# FastJM 1.6.0

* The package now supports modeling a single longitudinal outcome with heterogeneous within-subject variability via functionality adapted from the 'JMH' package.
* Add ```DynPredAccjmcs()``` to calculate all available evaluation metrics for fitted joint models. 
* Remove ```AUCjmcs()```, ```MAEQjmcs()```, ```PEjmcs()```, ```summary.AUCjmcs()```, ```summary.MAEQjmcs()```, and ```summary.PEjmcs()```.

# FastJM 1.5.3

* Fix small bug in ```survfitmvjmcs()```.


# FastJM 1.5.2

* Fix small bug in ```mvjmcs()``` to support ties in obtaining the estimator of the baseline hazards.

# FastJM 1.5.1

* Fix small bugs and add the estimates and 95% confidence interval for the error variances of multivariate joint modeling.

# FastJM 1.5.0

* Add a new function ```mvjmcs()``` to support multivariate joint modeling.


# FastJM 1.4.2

* Fix small bugs within C functions.

# FastJM 1.4.1

* Fix small bugs within ```jmcs()```.

# FastJM 1.4.0

* Add the function ```AUCjmcs()``` area under the ROC curve (AUC) to assess the prediction performance of joint models.

# FastJM 1.3.0

* Correct the implementation of dynamic prediction in ```surviftjmcs()```.
* Remove ```plot.surviftjmcs()``` due to theoretical problem.
* Provide two metrics of prediction accuracy of joint model by adding ```PEjmcs()``` and ```MAEQjmcs()```.

# FastJM 1.2.0

* Correct the implementation of dynamic prediction in ```surviftjmcs()``` for the competing risk and add ```summary()``` for providing parameter estimates and SE for both sub-models.



# FastJM 1.1.3

* Correct syntax error on ```jmcs()```.

# FastJM 1.1.2

* Correct testthat error.

# FastJM 1.1.1

* Correct testthat error.

# FastJM 1.1.0

* Provide support for handling categorical variables in both sub-models.

* Provide the ```anova()``` function to compare two fitted joint models.

* Add the ```simulate``` argument in the ```survfitjmcs()``` function to obtain the conditional probabilities using the Gauss-Hermite quadrature rule for numerical integration.

* Adjust the label position of y axis for clarity purposes when ```include.y = TRUE``` in the ```plot.survfitjmcs()``` function.

# FastJM 1.0.1

* Removed unused variables in C functions.
