Changelog

Codename: 100% confident;
Celebrating the fourth anniversary of superb!
Corrected minor typos in documentations;
Deprecated plotStyle in favor of plotLayout;
Made “line” the default plotLayer instead of “bar”
Corrected a minor bug when performing Bartlett test

Codename: living dangerously
EXPERIMENTAL: Made allowance to accept namespace::function to the statistics functions. Useful if the function may be masked by other packages declaring functions with the same name.
Updated messages so that EXPERIMENTAL messages can be inhibited.

Minor bug to superbToWide(): if a missing subject was the first of a group, that was converting to long poorly with reshape().
Modified GRD() to generate within-subject factors with the first factor cycling more rapidly. This is consistent with dcast() and other long-to-wide functions;

Made superb() determine automatically the WSDesign in case the design is not full factorial and the data are long;
Corrected a bug for mixed designs with long format;
Upgraded option colorize in “lineindividualplot” layout;
Added a check in GRD() to validate that effects bears on legitimate factors.

Added one validation to GRD() to exclude DV same as IV.
Added Instrument to GRD() to handle instrument-specific impacts on the generated scores (for example, the instrument may have only a limited precision)

Codename: Spooky
Remove deprecated arguments in ggplot2 >=3.5.0
Added circular layouts for radar plots with error bars
Cleaned a bit the documentation
Upgraded a bit the ReadMe page
Caught a bug in GRD() when more than 9 levels where used on an effect
Cleaned a bit the geom_superberrorbar() and added the possibility to have two distinct colors in the vertical part of the error bar.

Corrected a bug with geom_superberrorbar()

Added superb(), a formula-based function.
Modified separator from ’_’ to ‘.’ in superbToWide()

Added a new plot layout: the corset plot “corset”;
Corrected a bug in the superbShiny() graphical interface with “corset”.

Added the “antagonize” (boolean) option to violin plots.

Updated the use of & vs. && according to new R credo
Corrected a bug related to LD adjustment in mixed designs

Modified violin plots so that half-violins can be displayed
The violinParams now includes
- direction (+1= left-half; -1=right-half; 0=symmetrical);
- push (to translate half away from the medial line)
- with these modifications, corset plots can be made easily by superimposing a violin plot with halves and individualline plot

Revise FYI message for un-balanced between-group designs
Corrected a small bug for un-balanced within-subject designs
Added a check for correlations on data without variance

Added local decorrelation with option “LDr” where r is the radius.
Small correction to lineBand without between-subject factors

Regular maintenance.

Added a new plot layout, boxplot, to display box plots.
Adjusted testthat tests following new release of ggplot2
Added unitaryAlpha technique to compute average correlation
Simplified documentation for within-subject designs.

Made a message shown based on option

Corrected labeling of factors.

Updated CustomizingSuperbPlots vignettes.

Added superbToWide() to ease the conversion to wide format
A few tiny corrections to the documentation
Updated references
Note that updates are spaced more and more as the library is now very stable

Added pairwise deletion for the computation of the mean correlation in case of missing data with CA
Removed ggplot2 depleted functions “aes_string” in favor of “aes”
Removed ggplot2 depleted attribute “size” in favor of “linewidth”
Added the lineBand plot in the Shiny interface

Added documentation related to plotting frequencies
Harmonized a bit the other vignettes’ format.
Updated version in shinyapps.io

Tweaked column selection so that the variable argument can be given columns names in different order than the order in the dataframe.

tweaked “pointing” so that for error bars not lying on both side of the central tendency, the line does not pass throught the central tendency.

Updated documentation.

Added an option “pointing” to error bars so that they can be pointing; “up”, “down” or go in “both” directions (default).

Corrected the bug from 0.9.7.9 (kept bugging me!);
Reduced image resolution in vignettes.

Added a new layout to display precision using a band rather than error bars;
changed numbering of versions to two-digits version code.

Corrected a problem in the order of the conditions when more then 10 were present.

Corrected a few typos;
The population size in superbShiny() was limited to 99,999. Corrected.

Added a vignette for superb with SPSS;
Corrected superbShiny() to show the doi and remove graphic directives;
Updated the shinyapps.io version to match this version.

Corrected one bug regarding variables with similar names;
Integrated tibble data format into superb;
Some output were missing in VignetteC and a backtick missing in VignetteA.

Codename: “two-tail 95% confident”
Official release on CRAN of superb with the graphical user interface superbShiny();
Small changes to vignette TheMakingOf.

Beta release of superbShiny(), a graphical user interface to facilitate the use of superbPlot.

Added a vignette on how to implement Reference Intervals (RI) into superb;
Implemented makeTransparent() to ease the creation of plots with multiple error bars;
Added a distinct vertical color, vcolor, to the geom_superberrorbar();
Added an argument “WSDesign” (default = “fullfactorial”) when the within-subject factors are not full-factorial;
Added a vignette on how to plot non-full factorial datasets.

Integrated an example of robust statistic in Vignette/Article 4: the 20% trimmed mean and its confidence interval;
Added showSignificance() to annotate group differences;
Added a note when missing data are in the dataframe;
Added automatic handling of initializers (see Vignette/Article 9 for an example);
Added a vignette dedicated to how to illustrate Cohen’s d;
Added a geom_superberrorbar() with additional options for the tip markers;
… all this on its way to the next release version 0.9.7.5.
Stay tune as the best is still to come (and it is shiny!)

Second release on CRAN, codename “95% confident”;
Expanded documentation once more.

Added two vignettes.

Problem with CAPITAL grd corrected;
Rounded the numbers in the messages to 4 decimals (that should be more than enough!);
All the message/warnings/stop generated by suberb are now prefixed with “superb::”;
Added function WelchDegreeOfFreedom();
Added a message that indicate tryon adjustment value;
Added a vignette on Welch, Tryon & superb.

Implemented the raincloud plots;
Converted messages from warning() to message().

Expanded function names lambda, epsilon;
Made built-in bootstrap estimators for SE and PI;
Renamed option “debug” into “feedback”;
Changed debug information for GRD();
Converted in GRD the level ranges, e.g., “diff(1,5)”, into numeric levels.
