Changes in version 3.0.0 (2026-01-10) Large overhaul with a few breaking changes in the form of altered default arguments, but for the most part this update will in fact expand sociome's usability. - Completed support of 2020 decennial census. - Moved tibble from Suggests to Imports. - Removed seed argument from get_adi(), calculate_adi(), and synthetic_population(). Any given call to one of these functions only resulted in one operation employing randomization (imputation with mice::mice()). Just call set.seed() beforehand if you want. - Added the helper objects state_geoids and dataset_year_geography_availability. - The API-utilizing functions have better input checking, informing users when they've provided a combination of inputs that the US Census API will not tolerate. - get_geoids() and synthetic_population() now support more year/geography/dataset combinations, supporting ACS data now. - Added census block compatibility to synthetic_population() and get_geoids() with dataset = "decennial". - Added ZCTA compatibility to get_geoids(). You now have to exactly specify dataset = "decennial" with the exact decennial census year if you want these data. - Added evaluator argument to get_adi(), enabling the user to customize how the function retries calls to the census API. - Fixed bug in the filtering of ZCTAs reference areas: before, the GEOIDs of ZCTAS were the ZCTA itself preceded by two digits. sociome now anticipates this and looks only at the last five digits. - Added default argument to geography argument in get_adi(), get_geoids(), and synthetic_population() - Removed default year argument in get_geoids(). - Improved documentation and added many unit tests. Changes in version 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. Changes in version 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 Changes in version 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 Changes in version 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. Changes in version 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{}. Changes in version 1.4.1 Major updates - Fixed bug wherein get_adi(dataset = "decennial", year = 2010) calls did not work unless geography = "tract" Changes in version 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 Changes in version 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. Changes in version 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. Changes in version 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. Changes in version 1.2.0 (2019-09-16) Major updates: - Adapted to tidyr's breaking changes Minor updates: - Added progress messages for the get_adi() calls that require many calls to tidycensus functions. - Code improvements. Changes in version 1.1.0 Major updates: - Households that have zero households are now excluded from ADI calculation Minor updates: - Updated README and documentation - Added more tests Changes in version 1.0.2 (2019-08-02) Minor updates: - Fixed bug with 1990 decennial calls. - Added install.packages("sociome") to README's installation instructions. - Added CRAN version number and download counter badges to README. Changes in version 1.0.0 (2019-08-02) Major updates: - Made the geometry argument FALSE by default. - Overhauled internal code to accommodate dataset = "decennial". - Added tests. Minor updates: - Documentation and README improvements. Changes in version 0.7.0 Major updates: - Added "try again" feature and improved calls to tidycensus functions. - Fixed ACS variable selection for get_adi(). Minor updates: - Made calculate_adi() an exported function again. - Added warning() that dataset = "decennial" is under development. Changes in version 0.5.1.9000 - Made calls to tidycensus functions always broken up by state to accommodate its inconsistent behavior depending on geography and year. Changes in version 0.5.0 Major updates: - ZCTAs now supported, with the addition of zcta argument. Minor updates: - Better code efficiency - checkmate package no longer an Import. - Fixed bug in which cache_tables argument had been ignored Changes in version 0.4.0 Major updates: - Created the function get_geoids(), which allows users to quickly create a table of state, county, tract, block group, and block GEOIDs. - Made calculate_adi() an internal function (no longer exported) - Made tidycensus 0.9.0 now required (added to Imports) Minor updates: - Updated README.md. - Bug fixes. Changes in version 0.3.4 Major updates: - Now using psych::principal() instead of psych::fa() under the hood. - User is warned if attempting to use get_adi() to calculate ADI values for under 30 locations. Minor updates: - README.md has been updated to reflect the above and has generally been refreshed. Changes in version 0.3.3 Major Updates: Successfully produces area deprivation indices (ADIs) for different US census designations based on user specifications.
