Peter Solymos — 2008-06-17T14:56:08+00:00

The mefa 1.1-2 is on CRAN now. This is a bugfix release, and includes a new generic for reporting, an updated vignette and some new functions (as.mefa, accumulate). The code is slightly adjusted according to forthcoming object classes (xclist, mflist) available in a patch file (these will be incorporated into the next major release).

Peter Solymos — 2008-03-18T08:10:01+00:00

I have just submitted latest stable version (1.1-0) of the mefa package to CRAN. Major improvements since 1.0-4 are: vignette is made available and can be used as reference for the demo, bugfixes for add.attrib and report.mefa, print and plot methods are improved, new functions included (qdef, mapmf, accumulate, ivgen, xytrend).

mefa 1.0-4 on CRAN

Peter Solymos — 2008-02-13T13:03:29+00:00

I put latest version of 'mefa' package to CRAN. It includes S3 methods for object classes, and several improvements. Code of classes were entirely rewritten for consistency. I have tested it for 2 months using several real data sets (as part of my research): it worked well. Bug in 'report.mefa' will be fixed in the next release (it is already done at r-forge SVN repository).
