jlmerclusterperm 1.1.4.9000

• New dataset vwp_sim: a simulated visual world eyetracking experiment with known main and interaction effects, now used in the README.

• Better detection of Julia executable

• julia_setup_ok() no longer starts a Julia session. JuliaConnectoR::juliaSetupOk() starts one as of JuliaConnectoR 1.1.6, which left connections open in examples.

• clusterpermute() is faster because the permuted timewise statistics now stay in Julia, and only the null cluster-mass distribution is returned to R. Results are identical to the piecemeal workflow.

• Faster permutation of predictors (up to ~2x faster clusterpermute() for GLMs). Results are identical to previous versions under the same RNG state.

• permute_by_predictor() and permute_timewise_statistics() give an informative error when a predictor is not constant within the units being shuffled (participants, or trials within participants).

• Fixed the predictors argument of permute_timewise_statistics() and clusterpermute(), which previously always errored.

• extract_null_cluster_dists() no longer drops simulations whose statistics mix Inf and -Inf.

• Cluster data frames now have a consistent column order (cluster_id, cluster_start, cluster_end, statistic) regardless of whether the first predictor or simulation contains a cluster.

• Fixed crash in mixed-effects models when the response is constant at a time point.

• Fixed cluster-mass statistics being returned as a list when a cluster spans a time point with a constant response.

jlmerclusterperm 1.1.4 (2024-06-30)

• Imports {JuliaFormulae} package for parsing R formula into Julia formula

jlmerclusterperm 1.1.3 (2024-03-04)

No user-visible changes

Fixes for CRAN:

• Stricter specification of package versions in Project.toml to avoid version conflicts.

jlmerclusterperm 1.1.2 (2024-02-17)

• jlmerclusterperm() exposes a cache_dir argument for manually specifying the cache directory. This was added largely for the convenience of testing. The default value of cache_dir = NULL preserves old behavior.

Fixes for CRAN:

• Write cache to tempdir() for the purposes of running examples and tests.

jlmerclusterperm 1.1.1 (2024-02-08)

• More informative warnings when constructing a spec object

• Fixed minor bugs when interfacing with Julia

• Fixed bug with reporting convergence warnings when only one is encountered

jlmerclusterperm 1.1.0 (2023-10-07)

Minor breaking change:

• Slightly loosened the default convergence criterion for permute_timewise_statistics()

Fixes for CRAN:

• Specified importing R_user_dir() from {backports} which was missing previously

jlmerclusterperm 1.0.6 (2023-09-19)

• Fixed bug where add1 argument to walk_threshold_steps() was not being passed down properly

• R < 4.0 falls back to using {backports} for R_user_dir()

Fixes for CRAN:

• Downgrade DataFrames.jl dependency to 1.3 to avoid a mysterious pre-compilation failure on CRAN windows checks

jlmerclusterperm 1.0.5 (2023-09-10)

No user-visible changes

Fixes for CRAN:

• Ensure minimum version requirements for Tables.jl and DataAPI.jl are met

jlmerclusterperm 1.0.4 (2023-09-06)

No user-visible changes

• Restructured internal Julia code into a module (JlmerClusterPerm.jl)

• Upon activating project, Manifest.toml is cached to tools::R_user_dir() to speed up pre-compilation.

jlmerclusterperm 1.0.3 (2023-07-19)

Fixes for CRAN:

• Use string for package version comparison

jlmerclusterperm 1.0.2 (2023-07-15)

Bug fixes

• jlmerclusterperm_setup() now works for rc and alpha builds of Julia

Fixes for CRAN:

• The exclusion of Manifest.toml is now specified in .Rbuildignore - only Project.toml is bundled as intended.

jlmerclusterperm 1.0.1 (2023-07-02)

jlmerclusterperm_setup() now exits early if Julia version requirement (>=1.8) is not met.

Fixes for CRAN:

• Check Julia version requirement before proceeding to examples and tests

jlmerclusterperm 1.0.0 (2023-06-27)

Breaking changes

• The threshold_steps argument of walk_threshold_steps() is renamed to steps.

New features

• New functions to interface with Julia RNG seed: get_rng_seed() and set_rng_seed()

Other improvements

• jlmerclusterperm_setup() now echos Pkg.instantiate() to print precompilation information upon the first setup call

jlmerclusterperm 0.2.0

Added vignettes. Significant usability improvements

jlmerclusterperm 0.1.0

Initial release
