new features

  • Rebuild monotonic effects from scratch
    to allow specifying interactions with other
    variables. (#239)
  • Introduce methods posterior_linpred
    and posterior_interval for consistency
    with other model fitting packages based on
    Stan.
  • Introduce function theme_black
    providing a black ggplot2 theme.
  • Specify special group-level effects within
    the same terms as ordinary group-level effects.
  • Add argument prob to
    summary, which allows to control the
    width of the computed uncertainty intervals. (#259)
  • Add argument newdata to the
    kfold method.
  • Add several arguments to the plot
    method of marginal_effects to improve
    control over the appearences of the plots.

other changes

  • Use the same noise-free variables
    for all model parts in measurement error models. (#257)
  • Make names of local-level terms used
    in the cor_bsts structure more informative.
  • Store the autocor argument
    within brmsformula objects.
  • Store posterior and prior samples in separate
    slots in the output of method hypothesis.
  • No longer change the default theme of
    ggplot2 when attaching brms. (#256)
  • Make sure signs of estimates are not dropped
    when rounding to zero in summary.brmsfit. (#263)
  • Refactor parts of extract_draws
    and linear_predictor to be more consistent
    with the rest of the package.

bug fixes

  • Do not silence the Stan parser
    when calling brm to get informative
    error messages about invalid priors.
  • Fix problems with spaces in priors
    passed to set_prior.
  • Handle non data.frame objects
    correctly in hypothesis.default.
  • Fix a problem relating to the colour
    of points displayed in marginal_effects.
