Changes in version 0.7.0 (2026-02-07) - Minor changes according to dplyr update. - Since the survcomp package is no longer supported by CRAN, a replacement was made using the survival package's concordance function. - If you find any issues with the updated concordance index calculation, please kindly report on GitHub. Thanks! Changes in version 0.6.0 (2025-11-22) - Removing dependencies with R package ast2ast. Changes in version 0.5.0 (2025-07-13) - Adding instructions to install the package via bioconda. - Address new CRAN requirements regarding Internet access. Changes in version 0.4.0 (2025-02-17) - Adding a function phy_to_floral_data which helps convert a phyloseq object to be compatible with FLORAL. - Adding a corresponding vignette for phy_to_floral_data. - Introducing the new GEE model for longitudinal continuous and binary outcomes. More documentations to follow in the next development version. Changes in version 0.3.0 (2024-08-20) - Improves stability when fitting Fine-Gray model with longitudinal covariates. - Enables parallel computation for cross-validation. - Fixes several bugs as reported in Issues. - Adding options to use user-specified pseudo counts - Adding options to use user-specified number of maximum number of iterations - Adding a simulation scenario for survival regression models with longitudinal features - (BETA version of) the new GEE method Changes in version 0.2.0 (2023-07-05) - Including more examples in document compared to CRAN version (0.1.0.9000) - Enables elastic net models. Users can specify the weight of lasso penalty using argument a. (0.1.0.9001) - Allows adding non-compositional covariates which are not constrained by the zero-sum constraint. (0.1.0.9001) - Adds a function mcv.FLORAL() to perform multiple runs of k-fold cross-validation to summarize selection probabilities for features. (0.1.0.9001) - Adds a function a.FLORAL() to compare different choices of elastic net weight a for a fixed cross-validation setting. (0.1.0.9001) Changes in version 0.1.0 (2023-05-11) - Initial release.
