Version 0.4 released
New features
- added grpgini function.
- added grpmedian function.
- implemented filter argument in grpsum().
- implemented N-dimensional alignment (alignment can be done on more than two variables/dimensions in the same file).
- added keyword arguments to csv():
- ‘fname’ to allow defining the exact name of the csv file.
- ‘mode’ to allow appending to a csv file instead of overwriting it.
- reworked csv() function to support several arguments, like show. It also supports non-table arguments.
- added ‘skip_shows’ simulation option, to make all show() functions do nothing.
- allowed expressions in addition to variable names in alignment files.
- added keyword arguments to dump():
- ‘missing’ to convert nans into the given value.
- ‘header’ to determine whether column names should be in the dump or not.
- improved import functionality:
- compression is now configurable.
- any csv file can be transposed, not just globals.
- globals fields can be selected, renamed and inverted like in normal entities.
- added “explore” command to the main executable, to launch the interactive console on a completed simulation without re-simulating it.
Miscellaneous improvements
- expressions do not need to be quoted anymore.
- reverted init to old semantic: it happens in “start_period - 1”, so that lag(variable_set_in_init) works even for the first period.
- purge all local variables after each process to lower memory usage.
- allowed the result of new() to not be stored in a variable.
- allowed using temporary variables in matching() function.
- using a string for matching expressions is deprecated.
- added a tolerance of 1e-6 to the sum of choice’s probabilities to be equal 1.0
- added explicit message about alignment over and underflows.
- nicer display for small (< 5ms) and large (>= 1 hour) timings.
- improved error message on missing parenthesis around operands of boolean operators.
- improved error message on duplicate fields.
- improved error message when a variable which is not computed yet is used.
- added more information to the console log:
- number of individuals at the start and end of each period.
- more stats at the end of the simulation.
- excluded unused components in the executable to make it smaller.
Fixes
- fixed logit_regr(align=float).
- fixed grpavg(bool, filter=cond).
- fixed groupby(a, b, c, expr=grpsum(d), percent=True).
- fixed having several grpavg with a filter argument in the same expression.
- fixed calling the main executable without argument (simply display usage).
- fixed dump with (some kind of) aggregate values in combination with a filter.
- fixed void data source.
