Changes in version 1.0.4 (2023-04-04)                  

  - Activate the multi-core capabilities of TMB
  - Resp() function to extend the functionality of Surv objects
  - trafo option for plot.smooth.tramME to plot monotonic
    transformations of the smooth terms
  - Faster and more robust vcov and edf_smooth calculations.
  - simulate method (with limited functionality in this version)
    returned
  - Updated additive tramME package vignette

                 Changes in version 1.0.3 (2022-09-05)                  

  - Adapted matrix type conversions to Matrix 1.5.0.
  - Fixed typo in vignette mixed-effects-additive-models.

                 Changes in version 1.0.2 (2022-07-04)                  

  - Updated vignette mixed-effects-additive-models.
  - Cleaned up the documentation.

                 Changes in version 1.0.1 (2022-04-25)                  

  - Updated test utilities to avoid issues with MKL on CRAN.

                 Changes in version 1.0.0 (2022-04-12)                  

  - Smooth shift terms as defined by mgcv. Currently only s() smooths
    are allowed.
  - Cleaned up the source code and the documentation.
  - The official reference is Tamasi and Hothorn (2021), vignette was
    also updated.
  - New vignette with examples of mixed-effects transformation models
    with smooth shift terms.
  - Some methods have been moved to development branch for proper
    testing and refactoring (Aareg, lpterms, simulate, parboot, trafo).
    These features may eventually find their way back to the package,
    probably in a slightly changed form.

                 Changes in version 0.1.3 (2022-03-08)                  

  - Fixed duplicate.tramTMB method to work with TMB 1.8.0.

                 Changes in version 0.1.2 (2021-08-16)                  

  - Added R-Forge URL

                 Changes in version 0.1.1 (2021-04-13)                  

  - Fixed uninitialized value problem indicated by valgrind

                 Changes in version 0.1.0 (2021-03-30)                  

  - Updated internal functions for estimation transformation models with
    TMB:
      - Fixed effects only models can be estimated
      - Exported functions (coef, logLik) communicate with the TMB model
        more smoothly
      - Updated internal structure to help future development (not
        exported currently)
  - Fixing coefficients with the argument fixed = c(name = value)
  - New model classes in SurvregME using the parameter fixing option
  - AaregME extends the (parametric) Aalen regression model of tram with
    mixed-effects.
  - Out-of-sample log-likelihoods using the newdata argument of logLik
  - Score residuals with the resid method. When frequently recalculated
    (e.g. in boosting), setting resid = TRUE in model definition
    increases efficiency.
  - Updating models via the update method
  - Setting observation weights and offsets efficiently (activated with
    do_update = TRUE). Currently, only possible through directly
    manipulating the tmb_obj of the model.
  - Parametric bootstrap with the parboot method
  - New optimization options (e.g. internal scaling of fixed effects
    design matrix to improve convergence, more sensible initial values)
    and improved control over the optimization process with
    optim_control()
  - Various methods (including analytical in the case of fixed effects
    only models) to calculate the Hessian; trying harder to invert the
    Hessian in numerically unstable cases.
  - Calculate the linear predictor with type = "lp" in predict
  - Several additional methods to help the user working with tramME
    objects: model.frame, model.matrix, fitmod, duplicate.
  - Improved unit testing
  - Improved documentation
  - Demo for IPD meta-analysis

                 Changes in version 0.0.4 (2021-02-04)                  

  - fixed bug in setting error distributions of 'dummy' ctms for predict
    and simulate methods
  - updated Figure 6 in vignette, because the bug above affected predict
    in the case of CorlME
  - fixed bug in unit test for simulate that caused error with mlt 1.2-1
  - fixed simulate output structure with what = "joint" option
