Changes in version 1.3.1 (2024-05-23) Improvements - plot_archs() remove option for creating polygon in 3D - plot.archetypal() remove option for creating polygon in 3D New S3 classes - print.archetypal() It prints the output of archetypal() - summary.archetypal() It gives a summary for the output of archetypal() - plot.archetypal() It makes a plot of the archetypes creating after using archetypal() - plot.kappa_tools() It makes a plot of the results created after using kappa_tools() - plot.study_AAconvergence() It makes a plot of the results created after using study_AAconvergence() New functions - plot_archs() plots a matrix or data frame of archetypes Changes in version 1.2.1 New functions - kappa_tools() computes a set of proxies for the dimensionality Changes in version 1.1.1 (2020-10-19) - fix a bug for OS r-patched-solaris-x86 Changes in version 1.1.0 (2020-01-27) New functions - find_pcha_optimal_parameters() finds the optimal parameters to be used for PCHA algorithm. - find_closer_points() finds the data points that are closer to the archetypes during all iterations of algorithm PCHA. - study_AAconvergence() studies the convergence of Archetypal Analysis when using algorithm PCHA. - grouped_resample() performs simple or Dirichlet resampling. - dirichlet_sample() performs Dirichlet sampling. New data sets - Absolute Temperature the Global Absolute Temperature data set for Northern Hemisphere 1969- 2013. - gallupGPS6 the Gallup Global Preferences Study processed data set of six variables. - wd25 a 2D data set created by 5 points for demonstration purposes. Minor changes - find_outmost_projected_convexhull_points changes its n argument to npr and has new arguments rseed, doparallel, nworkers and uniquerows. - check_Bmatrix changes its print.details argument to verbose. - find_furthestsum_points changes its nworkers = 10 argument to nworkers = NULL and has new argument doparallel. - align_archetypes_from_list has a new argument verbose.
