MGDrivE 1.6.2 (2025-09-05)
Major Changes
Minor Changes
- Fixed deposition issues in
cubeClvR2() - Thank you Dr. Leftwich.
- Updated internal documentation - per CRAN requests.
- Exported several new inheritance patterns that have been in development.
- Updated website documentation, switched to the current version of
pkgdown.
- Updated vignette options to reduce package size.
MGDrivE 1.6.1
Major Changes
- Rebuild of
oneDay_mating_deterministic_Patch() and oneDay_mating_stochastic_Patch(). They properly account for zero probabilities with males and the associated female deaths.
- This fixes a bug introduced when
eta() was turned into a matrix object, allowing selective mating.
omega() is supposed to be a matrix, and change for each node. That isn't implemented here, and I don't know why not.
Minor Changes
calcOmega() has been updated internally.
- A closed-form expression was derived, and the
stats::uniroot() dependency is removed.
- This does not actually fix the issue found, which is in the bounds for
mu.
- Better bounds-checking was introduced, with a more clear error message, to warn users when they encounter this error.
MGDrivE 1.6.0 (2020-10-05)
Major Changes
- Rebuild of the Migration Function
- Migration is handled at the Network level now. This removes objects from the Patch class, making the package lighter and more efficient.
- Migration is no longer Dirichlet distributed.
- New Inheritance Patterns
- One and Two locus Cleave and Rescue (ClvR) constructs have been made available.
- ERACR/eCHACR constructs have been made available.
Minor Changes
- Spelling checked and errors corrected.
- Function links in the documentation have been updated.
MGDrivE 1.5.0 (2020-01-29)
Major Changes
- Complete internal rebuild of MGDrivE implementation.
- The underlying mathematics are the same, only the implementation has been changed.
- Significant memory reductions.
- Significant computational reduction.
- All internal objects and functions have been updated.
- Most important, the stochastic implementation had a bug in it, which has been resolved.
- All releases are now numeric vectors/matrices indicating the genotype and release number; this is handled internally.
- It is now possible to release mated females.
- Male-mating ability is now female-genotype dependent, allowing for assortative mating.
parameterizeMGDrivE() takes several new parameters
sampTime indicates how often output is written from the simulationinheritanceCube is now required to parameterize the initial genotype distributionsLarPopRatio, AdPopRatio_F, and AdPopRatio_M have been updated internally to reflect accurate default behavior and handle different user input to set them.
- data.table has been removed from the dependencies. This implies rebuilds of:
splitOutput()aggregateFemales()calcQuantiles()
splitOutput() and aggregateFemales() have been fixed to properly use the writeDir parameter.
Minor Changes
- All
verbose options have been updated for consistency. The default is TRUE.
- All parameters that previously had to be vectors the same length as the number of patches have been updated to take a single number, implying that all parameters are the same for each patch, or as a vector, so each patch can be specified individually.
- Plotting functions have been updated to handle any sampling scheme (i.e., if output is not written every day).
parameterizeMGDrivE() had internal loops replaced with vectorized functions.- Spelling errors and documentation inconsistencies were addressed.
- Citation was updated to reflect publication in Methods in Ecology and Evolution.
MGDrivE 1.1.0 (2019-08-19)
Major Changes
- data.table moved to Imports, from Depends.
- Parameter names made consistent in several auxiliary functions:
retrieveOutput()calcQuantiles()plotMGDrivESingle()
Minor Changes
- Several spelling errors addressed.
- Realistic landscape example changed to use the zero-inflated kernel, instead of the basic exponential kernel.
- Several plotting tweaks.
- Added links to the accompanying data analysis package, MoNeT-MGDrivE, part of the MoNeT package.
