Changes in version 1.3.2 (2026-05-14) - Included Firth's penalized regression model for binary endpoints in case of separation. Changes in version 1.3.1 (2026-02-25) - Fixed a newly introduced bug that would occur if the R package future.apply was not installed. - Added flexibility to bootstrapped credible bands in plot.modelFits(). Changes in version 1.3.0 (2026-02-23) - Fixed a bug that would occur when predicting from the beta model shape outside of the original dose range. - Fixed a bug in which the MED assessment could not be performed when specifying a negative direction of beneficial effect and an evidence level other than 0.5. - Added functions and vignettes for the binary endpoint case. - Added functionality to assessDesign() to provide custom simulated data and custom model estimates enabling complex data simulation and analysis methods. - Added argument to assessDesign() for number of bootstrap samples in case evidence_level is provided. - Added functionality to plot.modelFits() to plot effect sizes. - Added calls to set.seed() in vignette's code blocks to facilitate individual code block reproducibility. Changes in version 1.2.0 (2025-08-28) - Fixed a bug in performBayesianMCPMod() where the model significance status from the MCP step was sometimes not correctly assigned to the fitted model in the Mod step. - Fixed a bug in print.modelFit() where sometimes the coefficients for the fitted model shapes were not printed correctly. - Fixed a bug in getMED() where quantile and evidence level could sometimes not be matched due to floating-point precision issues when using bootstrapped quantiles. - Changed functions getPosterior(), getCritProb(), and getContr() to accept a covariance matrix instead of a standard deviation vector as argument. - Added support for none-zero off-diagonal covariance matrices in the MCP step. - Added bootstrapped differences to getBootstrapSamples(). - Added average MED identification rate as attribute to assessDesign() output. - Made the future.apply package optional. - Re-worked vignettes and improved the output of print functions. Changes in version 1.1.0 (2025-03-07) - Fixed a bug in plot.modelFits() that would plot credible bands based on incorrectly selected bootstrapped quantiles. - Added getMED(), a function to assess the minimally efficacious dose (MED) and integrated getMED() into assessDesign() and performBayesianMCPMod(). - Added parallel processing using the future framework. - Modified the handling of the fit of an average model: Now, getModelFits() has an argument to fit an average model and this will be carried forward for all subsequent functions. - Re-introduced getBootstrapSamples(), a separate function for bootstrapping samples from the posterior distributions of the dose levels. - Adapted the vignettes to new features. Changes in version 1.0.2 (2025-02-06) - Addition of new vignette comparing frequentist and Bayesian MCPMod using vague priors. - Extension of getPosterior() to allow the input of a fully populated variance-covariance matrix. - Added the non-monotonic model shapes beta and quadratic. - New argument in assessDesign() to optionally skip the Mod part of MCPMod. - Additional tests. Changes in version 1.0.1 (2024-04-05) - Re-submission of the BayesianMCPMod package. - Removed a test that occasionally failed on the fedora CRAN test system. - Fixed a bug in getBootstrapQuantiles() that would return wrong bootstrapped quantiles. - Added getBootstrapSamples(), a separate function for bootstrapping samples. Changes in version 1.0.0 (2024-01-08) - Initial release of the BayesianMCPMod package. - Special thanks to Jana Gierse, Bjoern Bornkamp, Chen Yao, Marius Thomas & Mitchell Thomann for their review and valuable comments. - Thanks to Kevin Kunzmann for R infrastructure support and to Frank Fleischer for methodological support.
