• fixing issues with the order of loading functions given the “actuar” package has implemented it’s own ‘var’ and ‘sd’ functions
  • shiny gadget for fitting univariate distributions has been added

  • added test function for distfun objects

  • diagnostic plots now have better checks for distfun objects and lists of distfun objects

  • Adding continuous distribution testing functions Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Anderson-Darling, and Cramer-Von Mises

  • S3 methods have now been added for distfit objects

  • Code reformatting and cleanup

  • Fixed appearance of plots

  • Added plot_density function for comparison pdfs of fitted functions

  • Updated argument naming conventions

  • DESCRIPTION summary has been updated

  • Examples have been updated for fit_univariate, fit_empirical

  • fit_empirical_discrete and fit_empirical_continuous are no longer exported

  • added plot_qq and plot_pp functions for diagnostic plotting of fits

  • Added a vignette Diagnostic Plots for Fitting Distributions

  • Introduction vignette has updated examples

  • Update DESCRIPTION

  • Parameter name error checking for fit_univariate_manual

  • Fixed bug so that empirical distributions functions are now vectorized

  • Consolidated fitting empirical distributions into one function

  • Fixed vignette title

  • Added BugReports to Description

  • Added fit_univariate_man for manually specifying parameters and generating a distribution

  • Added function to summarize statistics for distribution inspection

  • Added documentation for supported univariate distributions

  • Changed naming of fitted distribution object (output of fit_univariate) to be more explicit e.g. ‘d’ is now ‘dpois’ for a fitting a poisson distribution

  • Added ‘parameters’ list item to a fitted distribution object (output of fit_univariate)

  • Added Discrete Uniform distribution functions and ability to fit discrete uniform

  • Added cauchy, llogis, logis, invweibull, invgamma to continous distributions that can be fit
