==========================================================
CHANGES IN aod VERSION 1.1-19 (released on 1st April 2007)
==========================================================
NEW FEATURES
o In negbin and betabin, the (default) maximum number of iterations was set
to 2000 in the call to optim. A new argument "control" was introduces in
the 2 functions and their help pages were amended.
BUGS
o A bug was corrected in the residuals method for S4 objects of class glimML
(incorrect use of the extractor function "$" instead of "@").
=============================================================
CHANGES IN aod VERSION 1.1-18 (released on 13th January 2007)
=============================================================
NEW FEATURES
o In negbin and betabin, display was switched to 4 digits in scientific notation.
BUGS
o No warning was issued when convergence was not obtained after optim iterations.
A slot "msg" was added to fitted objects of class "glimML" to store the message
returned by optim.
o An error occurred when model was fitted with hessian = FALSE.
DOCUMENTATION
o Documentation was changed to reflect these modifications. Some messages released
by negbin and betabin were corrected.
============================================================
CHANGES IN aod VERSION 1.1-14 (released on 9th January 2007)
============================================================
BUGS
o A bug occurred when the hessian matrix was singular (overpameterized model)
in models fitted with betabin or negbin. This was fixed. A new slot "singular.hessian"
was added to fitted objects of class "glimML".
o There was a bug in the coef method for objects of class glimML when at least
one of the explanatory variable was a factor had unused levels. To overcome
this problem, new slots "fixed.param" and "random.param" were added to fitted
objects of class "glimML".
DOCUMENTATION
o Documentation was changed to reflect these modifications.
============================================================
CHANGES IN aod VERSION 1.1-13 (released on 15th October 2006)
============================================================
DOCUMENTATION
o The help page for the package (?aod) was out of date.
===========================================================
CHANGES IN aod VERSION 1.1-12 (released on 7th October 2006)
===========================================================
INSTALLATION
o The package "boot" is now suggested to remove a warning during package installation.
========================================================
CHANGES IN aod VERSION 1.1-11 (released on 1st July 2006)
========================================================
NEW FEATURES
o The display of wald.test()'s output was slightly changed.
=======================================================
CHANGES IN aod VERSION 1.1-10 (released on 5th May 2006)
=======================================================
BUGS
o The code of the log-likelihood function was changed in betabin and negbin to avoid
warnings when a covariate was used to model the within-group correlation, and one of the
"random" coeffcient was set to 0 (warnings were related to the use of ifelse).
These warnings caused a very slow execution with R 2.3.0, probably because of some
changes in the functions handling warnings and errors (tryCatch, etc.).
=======================================================
CHANGES IN aod VERSION 1.1-9 (released on 1st May 2006)
=======================================================
NEW FEATURES
o In function splitbin(), any variable of mode character is now transformed into a factor
before data processing.
DOCUMENTATION
o New help page describing the package.
========================================================
CHANGES IN aod VERSION 1.1-8 (released on 20th July 2005)
========================================================
NEW FEATURES
o The number of observations was added as an attribute of the number
returned by "logLik".
o The corrected AIC (AICc) was added to the output of the function "AIC" and
included in the comparison statistics of the anova method for objects of
formal class "glimML".
o A new formal class "aic" was created, with a summary method to compute
Akaike difference and Akaike weights from a list of models to be compared.
o A control was added in "betabin" and "negbin" to check the presence of
lines with null weight (thanks to Jérémy Bouyer).
o The show method for objects of formal class "glimML" was slightly altered:
AICc was added to the output and a new presentation was adopted for log-
likelihood and related statistics.
DOCUMENTATION
o The documentation of functions "AIC", "anova" and "logLik" was revised to
reflect the changes in these functions.
=======================================================
CHANGES IN aod VERSION 1.1-4 (released on 9th July 2005)

objects of formal class glimML.

o The slot "digits" was removed for objects of formal class anova.glimML.
=======================================================
CHANGES IN aod VERSION 1.1-3 (released on 1st July 2005)

change for fonction negbin.
