2.4-5 A workaround for the overridden as.mcmc() generic has been added. All examples lines are now shorter than 100 characters. 2.4-4 The implementation of Procrustes analysis has been reworked in two ways: 1) latentnet no longer depends on the shapes library; and 2) the C implementation of procrustes no longer uses the (deprecated) EISPACK, replacing it with LAPACK. Commonly used non-statistical functions have been extracted into a new package, statnet.common, on which latentnet depends. All contributors (as opposed to only the major ones) are now listed in the DESCRIPTION file. 3D plots can now draw segments (for undirected graphs) and arrows (for directed graphs, with package heplots) between vertices. More examples and tests have been made conditional on environment variable ENABLE_statnet_TESTS being set. 2.4-3 In order to make upgrading from the preview release automatic, this version number has been skipped. 2.4-2 Latentnet is now compliant with R 2.15.0. Latentnet no longer relies on a certain behavior of .C() that was changed in the development version of R. Many small updates, robustifications, and bug fixes have been made. In particular, crashes and weird memory behavior with recent versions of R and GCC have been fixed. Author and maintainer e-mail addresses and affiliations have been updated. License specification has been clarified. Latentnet now prints a warning when a matrix is passed on the LHS of the model formula instead of a network. Calculation of geodesic distances has been "outsourced" to the sna package, which is now a dependency. Fewer functions are unnecessarily masked. Documentation has been cleaned up and updated. Examples and tests have been shortened, speeding up R CMD check. 2.4-1 Latentnet now prints a warning when computing BICs for random effects models, since we do not have a theoretical justification for that. A bug reported by Jorge González in the multithreaded code has been fixed. 2.4-0 Removed the dependence on package 'mclust'. (The functionality used has been reimplemented internally.) This means that commercial use of the latent position clustering functionality is now possible without the UW license. The reimplementation requires 'mvtnorm' as a dependency. Fixed a number of bugs reported by Soriani Nicola. Modified the proposal tuner to propose those variables with high autocorrelation more aggressively (at the expense of the others). This should vastly improve mixing for complex models. Package 'coda' is now a dependency rather than a suggested package. Made the require()s for the suggested packages more informative. 2.3-0 Added an ability to fit bilinear latent space models of Hoff (2005). Bug fixes, including one reported by Soriani Nicola. Documentation fixes. 2.2-3 Fixed a bug in handling of missing data, uncovered by Xiaoyue "Maggie" Niu, and added a test for it. Documentation fixes. 2.2-2 More documentation fixes. 2.2-1 Documentation fixes. 2.2-0 Ability to fit random effects (actor heterogeneity) models. Removed ergmm.par class --- it has been rendered obsolete by changes in R's handling of partial matching in [[ operator. Many bug fixes and miscellaneous changes.
