From brodgar@lists.highstat.com Sun Sep 6 19:17:06 2009 From: brodgar@lists.highstat.com (brodgar@lists.highstat.com) Date: Sun, 06 Sep 2009 19:17:06 +0100 Subject: [brodgar]Brodgar updates Message-ID: <4AA3FCA2.1010605@highstat.com> Dear Brodgar user, This is an email to let you know that a new Brodgar version is available. Just download the update from www.brodgar.com, and install it in the same directory as your current version. We have made various changes: September 2009. Release of version 2.6.2 You can now copy and paste residuals (or other info) into the Brodgar spreadsheet. This allows you to apply all the fancy data exploration tools on residuals. Missing values (if present in the original data) are added to the residuals. Brodgar is now linking to R version 2.9.1. This means better GAMs and a better negative binomial distribution in the GAM. The use of the by command in smoothers has been modified according to R version 2.9.1. All help files have been updated. The license system has been modified so that it now needs your hard disk. September 2009. Release of version 2.6.1 With one mouse-click you can now visualise the fitted values of a linear regression or GLM model. For example, linear regression models that contain interactions have fitted lines that cross. Next on the menu are: Adding zero inflation models (ZIP, ZAP, ZINB, ZANB) Adding quantile regression Adding another dynamic factor analysis method. There are 5 remaining slots on a mixed effects modelling course in December, in Newburgh. A course on zero inflated data is scheduled for the Autumn of 2010, also in Newburgh.
