Hi all,

Version 0.3-1 of the "cplm" package is released, which now handles Tweedie compound Poisson mixed-effect models using Laplace approximation. The next release is going to include the corresponding Bayesian hierarchical model. See below for all the new features in this release.


NEW FEATURES

o Function 'cpglmm' is added that handles mixed-effect models using
Laplace approximations. This is based on the R package 'lme4'.
o Function 'bcpglm' now has a second method to fit Bayesian compound
Poisson GLM using direct Tweedie density approximation.
o Function 'bcpglm' also has a tuning phase that automatically updates
the scale parameter in the proposal distribution.
o The profile likelihood method in 'cpglm' is now automated

Wayne (Yanwei) Zhang
