germinationmetrics 0.1.9

NEW FUNCTIONS:

  • geom_line2 - A modification of ggplot2::geom_line to plot both lines and points together.

UPDATED FUNCTIONS:

  • FourPHFfit - Added better error handling. Now gracefully fails by returning empty output due to convergence errors or when fitting is not possible.
  • FourPHFfit.bulk - Added better convergence error handling. Added grid search for finding starting values.
  • plot.FourPHFfit.bulk - Now uses geom_errorbar for showing uniformity. Added better plotting without overlap using geom_line2.
  • t50 - Fixes bug causing incorrect results when multiple values of Ni and Nj are present (Thanks to Aude Maugarny @amaugarn).
  • GermValue & GermSpeed - Updated calculations to ignroe NaN values.
  • EmergenceRateIndex - Fix error due to missing total.seeds argument.

germinationmetrics 0.1.8

CRAN release: 2023-08-18

UPDATED FUNCTIONS:

  • FirstGermTime, LastGermTime, TimeSpreadGerm - Fixed issue with incorrect display of results in case of intervals which are not in days (Thanks to D. Vijay Dunna.Vijay[at]icar.gov.in).
  • FourPHFfit, plot.FourPHFfit FourPHFfit.bulk and plot.FourPHFfit.bulk - Replaced fitting using minpack.lm::nlsLM with gslnls::gsl_nls.
  • FourPHFfit.bulk and plot.FourPHFfit.bulk - Fixed issue with plotting of cumulative data with show.points = TRUE (Thanks to D. Vijay for Dunna.Vijay[at]icar.gov.in).
  • FourPHFfit.bulk - Added fit quality evaluation in output.
  • VarGermTime, SEGermTime, SEGermRate, CUGerm - Fixed calculation bug with cumulative data.

OTHER NOTES:

  • Added unit tests with testthat.
  • Fixed inst/CITATION.

germinationmetrics 0.1.7

CRAN release: 2022-08-28

UPDATED FUNCTIONS:

  • FourPHFfit.bulk - Fixed false “total number of seeds tested is less than the total number of germinated seeds” warning when germination count data is cumulative (Thanks to D. Vijay for Dunna.Vijay[at]icar.gov.in).
  • FourPHFfit - Updated computation of starting values.

VIGNETTE:

  • Resolved duplicate chunk labels.

OTHER NOTES:

  • Updated documentation for WeightGermPercent and germination.indices to fix HTML validation problems.

CRAN release: 2022-06-15

NEW FUNCTIONS:

  • PeakGermPercent - Compute peak germination percentage.

UPDATED FUNCTIONS:

  • FirstGermTime, LastGermTime and PeakGermTime - Updated documentation with formula.
  • EmergenceRateIndex - Depreciate erroneous method argument options of melville and melvillesantanaranal and replace them with shmueligoldberg and sgsantanaranal respectively. GermSpeedCorrected - Use germination percentage instead of counts.
  • EmergenceRateIndex, GermIndex, GermSpeedCorrected, GermValue, GermRateRecip and TimsonsIndex - Minor documentation update.

VIGNETTE:

  • Fixed fetching CRAN page for version history to fail gracefully when access is down.
  • Updated units in Table 3.

germinationmetrics 0.1.5

CRAN release: 2021-02-17

NEW FUNCTIONS:

  • plot.FourPHFfit.bulk - Wrapper function around FourPHFfit for multiple samples.

UPDATED FUNCTIONS:

  • FourPHFfit - Added warning for low germination percentages. Modified to return NA output for zero total germination inputs with non-converging fits so as not to break FourPHFfit.bulk.

VIGNETTE:

  • Removed cairo dependency.

germinationmetrics 0.1.4

CRAN release: 2020-06-16

NEW FUNCTIONS:

  • FourPHFfit.bulk - Wrapper function around FourPHFfit for multiple samples.
  • GermIndex - Compute germination index according to Melville et al., (1980).
  • EmergenceRateIndex - Compute emergence rate index according to Shmueli and Goldberg (1971), Bilbro and Wanjura (1982), and Fakorede and Ayoola (1980).

UPDATED FUNCTIONS:

  • FourPHFfit - Added more checks for the input arguments umax, umin, xp, tries and tmax.

Closes issue #3.(Thanks to Jonas Ohlsson [@jonasoh])
  • TimsonsIndex and GermRateGeorge- Fixed to handle interval data other than days.

VIGNETTE:

  • Fixed details of Median germination time in Table 3.
  • Fixed typo in formula for CUG in Table 3.
  • Added reference for Coefficient of variation of the germination time in Table 3.
  • Reverted to using system certificates instead of RCurl ones for fetching and displaying version history as suggested by Prof. Brian Ripley ().

OTHER NOTES:

  • Error in case of non-uniform intervals converted to warning.
  • Fixed documentation errors in FourPHFfit and CVGermTime.
  • Updated documentation for GermSpeed, GermSpeedAccumulated, CUGerm MeanGermRate, SEGermRate, CVG, MeanGermTime, VarGermTime, SEGermTime, GermUncertainty, GermSynchrony, MeanGermPercent, MeanGermNumber, WeightGermPercent, TimsonsIndex, GermRateGeorge and GermSynchrony.
