Changes in metaplus version 0.7-8

  o updated citation to reflect publication in R Journal

  o updated vignette

Changes in metaplus version 0.7-7

  o improved fitting for mixture models

  o changed ordering of study labels for outlier probability plot to match ordering of forest plot

  o added digits to parameters passed through from plot to summary lines

Changes in metaplus version 0.7-6

  o added profile improvement introduced in 0.7-5 for normal models

  o added option to perform  integration in the t-distribution models using adaptive Gauss-Hermite quadrature to improve accuracy with studies with small standard errors

  o correctly name CDP studies

  o documentation enhancements

Changes in metaplus version 0.7-5

  o added data parameter to metaplus to indicate where data is, and changed all examples and documentation to use this

  o added a print method for metaplus objects which prints summary

  o documentation changes

  o renamed outlier.probs to outlierProbs and test.outliers to testOutliers to align with standard R naming conventions

  o added further improvements to handing of tau^2 close to zero

  o if new maxima is found during profiling then update solution (in practice this usually means that the likelihood is almost flat and very messy)

  o add check for multimodal profile likelhood and give warning

  o return profile so that this can be further examined 

Changes in metaplus version 0.7-4

  o added even more imports

Changes in metaplus version 0.7-3

  o fixed occasional problems when tau^2 is zero for all distributions

  o if likelihood is mis-shapen and CI plot requested then give a warning rather than fail

  o check for inadequate number of studies and stop, or warn if only just adequate

  o add cehck for appropriate model when calculating outlier probabilities

  o add additional imports in NAMESPACE to pass R CMMD check

Changes in metaplus version 0.7-2

  o fixed bug with fitting t-distribution when tau^2 was zero

  o update documentation

Changes in metaplus version 0.7-1

  o fixed bug related to singularity of Hessian

  o when better solution found when profiling then use this fitted model  

Changes in metaplus version 0.7-0

  o improved convergence by using Nelder-Mead if nlminb failed

  o used modified bbmle to fix bugs - changes will eventually be incorporated into bbmle 

Changes in metaplus version 0.6-1

  o improve profiling of t-distribution models by using multiple starting values

  o fix problem when vinv=0 correctly

  o fix documentation errors

  o include examples vignette

Changes in metaplus version 0.6-0

  o initial release
