MAINTENANCE
REndo 2.4.4
BUG FIXES
- Fix documentation to conform to HTML5.
 
REndo 2.4.3
BUG FIXES
- In method 
multilevelIV matrices could not be
constructed if all groups were of the same size. Thanks to pinson06 for
reporting. 
REndo 2.4.2
BUG FIXES
- In the 
copulaCorrection method with a single endogenous
regressor the correlation coefficient rho was wrongly constraint to [0,
1] instead of to [-1, 1]. Further, rho was not included in parts of the
calculations. Special thanks to Fredrik Falkenström for reporting this
observation! 
REndo 2.4.1
SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE
CHANGES
- Allow using the method 
copulaCorrection with a single
endogenous regressor 
REndo 2.4.0
SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE
CHANGES
- Add a formal assumption test for method 
hetErrorsIV to
detect weak instruments 
NEW FEATURES
- The log-likelihood function underlying 
copulaCorrection
case 1 is refactored and implemented using Rcpp and RcppEigen what makes
it considerably faster 
- Improved checks of user input that disallow any non-finite values in
the data
 
- New data was generated for 
dataHetIV 
REndo 2.3.1
- None. Version bump in order to resubmit to CRAN after package was
archived.
 
REndo 2.3.0
SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE
CHANGES
- Add support for predictions through method 
predict for
every model 
BUG FIXES
- Fix wrong calculations for the fitted values and residuals in the
enhanced OLS cases of 
copulaCorrection 
- Improved documentation
 
REndo 2.2.1
SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE
CHANGES
- To tweak the lmer model fit in 
multilevelIV to their
linking, users can supply a parameter lmer.control 
NEW FEATURES
- Warning in 
confint if there are NAs in the bootstrapped
estimates for copulaCorrection 
- Updated vignette
 
BUG FIXES
- The coefficient estimates for 
multilevelIV are more
consistent and independent of data sorting due to different standard
settings for fitting lmer 
- Bootstrapped parameter estimates for 
copualCorrection
result in fewer NAs when using L-BFGS-B as optimization method 
REndo 2.2.0
SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE
CHANGES
- The augmented OLS method in 
copulaCorrection also
bootstraps parameter estimates 
- The summary output for results from 
copulaCorrection
was adapted to reflect that standard errors are bootstrapped 
- Removed support for the S3 method 
labels because of
inconsistent behavior across methods 
NEW FEATURES
- Bootstrapping for 
copulaCorrection case 1 is now
considerably faster 
- New data was generated for 
dataMultilevelIV 
BUG FIXES
- The sigma matrix in 
latentIV is constructed as in the
paper by Ebbes et al. what improves results. Special thanks to Jordan
Henderson for investigating and pointing this out! 
- In 
latentIV, the parameter for group membership
(theta5) is now transformed back and reported
correctly. 
- The vcov matrix for 
latentIV is corrected for the
transformation in theta5. 
- The bootstrapping in 
copulaCorrection case 1 now
creates samples of the same length as the original data 
- The (percentile) confidence intervals and vcov for results from
copulaCorrection now rely on bootstraping 
REndo 2.1.0
SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE
CHANGES
- The reworked method 
multilevelIV and accompanying data
was added back to the package 
- Vignette 
REndo-introduction was added to showcase
package usage 
- Users can supply a parameter 
optimx.args to tweak the
LL optimization to their liking 
NEW FEATURES
- Method 
confint was added for methods
latentIV and copulaCorrection 
- Examples and documentation were improved for all methods
 
- New data was generated for 
dataHetIV 
- The default number of iterations for all optimizations was increased
to 100’000
 
BUG FIXES
- To avoid infrequent warnings, the parameter 
sigma used
in copulaCorrection was constrained to > 0 
- Various spelling mistakes were fixed
