miscTools 0.6-28 (2023-05-03)

• added function histDens()

miscTools 0.6-26 (2019-12-08)

• internal improvements to make the miscTools package compatible with R 4.0.0

miscTools 0.6-24 (2019-10-11)

• added function summarizeDF()
• significantly reduced the computation time of isSemidefinite.matrix( , method = "eigen" ) if the matrix is (nearly) singular
• moved function logDataSet() to package "micEcon"

miscTools 0.6-22 (2016-11-25)

• function isSemidefinite() is a 'generic' function now, currently with methods for objects of class 'matrix' and 'list'
• isSemidefinite.matrix() now immediately returns 'FALSE' as soon as a condition for positive semidefiniteness (or for negative semidefiniteness if argument 'positive' is 'FALSE') is violated, because in this case checking further conditions is irrelevant
• isSemidefinite.matrix(): the default method for checking semidefiniteness of matrices with 13 or more rows/coulmns is "eigen" instead of "det" now, because method "det" can be very slow for larger matrices

miscTools 0.6-20 (2016-11-20)

• improved function semidefiniteness() and its documentation
• added function isSemidefinite(), which is currently just an additional (identical) user interface to semidefiniteness(), but which may replace semidefiniteness() in the (not so near) future

miscTools 0.6-16 (2013-03-13)

• fixed bugs in insertCol() and insertRwo() that occurred when inserting a column to a single-row matrix or inserting a row to a single-column matrix (bug reported and solution provided by Max Gordon -- Thanks a lot!)

miscTools 0.6-14 (2012-12-26)

• corrected bug in compPlot(): the 45-degree-line was not always drawn if the axes had logarithmic scales
• compPlot() now uses informative labels of the axes by labelling the axes with the expressions that are used for specifying the objects in the call (before, the axes were always labelled by "x" and "y", respectively)

miscTools 0.6-12 (2011-11-13)

• added generic function margEff()

miscTools 0.6-10 (2010-10-15)

• stdEr.default() now checks for x$std only if x is an object of S3 class

miscTools 0.6-8

• moved generic function stdEr() including a default method and a method for objects of class "lm" from the "maxLik" package to this package

miscTools 0.6-6 (2010-08-12)

• added generic functions nObs() and nParam() including the "default" methods and methods for objects of class "lm"; these generic functions and their methods were moved from the "maxLik" package to this package
• added function ddnorm(), which calculates the derivative(s) of the density function of the normal (Gaussian) distribution with respect to the quantile
• added function sumKeepAttr() that returns the sum of an array while keeping its attributes

miscTools 0.6-2 (2010-03-15)

• added function "logDataSet", which was formerly part of the "micEcon" package, where it had the name ".micEconLogData"
• function "colMedians" can return the medians of each non-row of an *array* now
