vecmatch 1.3.0

vecmatch 1.3.0

Major changes

• Refactored and unified the S3 class system across the package, and added helper methods for inspecting the internal structure of vecmatch objects.
• Added get_select_params() and run_selected_matching() to streamline the re-estimation step after the main optimization workflow.
• Reduced and cleaned up package dependencies in DESCRIPTION, and improved how suggested packages are handled in the code.

Minor changes and bug fixes

• Fixed a bug in raincloud(), where facet labels were reversed when using facet.
• Removed backend handling from optimize_gps(). The parallel backend must now be registered outside the function.
• Updated the optimization vignette to use run_selected_matching().
• Corrected a typo in the cancer dataset.
• Added examples for all exported functions and wrapped long-running examples in \donttest{}.
• Updated badges in the README.
• Added automated tests to check reproducibility of results.

vecmatch 1.2.0

Major changes

• Added optimize_gps(), make_opt_args(), and select_opt() to support a new GPS‐optimization workflow.
• Modified csregion() so the GPS can be reestimated after dropping observations.

Minor changes

• Fixed factor handling in raincloud() and mosaic(), now allowing custom facet ordering via releveling.
• Added SMD and p-value labels to raincloud().
• Updated the raincloud() legend to show group names with their observation counts.

vecmatch 1.1.0

Major changes

• csregion() now allows specifying how to handle observations at the borders of the Common Support Region (CSR) using the new borders argument.
• match_gps() has been updated to support datasets with only two unique treatment groups.

Minor changes

• Added a vignette demonstrating usage and functionality.
• Introduced this NEWS.md file to document package changes.
