[Jakob Messner] 06/16 fixed plot function for gamma0 model [Mabrouk Abaza] 05/15 fixed gamma and gamma0 models to handle single ensemble member 03/15 zero lower bound enforced in bias correction for quantileForecast with gamma and gamma0 models [Yang Xingchen] 01/15 fitBMAgamma robustification; added optim finite difference interval to control parameters for gamma0 and gamma models [Maxime Taillardat] changed ensembleData$obs to dataVerifObs(ensembleData) in dataNA registered all S3 methods 04/14 corrected call to dataNA in quantileForecast.fitBMAgamma and corrected fitBMAgamma help file [Maxime Taillardat] 01/14 corrected plot functions for gamma/gamma0 to transform obs [Bo Madsen] 01/14 removed require(chron) [CRAN] 10/13 fixed date handling in cdf functions [Sandor Baran] 07/13 shortened help file example timings 02/13 changed plot methods for precip (gamma0) and wind speed (gamma) to add transformation to horizontal axis label [Chang Eck] changed matchEnsembleMembers methods to properly return result 01/12 sd[] <- to sd <- for exchangeable, unequal variances [Henri Stephan] 11/11 included a work around in fitBMAgamma0 and quantile.fitBMSgamma0 that helps in situations where the bias coef estimates fall near or below 0 removed date check from quantileForecast.fitBMA functions 10/11 improved data compression fixed problems with robustness of pop estimates for precip (Zhi Li) 09/11 fixed problems with low precip (Alex Lenkowski) added combine function for forecasing models compressed the srft data added verifRankHist, pitHist, and verifPlot functions 06/10 fixed problems with subsetting for ensembleData 03/10 fixed variance model for gamma0 (precip) 12/09 fixed lower bound in quantBMAnormal 11/09 fixed gamma0 model to handle more low precip cases 09/09 added startup speed specification to ensembleData fixed verification rank histogram to range from 1 to n+1 09/09 fixed gamma0 model to handle cases where there are no 0 forecasts 06/09 modified estimation in gamma0 and gamma to do true EM updated bias correction strategy to handle 0 forc in gamma and gamma0 05/09 fixed crps calculation for gamma0 and gamma models changed call to cdfBMAgamma0 to cdfBMAgamma in cdf.ensembleBMAgamma 03/09 changed nonunique forecast error exit to warning 01/09 added subsetting (via date) for fitted BMA models changed ensembleDates to ensembleValidDates added forecastHour and initializationTime attrributes to model fits changed crps to CRPS and added modeified crps; changed MAE to mae added verifRankHist function 12/08 modified ensembleData function for efficiency added forecastHour requirement for ensembleData trainingRule changed to trainingDays added wind speed data modeling changed eps to tol in control functions 11/08 added pit function 10/08 fixed brierScore so that it works with one threshold fixed help file syntax
