Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the
package.
A new argument model_update has been added to
ergmito, ergmito_formulae, and
gof_ergmito (GOF_update). This new feature
allows users adding offset terms (which is now supported) and arbitrary
updates to the model, for example, including interaction terms.
Fixed bug in ergmito_boot. The covariance matrix was
estimated with the wrong sample, sometimes taking observations with
missing.
Better memory management: ergmito_ptr (a C++ class)
was duplicating memory when it was not supposed to. A new implementation
avoids copying memory and thus makes it faster when trying to fit a
larger object.
The dots in the function parameter target.stats,
stats.statmat, and stats.weights have been
replaces with underscores (better naming practices).
A new benchmark function has been added,
benchmarkito. The idea is to have a dependency-free way to
run benchmarks. This is not the most accurate alternative, but is good
enough for the package.
The function new_rergmito has been
refactored.
