Added a new method (“BSLmisspec”) in the main function “bsl”, which
considers model misspecification when running BSL.
Added an option “whitening” in the main function “bsl”, which allows
greater shrinkage when using the Warton’s shrinkage estimator.
Re-designed S4 classes “BSL”, “MODEL”, and “PENALTY”. More methods
are supported in the classes.
The package now uses a progress bar to track running progress in the
“bsl” function (verbose = 1L).
Other minor changes and bug fixes.
BSL 3.0.0 (Release date:
2019-07-01)
Added a new method (“uBSL”) in the main function “bsl”.
Two shrinkage methods (“glasso” and “Warton”) are available now for
methods “BSL” and “semiBSL”.
A new S4 object class “BSLMODEL” is introduced to encapsulate the
simulation function, summary statistic function, a point estimate of the
parameter value and other arguments that are related to the model of
interest.
“BSLMODEL” now uses log of the prior function for numerical
stability.
“BSLMODEL” supports vectorised simulation function (“fnSimVec”) that
produces n model simulations simultaneously.
A number of arguments (“fnSim”, “fnSum”, “theta0”, “fnPrior”,
“simArgs”, “sumArgs” and “thetaNAmes”) are replaced by “model” and will
be deprecated in a future release.
Added a function “gaussianRankCorr” that computes the Gaussian rank
correlation matrix.
It is now possible to use Gaussian rank correlation (GRC = TRUE) in
the “BSL” method for more robustness.
Other minor changes.
BSL 2.0.0
Second major release. Please note some arguments have been
renamed.
Added a new method (“semiBSL”) in the main function “bsl”.
Now bsl returns an S4 class object instead of S3. The plot method
gives an option for whether ggplot2 or R graphics (the default) will be
used.
The simulation function and summary statistics function do not need
to have a list as the second argument now.
The new bsl function uses “parallelArgs” instead of
“parallel_packages”, where users can specify all arguments supported by
“foreach”.
Code update for three examples: MA(2), multivariate G & K, and
cell biology.
BSL 0.1.0
Initial release
Includes BSL and BSLasso
Data and code for three examples: MA(2), multivariate G & K, and
