• Tiny adaptation due to new Matrix version 1.4-2
  • fix for HTML5 in documentation, plus various typos
  • Fix linking problem with new version of nloptR (2.0.0)
  • Reference the JSS paper
  • less conservative tests to avoid random failure in CRAN checks
  • tiny improvements in partlyObservedNetwork (less storage)
  • now rely on future_lapply for parallel computing (plan to be set by the user)
  • faster model exploration (used to be called ‘smoothing’), now integrated by default in estimateMissSBM
  • Use sparse Matrices to encode 0 and NAs
  • complete rewriting of optimization routines (E and M steps) with C++ armadillo routines
  • Better initialization and embedded C++ kmeans implementation
  • important bug fix in MAR case
  • bug fix in inference on covariates
  • bug fixed in blockDyad-sampling
  • missSBM::SimpleSBM_fit_missSBM now inherits from from sbm::SimpleSBM rather than sbm::SimpleSBM_fit
  • change field ‘netMatrixtonetworkData’ to comply with new interface in sbm
  • defunct functions estimate, sample and simulate are no longer supported
  • changing interface after suggestion from JSS reviewers
  • updated documentation
  • interfacing with package sbm
    • change estimate to estimateMissSBM
    • change sample to observedNetwork
    • use sbm::sampleSimpleSBM instead of missSBM::simulate
    • export less R6 classes for simplification (internal use only)
  • some bug fixes
  • updated maintainer ( -> )
  • unexporting sampledNetwork, only use internally
  • merging prepare_data with estimate
  • enhanced documentation
  • moving ownership to großBM
  • added S3 methods for missSBM_fit, SBM_fit

significant changes:

  • decent vignette
