Bug Fixes
- Migrated
.stan models to the new Stan array[...] syntax to resolve compiler parsing errors on R-devel and platforms running stanc3 compilers.
- Increased minimum dependency requirements for
rstan and StanHeaders to >= 2.26.0.
- For GLM Mixture adjustment, updated the safe matches logic for standard errors and use hgamma_eval$fun in w_beta_sigma_hess computation for Gaussian family.
- Update the match.prob return value to be based on pcur instead of hs.
Documentation
- Update the formatting of references in README.

New Features
- Updated the
priors argument for the Bayesian Mixture functions (adjMixBayes(), glmMixBayes(), survregMixBayes()) so that intercept priors and slope coefficient priors are now decoupled.
Design & S3 Methods
- Refactored S3 class assignment system to remove false inheritance from base
glm, lm, and coxph classes. Fitted objects now use dedicated package-level classes (e.g., plmodel, plglm, plcoxph).
- Added standard generic extractors (i.e.,
coef(), vcov(), confint(), df.residual()) for compatibility with tools like lmtest::coeftest().
- Added custom methods to indicate unsupported standard likelihood and residual-based generics (e.g.,
logLik(), profile(), anova(), extractAIC(), cooks.distance(), rstudent()).
- Consolidated shared printing behaviors for adjustment objects (
adjELE, adjMixture, adjMixBayes) using a unified base print.adjustment() method via NextMethod(), reducing code duplication.
- Added an error message to clarify that the
gaussian family in glmMixture is intended to be used only with the identity link for now.
Documentation & Testing
- Standardized all Roxygen manual page titles to Title Case. Implemented a GitHub Actions workflow (
format-titles.yml) for documentation styling in continuous integration.
- Removed
VignetteBuilder: knitr from the DESCRIPTION file to resolve a CRAN NOTE, as the extended package articles are hosted only via pkgdown for now.
- Updated the
testthat suite to align with the newly refactored S3 class structures and console outputs.
postlink 0.1.0 (2026-04-15)
- Initial CRAN release.
- Implements a suite of statistical tools (weighting or mixture modeling) for secondary analysis of linked data accounting for mismatch errors.
- Added support for adjusting generalized linear models, Cox proportional hazards models, parametric survival modeling, and contingency tables.
