we made sure that the grouping factor (i.e. the variable after the "|") in the mixed model is not included in a set of checks that are normally used for standard GLMs. This is not appropriate as it blocked users from running models when there were small number of individuals in the groups (e.g. siblings in family groups). Having a small number of individuals in a group is not a disclosure issue for mixed models and hence it should be permitted.
we improved the handling of errors when something went wrong in the underlying lme4 functions that are used. Previously this meant that the error message returned to the user was not the one from the underlying function, making it hard to debug what has gone wrong.
we have added, to ds.glmSLMA, a notify.of.progress argument which can enable or disable logging to progress.
ds.histogram: function allows the user to plot distinct histograms (one for each study) or a combined histogram that merges the single plots change to how function automatically checks for disclosure, now compares the number of breaks with the disclosure parameter “nfilter.levels.density”, instead of comparing with “nfilter.levels” as previously.
ds.Boole: an issue was fixed which means that under certain circumstances incorrect results can be produced. This incorrect behaviour can occur if the right-hand operand is negative.
