Changes in version 0.5.1 (2020-02-05) o Fixed documentation of 'minAMSE'. Changes in version 0.5.0 (2019-01-10) o Order of factors changed in function 'prop'. o Bugfixes in computation of weighted quantiles and quintile share ratio to strictly follow Eurostat definitions. o Package title now in title case. o Packages 'boot' and 'MASS' are now only Imports instead of Depends. Changes in version 0.4.6 (2014-08-19) o Estimation of a proportion and its variance (class "prop", function 'prop' and related changes).

Changes in version 0.4.3 (2013-03-07) o Bugfix in 'bootVar' when resampling clusters of observations rather than individuals. Changes in version 0.4.2 (2013-03-06) o Bootstrap variance estimation now contains an argument 'cluster', which allows for resampling clusters of observations rather than individuals. o Bugfix in 'gpg': arguments 'gender' and 'method' are now passed to 'variance'. o Updated vignette 'laeken-intro'. Changes in version 0.4.1 (2013-02-11) o Reduced run times of examples for 'bootVar' and 'variance'. o Functions 'arpt' and 'arpr' can now take a vector of percentages of the weighted median to be used for the at-risk-of-poverty threshold. o Updated vignette 'laeken-intro'. Changes in version 0.4.0 (2012-10-17) o Added example data 'ses' for the Structure of Earnings Survey. o Added vignette 'laeken-intro'. o Minimal changes in 'print' method for indicators. o Minimal changes in help files and vignettes. o Removed attributes from variable 'eqIncome' in example data 'eusilc'. o The level names of argument 'gender' in function 'gpg' can now be any character string. Note: the first level of gender should always correspond to females. Changes in version 0.3.3 (2012-05-31) o New plot method for objects of class "paretoTail". o Package roxygen2 is now used for documentation. o Bugfixes in 'paretoQPlot' and 'meanExcessPlot': order of graphical parameters 'pch', 'cex', 'col' and 'bg' for the data points is now preserved. o Bugfix in 'meanExcessPlot': computation of weighted quantiles no longer throws error. Changes in version 0.3.2 (2012-03-19) o Package is built with flag --resave-data to avoid warning with R 2.15.0. Changes in version 0.3.1 (2011-07-25) o New arguments in function 'paretoScale' for generalizations of Van Kerm's formula. o Updated author affiliation. Changes in version 0.3 (2011-06-06) o New function 'gpg' for estimating the gender pay (wage) gap. o Fixed function 'bootVar' for package 'boot' >= 1.3-1. Changes in version 0.2.3 (2011-05-10) o Corrected mistake in formula for weighted Hill estimator in vignette 'laeken-pareto'. Changes in version 0.2.2 (2011-04-24) o New function 'shrinkOut' for Pareto tail modeling to shrink outliers to the theoretical quantile used for outlier detection. Changes in version 0.2.1 (2011-03-09) o Fixed help files for 'meanExcessPlot' and 'paretoQPlot' on Microsoft Windows systems. o Fixed package reference in vignette 'laeken-variance'. Changes in version 0.2 (2011-03-08) o Functions for fitting a Pareto distribution now have an additional argument 'x0' to specify threshold directly instead of using number of observations 'k' in the tail. o In the graphical exploration of the data using 'meanExcessPlot' or 'paretoQPlot', sample weights can now be considered and the threshold (scale parameter) can be selected interactively. o Function 'paretoQPlot' now simply uses logarithmic y-axis to show the labels in the scale of the original values. o Changed default axis labels in 'paretoQPlot'. o Sample weights can now be considered when fitting a Pareto distribution using 'thetaHill', 'thetaISE' or 'thetaPDC'. o New function 'calibVars' for convenient construction of binary variables for calibration. o New functions 'paretoTail', 'replaceTail', 'replaceOut' and 'reweightOut' for improved methodology for Pareto tail modeling with a common interface. o Row names of the example data 'eusilc' are now given by 1 to the number of rows. o New wrapper function 'weightedMean' for the (weighted) mean. o New function 'paretoScale' for estimating the threshold for Pareto tail modeling. o Totals for calibrated bootstrap variance are now by default computed from the original data using the Horvitz-Thompson estimator. o Added package vignettes 'laeken-standard', 'laeken-pareto' and 'laeken-variance'.
