rvec 1.0.2
covr
- Results from coverage tests not being uploaded to covr site,
so updating yaml.
rvec 1.0.1 (2026-02-15)
Reducing minimum R version
- The minimum R version has been reduced from 4.3.0 to 4.2.0. However,
it does not appear to be possible to safely implement matrix
multiplication without
matrixOps, which was introduced in 4.3.0.
Methods for matrix multiplication are therefore only implemented if
R >= 4.3.0.
rvec 1.0.0 (2025-12-10)
Change to lifecycle status
- Interface is now sufficiently stable that the "experimental"
lifecycle badge has been removed.
Changes to interface
- Added functions
draws_sd(), draws_var(), draws_cv() for
summarising across draws. (#37)
- Added function
pool_draws(), for combining draws across
categories. (#35)
- Added functions
new_rvec_chr(), new_rvec_dbl(),
new_rvec_int(), and new_rvec_lgl(). Deprecated function
new_rvec(). The new functions initialise a vector with 0, "", or
FALSE, while new_rvec() initialised it with NA, which was
awkward. (#36)
- Added quotation marks to printed rvec_chr objects.
- Added
%*% method for Matrix::Matrix objects. (#31)
Documentation
- Removed warning about r* functions returning doubles. (#28)
rvec 0.0.8 (2025-07-13)
Changes to interface
- Added function
prob(), a version of draws_mean() that works only
with logical rvecs. (#27)
rvec() and rvec_dbl() now accept sparse matrices (inheriting
from "Matrix"), in addition to dense matrices. (#25)
- Function
rbinom_rvec(), rgeom_rvec(), rhyper_rvec(),
rmultinom_rvec(), rnbinom_rvec(), and rpois_rvec() now always
return doubles, even when the counts are small. The standard R
approach of giving integers when counts are small and doubles when
counts are large was generating Valgrind errors in dependent
packages.
rvec 0.0.7 (2024-09-15)
Changes to interface
- Removed
is.numeric methods for rvecs. These had been creating
problems with functions from non-rvec packages, since is.numeric
generally implies that an object is a base R style numeric vector.
- Removed space from around
= when printing rvec_lgl, so that, for
instance, p = 0.5 becomes p=0.5.
rvec(), rvec_chr(), rvec_dbl(), rvec_int(), and
rvec_lgl() now accept rvec arguments.
draws_ci() now accepts width arguments with length greater than
1.
- Improved error messages from distribution functions.
New functions
- Added function
new_rvec(), which creates rvecs with specified
values for type, length, and n_draw, consisting entirely of NAs.
- Added function
extract_draw(), which extracts a single
draw from an rvec.
rvec 0.0.6 (2023-11-08)
Documentation
- Fixed typo in DESCRIPTION
- Added 'value' section to documentation for "missing"
- Added examples to documentation for "missing"
Interface
- Changed
anyNA() so it returns an rvec,
rather than a logical scalar.
rvec 0.0.5
Features
- added default case to n_draw
Documentation
- sundry tidying of help files
rvec 0.0.4
Documentation
- Export generices for sd, var, rank, and add documentation
Internals
- Change argument names for matrixOps to 'x' and 'y'
rvec 0.0.3
Documentation
- Split help for distributions into multiple files
- Revise vignette
Features
- added 'by' argument to collapse_to_rvec
- added summary method
- added 'rank', 'order', 'sort'
rvec 0.0.2
Bug fix
- Added
drop = FALSE argument to calls to matrixStats::rowQuantiles()
rvec 0.0.1
Minor feature added
- Added method for
is.numeric(). (Can't add methods for
is.character(), is.double(), is.integer(), is.logical(),
since these are non-generic primitives.
