TemporalHazard 1.2.14

Performance

This release removes the slowdown 1.2.13 recorded as a known limitation
(#631). Every estimate, standard error, prediction and bootstrap replicate is
bit-identical to 1.2.13's; only the time to compute them changes. The
package's own R CMD check --as-cran now takes about 400 seconds, where
1.2.13's took about 730.

• Multiphase fits are about twice as fast again (#631). Since #578,
  each evaluation of a phase formed log(1 - G) and the hazard on the log
  scale, which only a "hazard" phase reads, and formed some of it four
  times over. A "cdf" phase now skips that work, and a "hazard" phase
  with m and nu both positive forms each piece once. On the cabgkul
  data a fixed-shape three-phase fit takes 1.0 seconds against 1.75, and a
  5-replicate bootstrap of it 3.4 seconds against 8.1.

• Fits under Conservation of Events are a further 20 to 25% faster
  (#631). The gradient under CoE evaluates the score twice at each point
  (#565), and the second evaluation now reuses the first's per-phase
  quantities instead of recomputing them. hzr_log1pexp() forms each
  branch only where it is taken, where it used ifelse(), which formed
  both over every element; its values, attributes and NAs are unchanged
  for every input.

Tests

• The repeated-events parity test of the cardioversion job now expects the
  $untranslated row for its PROC HAZPRED, which stands inside a
  %MACRO definition and has been refused since #625. Its two fits had
  failed since that change. The test needs the study datasets, which no CI
  runner has, so the failure was not reported. The package's behaviour is
  unchanged.
