0.5.1

Patches to 0.5.0 to pass checks with R 4.0.2.

0.5.0

New functions

• new function merge_projections permits to join different sets of
  simulations, adapting the respective time windows accordingly

• new function merge_add_projections permits to add simulated case incidence
  from different sets of simulations, adapting the respective time windows
  accordingly; if objects contain different numbers of simulations, the shortest
  ones are recycled as needed; also implemented as the operator +

• new function summary will summarise projections objects by day, using a
  range of pre-defined statistics (mean, sd, min, max, and user-defined
  quantiles)

Fixes and improvements

• bug fix for the use of time-varying R in project

• bug fix for as.data.frame(..., long = TRUE)

• more consistent handling of inputs for the serial interval; if provided as a
  vector, si now starts at a delay of 1 day, rather than 0 and assuming the
  first entry is 0; for distcrete inputs, the mass for si$d(0) is now
  ignored, and the rest of the distribution is rescaled accorindly to ensure the
  PMF sums to 1

• (documentation) more realistic serial interval distribution used for the Ebola
  examples

• (internal) the force of infection is now calculated by the new internal
  function compute_force_infection

• (testing) revised sets of tests relying less on comparison to references,
  but testing for meaningful output properties instead

• (testing) 100% coverage

projections 0.3.1

This is a maintenance release to work with incidence version 1.4.1. It now imports the S3 method get_dates() from incidence.

0.3.0

projections 0.3.0

New features

This is a big release! Plenty of new features have been added, including:

• projections can now be subsetted like matrices using x[i,j], or using the
  function subset

• new function cumulate to compute cumulative incidence for projections
  objects, akin to the similar function in the incidence package

• much improved graphics; plot now call upons add_projections, which
  implements many options for plotting projections, including quantiles lines,
  ribbon, and boxplots; add_projections can also be used to add such plots to
  an existing incidence plot

• build_projections can be used to build a projections object from an input
  matrix and optional dates

First CRAN version

First release of the package!

New features

• project: a function generating projections from an existing incidence
  object, a serial interval distribution, and a set of plausible reproduction
  numbers ($R$); returns a projections object.

• plot/print: plotting and printing methods for projections objects.

• get_dates/get_incidence: accessors for projections objects.

• as.data.frame: conversion from projections objects to data.frame.
