A number of fixes and corrections to package documentation.
Default proposals for Binomial, Poisson, Geometric, and also DiscUnif now implement the full DyadGen API for arbitrary dyad-level constraint combinations and TNT proposal weighting.
Vignette's run time is now more predictable.
Miscellaneous documentation fixes.
Term and termalike documentation has been ported to the new documentation system.
Package tests now use testthat.
Proposals Poisson, PoissonTNT, PoissonNonObserved, Geometric, GeometricTNT, Binomial, and BinomialTNT have been removed in favour of the more universal Disc and DiscTNT for random and TNT weights.
A vignette demonstrating the package's functionality has been added.
Package now uses the ergm 4.0 term API, which should result in a nontrivial speedup.
Package has been ported to the ergm 3.10 API changes.
Package now Imports statnet.common rather than depending on it.
Package now works when loaded but not attached.
Test that was failing with ergm
3.6.0 has been fixed.
ergm.count now makes use of contrastive divergence in
ergm to obtain starting values for
the MCMLE.
Poisson-reference ERGMs now have TNT-style proposal, optimized for sparse networks.
The CMP term now adds, rather than subtracts
\sum_{(i,j)}\log(y_{i,j}!), whereas 3.1.1 and prior versions
did the opposite. This means that higher
\theta_{\text{CMP}} represents overdispersion and lower
\theta_{\text{CMP}} represents underdispersion.
E-mail address and affiliation of the maintainer have been updated.
Although this is an initial release, it is depends very heavily on
the ergm package version 3.1, and it is
thus numbered 3.1.
A number of reference measures for count data have been
implemented. See ? 'ergm.count-package' and ? 'ergm-references' for help.
