wpa 1.9.0

Updates to network_p2p(), with breaking changes to the argument, addressing issue #225:

• network_p2p() now has a centrality argument for computing and visualizing centrality as node sizes in the network plot
• the algorithm argument is renamed to layout for better intuitiveness
• Improved consistency and intuitiveness of the API, with style argument now controlling the network plotting mechanism and return argument controlling whether plots are generated interactively or saved as PDF
• Added a large number of community detection algorithms from igraph

network_summary() adds the ability to return pagerank.

This version also includes some minor dependency maintenance done to create_dt().

• Removed ‘portes’ dependency, which was removed from CRAN
• Bug fixes

• Enable text mining functions to accept stopwords argument as a string vector, rather than a data frame (#182)

• Replaced outdated uses of mutate_all() in functions (#195)

wpa 1.6.2

• Added new signal options for flex_index() (#183, #185)
• Minor feature improvements (#186)
• Minor bugs fixed (#181, #184)
• Updated em_data with new signals (#191)

wpa 1.6.1

• Fixed several minor bugs reported on GitHub (#177, #178, #180, #181)
• Refurbished meeting_tm_report() (#173)

wpa 1.6.0

• Improved visuals on workpatterns_rank() and identify_shifts_wp() (#160)
• Added ability to show percentages on identify_shifts_wp() (#160)

New functions: - generate_report2() (#141) - wellbeing_report() (#141) - create_tracking() (#141) - anonymize() (#162) - jitter_metrics() (#162)

Other changes: - Improved error handling on create_IV() (#157) - Bug fixes to plotting mechanism for network_p2p() and added ability to select custom weights (#149)

wpa 1.5.0

• Improved aesthetics on plots
• New visuals, with abbreviated labels added to archetypes generated by workpatterns_classify() (#130, #132)

New functions: - hrvar_trend() (#132) - one2one_freq() (#132)

wpa 1.4.3

• Patch update
• New CRAN submission addressing some feedback on Rd files (successful)

wpa 1.4.2

• Patch update

wpa 1.4.1

New functions: - one2one_freq() (#95)

Significant changes to existing functions: - create_rank() is now able to call create_rank_combine() to compute averages for pairwise combinations. The mode and plot_mode arguments are also made available to the key metric wrapper functions of create_rank(). - network_g2g() now has the option to specify algorithm and node colour.

wpa 1.4.0

v1.4.0 is the version where the working patterns family of functions are released open source as part of wpa (#55). These functions include:

• workpatterns_classify()
• flex_index()
• workpatterns_report()
• plot_flex_index()

In addition to the above, there are also some new functions, bug fixes, documentation, and performance improvements.

New functions: - import_to_fst() (#86) - create_hist() (#80) - identify_shifts_wp() (#66)

Significant changes to existing functions:

• collaboration_report(): visuals and structure are improved (#69)
• import_wpa() can now specify encoding when reading in data, which now defaults to UTF-8 (#76). This resolves a previous bug for reading in double-byte characters.
• network_g2g(): now auto-detects columns for collaborators and time investors. Also, if the value 'Collaborators Within Group' does not exist in the data, a warning message is returned.

Bug fixes:

• collab_area() now has relaxed variable name checks which makes it less prone to fail when not all exact collaboration metrics are available or when cases do not match (#81).
• Resolved an issue of overly strict checks on flag_outlooktime(). Now it is possible to pass both 7:30 and 07:30 as inputs.

Documentation changes have been implemented across the board to comply with CRAN and to improve the user experience (#31)

wpa 1.3.1

New functions, bug fixes, and performance improvements.

Significant changes to existing functions: - New plot visual is available for keymetrics_scan() - combine_signals() can now dynamically accept any metrics available in the Hourly Collaboration query. - pairwise_count() now uses a data.table implementation, instead of dependent on widyr.

New functions: - network_p2p() - network_leiden() - network_louvain() - network_describe() - create_sankey() - totals_col()

Some package dependencies have been removed (see #36): - network - GGally - widyr

wpa 1.3.0

This is the first version of the wpa package to be released open-source on GitHub. If you have been using a previous developmental version, the main difference is that this release omits the more experimental working patterns family of functions. The experimental functions are currently available upon request via mac@microsoft.com.
