NEWS
sociome 2.2.5 (2023-12-06)
- Fixed typo that prevented geometry from accompanying
get_adi() results.
- Added escape hatches for examples and tests of functions requiring
USpopcenters and geosphere.
- Updated email address of maintainer.
sociome 2.2.1 (2023-04-25)
- Added
synthetic_population()
- Fixed
geography = "zcta" behavior so that it will honor non-NULL values of state.
- Fixed incorrect message that only 1 or 2 calls to
tidycensus functions were going to occur when in fact many might occur.
- Removed
shift_geo as a formal argument from all functions. The user can still pass this via ....
- Removed
censusapi from Imports
sociome 2.1.0 (2021-10-21)
- 2000 decennial ADI has been added back because the US census has restored the data to its API. 1990 ADI is still unavailable.
- Added functions
areas_in_radius(), closest_n_areas(), closest_population(), lon_lat_from_area(), and append_dissimilarities()
- Fixed 2015 and 2016 block group pulls
sociome 2.0.0 (2021-02-24)
Note that get_adi() will not work with 1990 nor 2000 Decennial Census data until the US Census restores the availability of those data.
Major updates
- The 3-factor split of ADI (i.e., the "Berg indices," or "ADI-3") have been incorporated and are now automatically included in
get_adi() and calculate_adi() output.
- There is no longer a default for the
year argument. This will break old code that relied on the default of year = 2017.
Minor updates
- Updated README and documentation
- Lots of comments added
- Minor code fixes for clarity and greater ease in debugging
- Updated versions of Imports and Suggests
Bug fixes
- The
seed argument had been essentially ignored up until now, since seed = 500 was hard-coded into the call to mice::mice() within sociome::calculate_adi(). User-specified seed values in calculate_adi() and sociome::get_adi() are now properly passed to mice(). Users desiring to recover old results should specify seed = 500.
sociome 1.4.2 (2020-08-03)
Major updates
get_adi() now pulls the correct variable for "civilian females age 16+ in white-collar occupations" for pre-2010 ACS estimates (C24010_040 instead of C24010_039).
Minor updates
- Accommodations for new CRAN rules on referencing help pages in other packages.
- Since examples wrapped in
\donttest{} are now run during CRAN checks, all instances were changed to \dontrun{}.
sociome 1.4.1
Major updates
- Fixed bug wherein
get_adi(dataset = "decennial", year = 2010) calls did not work unless geography = "tract"
sociome 1.4.0 (2020-03-19)
Major updates
- Fixed bug wherein
get_adi(dataset = "decennial", geography = "tract", year = 2010) returned [incorrect] results for all tracts in all specified states, irrespective of what was passed to the geoid or county arguments.
Minor updates
- Added
seed argument to get_adi() and calculate_adi().
- Code improvements
- Simplified testing
sociome 1.3.2 (2020-01-27)
Major updates
- Made
tidycensus 0.9.2 the minimum version, now that 0.9.6 is on CRAN. Both those versions are compatible, but 0.9.5 is not.
sociome 1.3.1
Major updates
- Currently, the latest CRAN version of
tidycensus, 0.9.5, is incompatible with sociome due to a tidycensus bug. This bug is fixed in version 0.9.6, which is available on Github, but in order to accommodate new users of sociome, the older CRAN version, 0.9.2, will be required instead. This will be changed once the latest version of tidycensus becomes available on CRAN.
Minor updates
- Removed reference to now-nonexistent
tigris-package help page to avoid CRAN warning.
sociome 1.3.0 (2019-11-06)
Major updates:
- Makes 2015 and 2016 block group calls use median household income (B19013_001) instead of median family income (B19113_001), which is unavailable at that level of geography during those years.
Minor updates:
- Fixed tract-level 2010 decennial calls so that they go county-by-county for the ACS-data-gathering portions
- Made it so
get_adi(dataset = "decennial", state = NULL) would work.
