  • remove handling of impNA in hotdeck()
  • add regression tests
  • bugfix for irmi() with factors (#13). Thanks @Deleetdk
  • bugfix with colorspace package (#4)

VIM 4.6.1

  • new option for kNN(): weightDist to use the distances for the k nearest neighbours as weights
  • The R function which.minN() is not used anymore, instead there is a C++ function, kNN() is now about 1.6 times faster on a replication (100x) of the sleep dataset
  • Bytecompile is enabled

VIM 4.4.0

  • bugfix wrong observations marked as imputed in hotdeck()
  • random sorting is now used in hotdeck() if no ord_var is defined

VIM 4.2.3

  • bugfix for the computation of distances for ordered variables

VIM 4.2.1

  • new option for kNN() useImputedDist if the imputed values of a variable should be used in subsequent imputation of another variable.

VIM 4.2.0

  • bug fixed in irmi() with newer version of nnet (multinom) and if residual scale can not be computed (noise)
