Version 0.4-2 ------------- * Some additional variables in the `citycensus' table. Version 0.4-1 ------------- * Changed citation to R News article. * collapseEndpoints() now removes the `agecat' variable from the resulting dataframe. Also, much more error checking is done --- only the endpoints that are present in the dataframe will be collapsed. A `mortality' argument was added to collapseEndpoints() for specifying which endpoints to collapse. Version 0.4 ----------- * There is a mailing list available for announcements. See http://www.ihapss.jhsph.edu/data/NMMAPS/R/ for details. * Added some simple regression tests in the tests/ directory. * The citation information was previously incorrect in number of ways and has been fixed. * `listDBCities(full.names = TRUE)' and `listAllCities(full.names = TRUE)' both list the "unique" city name from the `cities' table. * Added a CITATION file. The current reference for `NMMAPSdata' can be found by typing `citation("NMMAPSdata")' at the command prompt. NMMAPScite() simply calls citation() now. * A table of census data for the cities is now included in the dataframe `citycensus'. The `citycensus' dataframe can be loaded using `data()' and short variable descriptions can be retrieved using getVarDesc(). * `NMMAPSdata' now requires R >= 2.0.0 and is lazy loaded. Version 0.3-4 ------------- * There is a new vignette in the inst/doc directory giving a brief description of how the pollutant data were processed from the raw monitor data. The vignette can be viewed by typing `vignette("PollutantProcess")' at the command prompt. * cityApply() has two new arguments: `hookFun' can be a function or a list of functions that will be applied to the output of `FUN' from each city; `wrapInTry', if `TRUE', wraps the call to `FUN' with a call to try(). The default is `FALSE'. * New function getVarDesc() retrieves short descriptions of the variables in a dataframe from the `variables' table (if those descriptions are available). * Added new documentation page which contains the names of all the variables in the full/raw dataframes and a short description of each. See `?variableDesc'. This information is taken from the `variables' table. Version 0.3-3 ------------- * The argument `verbose' was added to cityApply() which, when `TRUE', prints the names of the cities as they are passed to `FUN'. * A new preprocessing function reduced() was added to the example processing functions. This function simply returns a dataframe with a reduced set of variables. This reduced set is currently what is available from IHAPSS if you download the individual compressed ASCII/CSV files. * A vignette is now included with the package which can be viewed by typing `vignette("NMMAPSdata")' at the command prompt. * attachCity() now has a `pos' argument which defaults to 2.
