1.1-9 (2006-05-02)
NEW FEATURES
- In function splitbin(), any variable of mode character is now transformed into a factor
before data processing.
DOCUMENTATION
- New help page describing the package.
aod 1.1-8 (2005-07-20)
NEW FEATURES
- The number of observations was added as an attribute of the number
returned by "logLik".
- The corrected AIC (AICc) was added to the output of the function "AIC" and
included in the comparison statistics of the anova method for objects of
formal class "glimML".
- A new formal class "aic" was created, with a summary method to compute
Akaike difference and Akaike weights from a list of models to be compared.
- A control was added in "betabin" and "negbin" to check the presence of
lines with null weight (thanks to Jérémy Bouyer).
- The show method for objects of formal class "glimML" was slightly altered:
AICc was added to the output and a new presentation was adopted for log-
likelihood and related statistics.
DOCUMENTATION
- The documentation of functions "AIC", "anova" and "logLik" was revised to
reflect the changes in these functions.
aod 1.1-4 (2005-07-09)
BUGS
- The name of the first model was always "object" in the anova method for
objects of formal class glimML.
NEW FEATURES
- The slot "digits" was removed for objects of formal class anova.glimML.
aod 1.1-3 (2005-07-01)
DOCUMENTATION
- Minor revisions of help pages: spelling in different places and reference
change for fonction negbin.
aod 1.1-2 (2005-06-09)
