isocir 2.0-6 (2016-12-09)

• Update some functions, particularly the C code.

isocir 2.0-5

• Rewrite some parts of ACO function to improve its efficiency.

isocir 2.0-3

• CLM obtains the Circular Local Maximization of the circular Kendall Tau (control.method="cirktau")

isocir 2.0-2

• TSP with alpha1 doesnt check the contrary circular order any more.

isocir 2.0-1

• Fix some bugs (sce).
• Add some methods of aggregation of circular orders for the Hodge technique.

isocir 2.0

• A full revision of the package, fixing some bugs and renaming some functions to be more logical.

isocir 1.9-9

• Help files (.Rd) updated.

isocir 1.9-8

• Function eq.test: the confidence coefficient is calculated inside the function and there is a new output file called frequencydist.csv.

isocir 1.9-7

• Function ACO and eq.test: increase the number of times heuristics are used in order to get a better approximation of estimators.

isocir 1.9-6

• Function eq.test: more changes to obtained the distribution under the null in a more logical way.

isocir 1.9-5

• Function eq.test: Some bugs solved and other improvements.

isocir 1.9-4

• Function eq.test: Values of statistic added to the output.

isocir 1.9-3

• Names changed:
• cirsce --> msce
• cirktau --> mcirktau
• Bug solved in CLM in case of missing values.

isocir 1.9-2

• General improvements in the code and in the help files.

isocir 1.9-1

• ACO function:
• Circular Borda positions is improved.
• TSP approach for alpha=1 is improved.
• New options of distance are added to Hodge approach.

isocir 1.9

• FOCO function is changed to ACO function and a considerable improvement of the code is done.

isocir 1.8

• Function CIRE:
• relaxing condition 5 of PAVA circular to allow equalities in both sides.
• no argument new, just the new implementation with C.
• 0 and 2pi data are allowed in CIRE with circular restriction.

isocir 1.7

• Function CIRE
• adding argument new to be able to choose between the old implementation in R or the new with C.

isocir 1.6

• In the function FOCO the code has some changes as consequence of the implementation of some improvements in the methodology (the distances when the argument time is used with TSP).

isocir 1.5

• Missing values are now taken into account correctly in the next functions:
• cirsce
• FOCO
• CLM
• Some little bugs corrected:
• cond.test function (when SCE=0)
• FOCO function (when TSP heuristics have one only solution)
• CLM function (when circular PAVA must or not be used).

isocir 1.4

• A great change in the algorithm which calculates the CIRE in C code in order to be even more computationally eficient and fast.

isocir 1.3

• A new method of fusion of circular order has been implemented and added to: FOCO, CLM.
• Now, all the methodology is computationally eficient.

isocir 1.2

• Some new functions have been incorporated:
• FOCO
• CLM
• cirKendall
• cirktau
• cirsce
• naiveSCE
• These functions have the implementation of different methodologies to fuse circular orders.

isocir 1.1-4

• cond.test and mrl can now deal properly with missing data.
• Some bugs are solved in CIRE function.

isocir 1.1-3 (2014-02-27)

• CIRE can deal with missing values in the data. There is also an improvement in its control of arguments.

isocir 1.1-2 (2013-08-18)

• An improvement in the C code that is part of the function CIRE

isocir 1.1-1 (2012-10-03)

• Some specific changes that make the package more user-friendly.

isocir 1.1 (2012-04-16)

• Removed the functions cirmean, cirkappa since analogous functions are available in an existing package circular.
• Rewrited all the remaining functions to improve their speed.
• Renamed most of the functions for clarity as follows:
• CIREi now is CIRE
• CTi now is cond.test
• cirSCE now is sce
• plotcircularm now is plot.isocir
• Changed the names of two arguments of former CIREi function:
• from isotropic to circular
• from levels to groups.
• Changed the name of the argument of former CTi function from levels to groups.
• Added isocir/src/funCIRE.C in order to improve the speed of CIRE.
• Created the S3 class isocir and the methods: isocir, is.isocir, print.isocir and plot.isocir, related to this class.
• Generated again the random data set with replications that is called datareplic.

isocir 1.0 (2011-04-27)

• Released the Version 1.0 in the CRAN.
