portalcasting v0.46.0

Articulating dataset controls for species

• Changing dataset controls list input from having all for species to listing the species.

portalcasting v0.45.0

Removing dm_controls as a separate dataset

• Following the removal of the interp datasets
• Now model controls indicate species to which their applied

New models

• jags_logistic_competition
• jags_logistic_covariates
• jags_logistic_competition_covariates

portalcasting v0.44.0

Major updates to JAGS models

• Modeling and tracking sigma not tau (sd, not precision)
• No max caps for density or counts (aka removing guardrails)
• No use of + 0.1 - 0.1 for logging, managing it differently
• Chain increase from 2 to 4, silent jags is now FALSE
• Removal of jags_SS wrapper, which limited adaptation of the model

Removing JAGS model vignette

• Removal of the jags_SS wrapper eliminates the core of that vignette

Adding integrated warm precip and ndvi covariates

• Allows covariates logistic model

Shift internal naming of subs to subdirectories

Shift folder naming of raw, casts to resources, forecasts

portalcasting v0.43.0

Trim text in model vignette

• Vignette now pulls text from the the model list, and loops the model list, rather than have the raw text in the markdown doc.
• This locates the description in a place that is accessible to other content generation (e.g., the portal forecast website)

portalcasting v0.42.0

Data interpolation moved from "dataset" to "within model"

• Patching, not all hit with previous release

portalcasting v0.41.0

Data interpolation moved from "dataset" to "within model"

• Previously, datasets included, for example all and all_interp. Now, only all exists and models interpolate as needed.

portalcasting v0.40.0

Argument / nomenclature updates

• dfl arg to x

read_rodents default settings update

• Now pulls all datasets using prefab_datasets

Subdirectory internal naming changed to remove spaces

• model fits now back to fits and model scripts back to models

cast_evaluations file now saved

• Flattened version of the generated list of evaluations
• Rather crude options of saving or not and overwriting the whole file or not based on settings
• No file saving occurs when a single cast is evaluated

portalcasting v0.39.0

download_timeout now set to default of 600 for setup_production

• Allows download of larger directory archive without timeout

If there's only one model, don't ensemble

• Prevents warnings / errors

portalcasting v0.37.0

Building out evaluation pipeline

• starting with what is already occurring, but formalizing as such as part of an evaluate_casts and evaluate_cast pair of functions
• evaluate_casts function now works automatically to evaluate all the casts using evaluate_cast, generating the error table as it does when being used, but nothing is saved out or updated.
• there is also no filter on evaluated casts by deafult, so the output from the forecasts without observations to evaluate is a table with a single row with NaN, and then they get wrapped up into the list.
  • no errors, just noteworthy

portalcasting v0.36.0

rodent_species

• Now includes type argument with abbreviation, Latin, and table options
• No more most_abundant_species function, as we're not using it on the website.
