weibulltools (development version)

Breaking Changes

Parametric Models

  • rank_regression(): For all distributions, the confidence intervals of the parameters are now computed on the basis of a heteroscedasticity-consistent (HC) covariance matrix. If the confidence intervals for the Weibull parameters are to be calculated according to Mock, this must be specified via the new argument options.
  • mixmod_regression(): Since this function uses rank_regression(), the changes regarding the confidence intervals also apply here.
  • plot_prob.wt_model(): Removed dysfunctional argument distribution. The distribution is inferred using the model x.

Confidence Intervals

  • delta_method(): Renamed argument p with x.
  • confint_betabinom() and confint_fisher(): Removed constant features distribution, bounds and direction from the tibble output and added them as attributes instead.

Monte Carlo Simulation

  • mcs_mileage(): Changed name of output column mileage to x (in accordance with reliability_data()).
  • mcs_delay(): Changed name of output column time to x (in accordance with reliability_data()).
  • dist_mileage.default() (former dist_mileage()): Renamed argument mileage with x.
  • mcs_mileage.default() (former mcs_mileage()): Renamed argument mileage with x.

New Features

Distributions

  • Implementation of one- and two-parametric exponential distribution ('exponential' and 'exponential2').

Non-Parametric Failure Probabilities

  • estimate_cdf(): Added option johnson_method to specify the formula which is used for determining cumulative failure probabilities.

Parametric Models

  • rank_regression(): New arguments direction (specifies direction of dependency in the model), control (enables access to argument control in optim()) and options (method used to calculate the confidence intervals for the parameters, default is "HC").
  • r_squared_profiling(): New argument direction.
  • ml_estimation(): New arguments start_dist_params (optional vector with initial values of the parameters) and control (enables access to argument control in optim()).
  • loglik_profiling(): New argument wts.
  • loglik_profiling() is now an S3 generic. loglik_profiling() becomes loglik_profiling.default(). Added loglik_profiling.wt_reliability_data().

Lifecycle changes

Minor Improvements and bug fixes

Reliability Data

  • estimate_cdf() preserves additional columns, that were returned from reliability_data(..., .keep_all = TRUE).
  • Improved print.wt_reliability_data().

Confidence Intervals

  • Fixed bug in plot_conf(): Wrong confidence bounds were displayed for direction = "x" (#181).
  • Fixed bug in plot_conf(): plot_method = "ggplot2" and exactly one method in estimate_cdf() resulted in an error (#182).

Monte Carlo Simulation

  • The object returned by mcs_mileage() now has class wt_mcs_mileage.
  • The object returned by mcs_delay() now has class wt_mcs_delay.
