Updated documentation across all function files, datasets, and
README.md.
Updated package metadata, inst/CITATION, and
academic references (DESCRIPTION, .Rd files,
and inst/REFERENCES.bib).
Standardised canonical CRAN URLs and DOI links across documentation.
Updated all package functions to remove redundant code lines and add a selection of test functions.
Added new unit tests (testthat) covering all key
package functions.
Updated the version of the package in the
DESCRIPTION file to 1.6.3.
Creation of the new S3 method function postsum to
extract and display posterior summaries about model parameters filtered
based on some optional arguments.
Update of the print.missingHE function to return
more standardised output about model coefficient estimates following
usual practice for print functions in
R.
Code for some functions slightly updated to remove specification of deprecated arguments no longer valid in the most recent versions of some dependence packages’ functions.
Update of the output generated using the print
function.
The package vignettes have been updated.
Updated the version of the package in the
DESCRIPTION file to 1.6.2.
1 June 2026
Bug fixes that prevented the correct implementation of the models depending on specific combination of distributional assumptions.
Code for some functions slightly updated to ensure coherence among prior values assumed across different model specifications.
Update of some default prior values to cover a less broad range of values.
The package vignettes have been updated.
Updated the version of the package in the
DESCRIPTION file to 1.6.1.
19 March 2026
A few package functions have been updated to allow specification of models for multiple treatment arm trials and produce output which allows a higher degree of customisation, such as generating graphical and numeric results by treatment, time point and for different types of estimates of interest.
Key functions that were updated include: selection,
pattern, hurdle and lmdm
(previously called long_miss).
Code for many functions dedicated to the fitting of models and extracting model results has been updated and more efficient.
Key functions that were updated include: ppc,
pic, plot.missingHE,
coef.missingHE and summary.missingHE
New customisation options have been incorporated into the package functions to allow a wider choice in terms of output generation and display.
The package vignettes have been updated and extended to provide a more general and detailed presentation of the main package functions using the built-in data sets as motivating cases.
The package built-in data sets (MenSS.RData and
PBS.RData) have been updated to align variable names and
types to match the requirements of the inputs accepted by the updated
functions.
Function used to fit longitudinal model has been removed and
replaced with a new one (lmdm) to provide higher degree of
flexibility and more customisation options for the user when fitting the
model, including assumptions about time dependence, missingness patterns
and specification of priors.
Available choices in terms of prior distribution customisation and modification have been increased for all models through a more intuitive approach to prior specification with examples provided in the package vignettes.
New types of posterior predictive checks (ppc),
information criteria (pic), imputed data graphs
(plot.missingHE) and diagnostics (diagnostic)
have been added to the pool of available choices in the corresponding
functions.
The generation of the quantities/graphs has been updated through new function arguments and customised based on the type of model fitted.
Updated the version of the package in the
DESCRIPTION file to 1.6.0.
