Diff since v1.3.0

Breaking Changes

There are no breaking changes in this release.

New Features

• Add fit_mixdist_hist function in posteriorprobs_hist.jl: a histogram-based LLR-to-posterior-probability conversion ported from the original Findr C implementation. The function supports all five BioFindr tests (:corr, :link, :med, :relev, :pleio) and uses unequal-bin histogram construction with iterative bin-edge refinement to match the null distribution (#29)
• pprob_col now accepts method="hist" as a third mixture-fitting option in addition to the existing "kde" and "moments" options (#29)

Behavior Changes

• The fallback method used when method="moments" raises an AssertionError in pprob_col is changed from KDE to histogram (fit_mixdist_hist) (#29)
• The default method for pprob_col remains kde (a previous intermediate commit set it to hist; this was reverted back to kde before release)

Dependency Changes

• Add Interpolations as a runtime dependency (required by fit_mixdist_hist for spline interpolation during histogram construction) (#29)
• Bump compat for Interpolations to include version 0.16 (#30)

Tests

• Add a fit_mixdist_hist test set in test/postprobs_tests.jl covering all five BioFindr test types, validating that posterior probabilities are in [0, 1] and are non-decreasing with respect to the LLR values (#29)
• Update existing pprob_col test sets to explicitly test the "hist" method and verify fallback-from-"moments" behaviour (#29)

Documentation

• Add a new ## Histogram-based conversion of the mixture distribution section in docs/src/posteriorprobs.md with API docs for fit_mixdist_hist (#29)
• Update docs/src/index.md to mention all three posterior-probability estimation approaches (histogram, moments, KDE) (#29)
• Update the note at the end of docs/src/posteriorprobs.md to reflect that the histogram method is available as an option (#29)
