ICIKendallTau 1.2.0

• Refactored much of ici_kendalltau, making the code more consistent and easier to extend, as well as providing more informative error messages. Thanks to @njtierney for suggestions.
• Also refactored kt_fast to be more consistent and use more functions internally. Note: now returns matrix or data.frame regardless of whether passing simply two vectors or a matrix input.
• Added alternative and continuity arguments to both ici_kendalltau and kt_fast.
• Added cor_fast to allow running many iterations of cor.test on large matrix inputs if desired, with parallel processing to speed things up.

ICIKendallTau 1.1.3

• makes rank_order_data take a sample class argument to enable splitting out by class.

ICIKendallTau 1.1.2

• adds the rank_order_data function to help with visualizing the pattern of missingness with respect to the rank of the rows.
• adds the yeast_missing dataset as a more realistic dataset for running the test_left_censorship and rank_order_data.

ICIKendallTau 1.1.0

• adds the function test_left_censorship to verify if ici_kendalltau is appropriate to use on the data or not.

ICIKendallTau 1.0.0

• Calculates correlation between columns of the matrix, not the rows.

ICIKendallTau 0.3.20

• kt_fast now uses the same data.frame format for output as ici_kendalltau, but returns a matrix by default. The data.frame is useful when large amounts of comparisons are run.

ICIKendallTau 0.3.0

• Handling parallel execution differently to avoid really large matrix issues on each core.
• Introduces the return_matrix parameter to ici_kendalltau that allows to return the results in the form of a data.frame instead of lists of matrices.

ICIKendallTau 0.2.10

• Provide the kt_fast function that handles missing or NA values similarly to the stats::cor function, but uses our ici_kt fast function underneath.

ICIKendallTau 0.2.8

• Made all error outputs the same length as the default output but containing NA.
• Check for the case when one of the variables in ici_kt has all identical arguments, warns the user and returns NA.

ICIKendallTau 0.2.1

• Added new argument include_only to ici_kendalltau that allows the user to define which of the pairwise correlations to actually do.

ICIKendallTau 0.1.17

• switched theme.
• updated installation instructions to use r-universe.

ICIKendallTau 0.1.16

• updating documentation and examples

ICIKendallTau 0.1.4

• Switched pairwise_completeness to also use the global_na parameter.
• Oh yes, there is a function pairwise_completeness to enable scaling by the completeness between any two samples.

ICIKendallTau 0.1.2

• Updated the API to use a single variable, global_na that defines all the values that should be set to NA for the correlation calculation.
• This is a big API change, so we bumped the version up to 0.1.

ICIKendallTau 0.0.6

• Fixing a bug where if there are 55,000 elements in the vector, some of the match overflows from 32 bit to 64 bit, and results make no sense.

ICIKendallTau 0.0.5

• Fixed a bug where instead of returning a two element vector, it only returned a zero length value. This probably only happened when one of the entries contained all NA values, or you tried to pass "vectors" with less than two entries.

ICIKendallTau 0.0.4

• Fixing things that came up with R CMD check in the documentation. Should be all good now (I hope).

ICIKendallTau 0.0.3

• Added tests!
• Removed a bunch of code that wasn't necessary because it was using the incorrect formula's, and we have the correct version in the ici_kt_pairs function for reference purposes.

ICIKendallTau 0.0.2

• Fixed an issue where a warning would be issued if {furrr} was not installed.

ICIKendallTau 0.0.1

• First release. It's been tested and used rather thoroughly by myself, but I'd say it's still rather alpha. Even though I use it all the time myself.
• Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
