## 0.30.0

New:

* Automatic differentiation provides much faster and more accurate standard errors for several model types. Thanks to @t-kalinowski for improvements to `reticulate` handling and to @arcruz0 for `JAX` prediction functions.
* `sampleSelection` models with `type="conditional"` are now supported.
* Support fitting functions from the `partykit` package: `lmtree` and `glmtree`.

Bug:

* `avg_predictions()` did not respect the `wts` argument when using `variables` to create counterfactual predictions. Thanks to @strengejacke for report #1596.
* Binary variables treated as integers by `datagrid()` with `newdata=` instead of `model=`. Issue #1584.
* Better labelling in some `brms` models with categorical outcomes. Thanks to @mattansb for a proposed solution and to @strengejacke for report #1392.
* Improve printing of grouped hypotheses. Issue #1579.

## 0.29.0

New functions:

* `prune()` deletes internal information from a `marginaleffects` object to save memory space.
* `components()` returns internal information from a `marginaleffects` object.

New features:

* Group bootstrap is now possible by specifying: `inferences(method = "rsample", group = ...)`. Issue #1528.
* `datagrid()` gains a new `grid_type = "dataframe"` option that binds columns element-wise rather than creating cross-products, requiring all explicit vectors to have the same length.
* `datagrid()` gains a `FUN` argument to apply the same function to all variable types, overriding `grid_type` defaults but not specific `FUN_*` arguments.
* `equivalence` argument is now supported for bayesian models. It returns the share of posterior draws in the `equivalence` interval.

Misc:

* `AER::tobit()` can use `type="link"`
* Support `systemfit` models.
* `tidymodels()` can now do conformal prediction with `inferences()`.
* Better error message for bayesian/bootstrap models when `hypotheses()` attempts to post-process a previous `marginaleffects` call.
* Model matrix is attached to more `newdata`. Useful for Issue #6 in `marginaleffectsJAX`.
* Better error messages for unsupported custom classes with `inferences()`. Unfortunately, we cannot support them because they are not guaranteed to come with an appropriate `update()` class.
* `inferences()` new computes p-values for `method = "fwb"`. `conf_type` can now be `"perc"` or `"wald"` for `method = "simulation"`.
* Documentation improvements.
* `get_dataset()` now delegates most of the work to the `Rdatasets` package (optional dependency).
* Major internal refactoring to simplify the code base and make maintenance easier. We use fewer attributes and store internal information in a single S4 object stored as `attr(x, "marginaleffects")`.
* More efficient `inferences()` by avoiding repeated calls to `get_modeldata()`
* Support `vcov="HC0"` for `glmmTMB` models. Requires 1.1.12 of `glmmTMB` and >1.4.0 of `insight`. Thanks to @strengejacke for report #1562.

Bugs:

* Fixed bug in `sampleSelection` models.
* Fixed `betareg` models with Log(nu) parameter. Thanks to @strengejacke for report #1568.
 
## 0.28.0

Breaking changes:

* `marginaleffects` can no longer compute standard errors for `fixest` models in the following configurations (see Issue #1487):
  - `predictions()` in all model.
  - `slopes()` and `comparisons()` in models with non-linear link (ex: `fepois`), that is, with a `$family` component.
* The syntax for the `estimator` argument of the `inferences()` function is simpler:
  - Old: `inferences(est_fun(data), estimator = est_fun, method = "rsample")`
  - New: `inferences(data, estimator = est_fun, method = "rsample")`

Bugs:

* No warning emitted when `vcov=FALSE` in `lme4` and `glmmTMB` models. Thanks to @ASKurz for report #1460.
* `inferences()` passes extra arguments to `boot()`, as documented.
* `inferences(method="rsample")` should not collapse estimates when `term` is not unique (ex: contrast, by, etc.)
* `inferences(method="rsample")` does not retain all attributes (data, model, etc.) in every iteration.
* `inferences(method="rsample")` alignment bug between estimates and CIs.

Misc:

* Performance improvements.

## 0.27.0

* `inferences()` gets an optional `estimator` argument. This should be a function that accepts a data frame and returns a `marginaleffects` object. This is especially useful when the estimation strategy involves multiple steps such as computing weights, estimating a model, and computing a treatment effect via G-computation. In that case, we specify an `estimator()` function and the `inferences()` function returns a clean `marginaleffects` object with all the draws, without having to manually process the raw output from a bootstrap package.
* In `brms` models, the extra argument `incl_autocor` no longer raises a warning. Thanks to @robbinscalebj for report #1473.
* Do not run `get_dataset()` examples to avoid CRAN note.
* `mlogit` support is back for `predictions()` and `avg_predictions()`. A vignette is added to the website

## 0.26.0

Breaking change:

* `datagrid()` now sorts values of variables that are not explicitly supplied. This may change the row order of some results. Thanks to @mattansb for feature request #1439.
* The default null hypothesis with `hypothesis=ratio~` is now 1. With `hypothesis=difference~` it is still 0. Thanks to Uffe Heide-Jørgensen for report #1453.

New:

* The `hypothesis` argument can specify 1-tailed tests with strings: `avg_predictions(model, hypothesis = "b1 <= 3")`
* `get_dataset()` no longer requires the user to specify the `package` argument. It automatically searches the data index for a unique matching dataset.
* `hypotheses()` adds response names to term names. This allows `hypothesis="groupa_var1=groupb_var1"`. Thanks to @mattansb for report #1432.
* `vcov` accepts "rsample", "boot", "fwb", and "simulation". The object is automatically passed to `inferences(method=)` with default arguments. This is only meant as a shortcut.  To customize the bootstrap strategy, users should use `inferences()`.
* `get_dataset()` downloads Parquet files instead of CSV. Faster.
* `inferences()` methods "fwb" and "rsample" can now be parallelized using the global `options(marginaleffects_parallel_inferences=TRUE)`
* `df="residual"` calls `insight::get_df(model)` to get degrees of freedom for the p value computation. This usually delegates extraction to `df.residual()`.
* `datagrid()` ensures integers stay integers. Thanks to @mattansb for report #1439.
* `inferences()` now uses the `mvtnorm` package instead of `MASS` to draw multivariate normal numbers for simulation-based inference.

Bugs:

* `rms` package now allows tibbles. Thanks to @stephenrho for report #1428.
* `get_vcov()` workaround when vcov does not match dimensions of jacobian. Thanks to @fisher-j for report #1439.

Misc:


## 0.25.1

Bugs:

* `df` is now respected when using the `multcomp` argument. Thanks to @TonyRoberson for report #1414 and to @ngreifer for the solution.
* Error when `hypotheses()` has both a number in `hypothesis` and a value in `multcomp`. Thanks to J. Rohrer for Issue #1381.
* Informative error: conformal inference is not supported for `tidymodels`
* `type` is respected for models of class `betareg`. Thanks to @strengejacke for reporting issue #1391.
* `revreference` is available again in the `hypothesis` argument.
* `conformal_score="residual_sq"` incorrectly added the score to the prediction instead of absolute residual. Coverage was probably incorrect, with wider intervals than necessary. Issue #1407.
* `hypotheses()` supports multiple imputation objects from `mice`. Thanks to @ASKurz for raising issue #1420.
* `tidymodels()` reshape bug.
* `revreference` is available again in the `hypothesis` argument.

Miscellaneous:

* Print order for equivalence test p values is changed.
* `collapse` is not necessary for hypothesis formulas. Thanks to @ngreifer for Issue #1383.

## 0.25.0

Breaking changes in preparation for 1.0.0 release:

* The `hypothesis` argument no longer accepts strings like "reference" or "pairwise". Use the formula interface instead: `hypothesis= ~reference`
* The default `type` is now "survival" for models of class `coxph`, `flexsurvreg`, and `coxph_weightit`.
* `p_adjust` argument deprecated because of name-matching conflict with `p` argument in quantile regression and others. The recommended workflow is now to pass the object to the `hypotheses()` function and use its `multcomp` argument.
* Removed long deprecated functions from the code base. These functions were already raising errors: `marginaleffects`, `meffects`, `marginal_means`, `deltamethod`, `datagridcf`. 
* `newdata="marginalmeans"` was changed to `newdata="balanced"` several releases ago, but backward compatibility was maintained. This shortcut is no longer available at all.

New:

* The `hypothesis` argument is more flexible. Thanks to @mattansb for requests, testing, and documentation.
  - `hypothesis = ratio ~ meandev | groupid`
  - `hypothesis = ~ poly | groupid`
  - `hypothesis = ~ helmert | groupid`
  - `hypothesis = ~ trt_vs_ctrl | groupid`
  - `hypothesis = ~ I(foo(x)) | groupid`
  - `hypothesis = ~ I(\(x) c(a = x[1], b = mean(x[2:length(x))))`
* New function `get_dataset()` to download example data frames from the https://marginaleffects.com website. Thanks to @bshor for the feature request.
* New `multcomp` argument for the `hypotheses()` function.
* `hypotheses()` inherits the `conf_level` from `marginaleffects` objects when available. Otherwise, the default remains 0.95.
* More informative warning for `lme4` and `glmmTMB` models with `re.form=NULL`
* `df.residual()` methods tries to call `stats::df.residual()` on the "model" attribute. If that fails or returns `NULL`, we return `Inf`.
* Column names are no longer printed by default.
* Allow multiple sequential `hypotheses()` calls. Issue #1316.
* Better parameter name labels in `get_draws()`. Thanks to @andymilne for feature request #1318.
* `rvar` column from `get_draws()` is now printed by default.
* Matrix columns with 1 column are supported. Fixes errors when a variable was transformed by `scale()`, for example. Thanks to @barryrowlingson for the report.
* Much faster inference with `inferences(method="boot")`. Thanks to @nremenyi for issue #1352.
* `hypothesis=~pairwise` only errors when there are more than 300 comparisons. `options(marginaleffects_safe=FALSE)` to disable this check.

Bugs:

* Version 0.24.0 accidentally removed the "contrast" column from the output object in calls with only one focal predictor. This column is reinstated.
* Reinstate some attributes lost with `marginaleffects_lean` but necessary for printing.
* Encoding issue in bayesian models with `by`. Thanks to @Koalha for report #1290.
* Retain necessary attribute information to ensure that "lean" return objects still print correctly #1295.
* Indexing problem with `avg_comparisons(by=data.frame())` and `avg_slopes(by=data.frame())`. Thanks to @andymilne for report #1313.
* `hypotheses(p, hypothesis=~reference)` did not work for some `p` objects. Issue #1310.
* `gray` is respected for the `points` argument in `plot_*()`
* `hypotheses(x, joint=1:2)` did not work when `x` was a `marginaleffects` object. Thanks to @mattansb for report #1340

## 0.24.0

Breaking changes in preparation for 1.0.0 release:

* Rows are now sorted when using the `by` argument. This may change the order of estimates, which can affect hypothesis tests using positional indices like `b1-b2=0`.

Bugs:

* Intercept only model now works with `avg_predictions()`. Thanks to @vbrazao for report #1230.
* `systemfit` models returned no standard errors when the same variables entered in different parts of the model. Thanks to @mronkko for report #1233.

New features:

* Users can reduce the size of `marginaleffects` objects by setting the new global option `options(marginaleffects_lean = TRUE)`. This will strip the return objects of all information about the original model and data, as well ancillary attributes. The benefit of dramatically smaller return objects comes at the cost of not being able to run some post-processing inference functions like `hypotheses()` on these lean objects. Thanks to @grantmcdermott for the suggestion and code contribution #1267.

Misc:

* Using positional indices with `hypothesis="b1=b2"` can be dangerous if row order is modified. A warning is now issued once per session with detailed advice. This warning can be disabled with `options(marginaleffects_safe=FALSE)`.
* The `ggplot2` object returned by `plot_*()` functions now includes the estimates as a default object. This allows things like: `plot_predictions(model, condition="x")+geom_line()`. Thanks to @mattansb for code contribution #1259.
* Be less strict about combining columns of different types. This allows us to handle types like `haven_labelled`. Thanks to @mwindzio for report #1238.
* In `lme4` and `glmmTMB` models, warnings are now silenced when the user specifically passes `re.form=NULL`. Thanks to @mattansb for the feature request.
* New startup message appears once per 24hr period and can be suppressed using `options(marginaleffects_startup_message = FALSE)`.
* `posterior_draws()` is renamed `get_draws()` because it also applies to bootstrap and simulation-based inference draws.
* `get_coef()` and `get_vcov()` are now documented on the main website, as they are useful helper functions.

## 0.23.0

Breaking change:

* Support for `mlogit` is deprecated. The reason is that the data structure for these models is one observation-choice per row. Every other model-fitting package supported by `marginaleffects` treats rows as individual observations. The observation-choice structure made it harder to track indices and match individual predictions to rows in the original data. This added a lot of complexity to `marginaleffects`, and the results were not always reliable or safe.

Bugs:

* Improved `glmmTMB` support
    - Standard errors are produced in models with `type="zprob"`. Thanks to @jgeller112 for issue #1189.
    - `hypotheses()` bug resolved. Thanks to @reikookamoto for the code submission.
* `multinom_weightit` models with `insight` version 0.20.4 and greater would produce an error. Thanks to Noah Greifer.
* `hypotheses(joint = TRUE)` would throw an error if sample sizes could not be computed, even if they were not needed. Thanks to Noah Greifer.
* `hypotheses(joint = TRUE)` respects the `vcov` argument. Thanks to @kennchua for report #1214.
* `ordbetareg` models in `glmmTMB` are now supported. Thanks to @jgeller112 for code contribution #1221.
* `tidymodels()`: Indexing overrode the value of predictors in the output data frame. The numerical estimates were unaffected. Thanks to @agmath for report #1209.

## 0.22.0

Breaking changes:

* `type="invlink(link)"` is no longer default in `avg_predictions()` or when calling `predictions()` with the `by` argument. It is still default in `predictions()` without the `by` argument. The backtransform strategy is still available with by setting `type="invlink(link)"` explicitly.
* The `type` argument in `plot_comparisons()` now defaults to `NULL`, which is now consistent with `comparisons()` and `avg_comparisons()`. Before, the default was `type="response"`. Thanks to @giakhang1906 for report #1202.

New models supported:

* `stpm2`, `pstpm2`, `gsm`, and `aft` models from `rstpm2`. Thanks to @aghaynes and @mclements.
* `glm_weightit`, `coxph_weightit`, `multinom_weightit`, and `ordinal_weightit` models from `Weightit`. Thanks to @ngreifer.
* `glmmgee` from the `glmtoolbox` package. Thanks to @adrianolszewski for the request and @lhvanegasp for help with implementation.

New features:

* Parallel computation with `future` is more efficient by chunking tasks to avoid passing large objects to every worker for every future. Issue #1158.
* All columns of `newdata` are passed to the `hypothesis` function when `newdata` is supplied explicitly. Thanks to @gravesti for report #1175.
* `hypotheses(joint=TRUE)`: do not call `stats::nobs()` unless necessary.
* `hypotheses()` supports formulas in the `hypothesis` argument: `hypotheses(model, hypothesis = ratio ~ reference)`
* Global option: `options("marginaleffects_print_omit" = "s.value")`
* Round significant digits for labels in `plot_predictions(mod, condition = list(x = "fivenum"))`
* `print()` no longer prints `contrast` and `term` columns when values are unique. The labels were often very long, and the content is already explicit in the call itself, so there's no ambiguity.
* No warning raised when `discrete` argument is used with `mgcv::bam` and `mgcv::gam` models objects. Thanks to @Aariq for the request.
* `tidymodels` support is improved. Users can now directly feed some of them without specifying `newdata` explicitly. Thanks to @davidkane9 for the feature request.

Bugs:

* Average lift and average comparisons with user-supplied functions could be be calculated incorrectly when all predictors were categorical. Thanks to @Dpananos for Issue #1151.
* Indexing bug returned `NA` for some commands in `survey` models. Thanks to @weikang9009 for report #1161.
* Respect default `tinytable` theme.
* Inverted confidence interval bounds with some inverse link functions. Thanks to @strengejacke for report #1204.

## 0.21.0

New:

* `hypothesis` accepts formulas like: `ratio ~ sequential | group`
* Allow reverse binary contrasts: `comparisons(mod, variables = list(am = 1:0, vs = 0:1))`. Thanks to K. Henry for report #1137.
* `options(marginaleffects_safe = FALSE)` disables some safety checks and allows unadvisable (but potentially) useful features like *many* pairwise comparisons. Thanks to D.Locke for the feature request.
* `newdata="balanced"` is a shortcut to produce estimates at combinations of all categorical predictors, holding numeric predictors at their means. Equivalent to `datagrid(grid_type="balanced")`

Misc:

* Deprecation warning for `specify_hypothesis()`. This function was clearly marked as experimental, and has been available only for one release. It was a bad idea. Users should supply a custom function or a formula to the `hypothesis` argument. The new formula interface, in particular, makes it very easy to conduct group-wise hypothesis tests.
* Type checks are a bit looser to accommodate custom models.

Bugs:

* Fix regression in `mlogit` models due to factor conversion. This raised an error before returning result, so there is no numerical danger.
* `survey` package models work when `row.names(model)` is not coercible to integers. Thanks to @ngreifer for report #1131.

## 0.20.1

* The `comparison` argument of the `comparisons()` function is automatically switched to the `avg` version of the function shortcuts when calling `avg_comparisons()` or setting `by=TRUE`. For example, `comparison="ratio"` becomes `comparison="ratioavg"` when calling `avg_comparisons()`. Note that `comparison="ratioavg"` is equivalent to: `comparison = \(hi,lo) mean(hi)/mean(lo)`
* Fixed a bug ("non-conformable arguments") when using `survreg` objects from `survival::survreg()`.
* Fixed bug in `inferences()` for GLM models and `type="invlink"`, where the wrong scale would be reported for confidence intervals.

## 0.20.0

Breaking changes:

* The order of the `group` column is preserved when the original variable is a factor. This may change the order of output, which could have an effect on hypothesis tests using the `hypothesis="b1=b3"` syntax.

New:

* New *experimental* function: `specify_hypothesis()` returns functions to be used in the `hypothesis` argument of `predictions()`, `comparisons()`, and `slopes()`. This convenience function can be used to specify complex aggregations and estimands for hypothesis tests (ex: by subgroups or with custom functions).
* `hypothesis` argument accepts "meandev" and "meanotherdev" to compute deviations from the mean estimate.
* Do not raise extraneous warning for `survey` package models when the `by` argument is not used.
* Informative error when `hypotheses()` is called twice on the same object.
* `print("tinytable")` adds footnotes to the table with columns and type information.

Bugs:

* `mlogit` `predict()` method does not play well with `data.table`. Thanks to @andrewheiss for report #1086.
* Avoid merging `newdata` in `predictions()` when `hypothesis` can change the meaning of rows. Avoid Issue #1105 reported by @strengejacke.
* `inferences()` did not work with the `transform` argument. Thanks to Demetri Pananos for report #1115.


## 0.19.0

Breaking changes:

* `datagrid()` no longer includes the response variable by default when it is not explicitly specified by the user. Use the new `response` argument to include it.
* `datagrid(grid_type="balanced")` returns factors ordered by level rather than by order of appearance in the original data.
* Order of some rows in the output may differ when using `datagrid()`. Necessary to fix issue #1079 (see below).

New modeling packages supported:

* `flexsurv`: Thanks to @mattwarkentin for code contributions in PR #781. https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/flexsurv/index.html
* `REndo`: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/REndo/index.html

New:

* `wts=TRUE` tries to retrieves weights used in a weighted fit such as `lm()` with the `weights` argument or a model fitted using the `survey` package. Thanks to @ngreifer for feature request
* `print.marginaleffects()` supports `style="tinytable"`, which returns a `tinytable` object. Call `print(avg_slopes(model))` to get a nice printed table in Quarto or Rmarkdown documents, via Typst, LaTeX or HTML. Default print format can be set using: `options(marginaleffects_print_style="tinytable")`
* `hypothesis` argument accepts a function which takes a `marginaleffects` data frame and returns a transformed data frame with `term` and `estimate` columns.
* `datagrid()` gets a `response` argument (default is `FALSE`) to control if the response variable is included or excluded from the grid-building process.
* The `base::subset()` and `dplyr::filter()` functions can be called with a single argument in `newdata` to select a subset of rows from the dataset used to fit the model.
  - Ex: avg_comparisons(fit, variables = "treatment", newdata = subset(treatment == 1))`
* Better warning for unsupported arguments.
* `df` argument in `hypotheses()` accepts a vector of length 2 to control degrees of freedom in F tests.
* `nlme::lme()` objects raise a warning about degrees of freedom. Thanks to and @stefgehrig and @huftis for discussion in Issue #960.

Major bugs:

* Some results could be mislabelled with factor variables used in combination with `datagrid()` or `condition`. Thanks to @snhansen for report #1079.
* `glmmTMB` models now report correct standard errors, and raise a warning that these standard errors only account for uncertainty in fixed effect parameters. Thanks to contributors to Issue #1024 and especially to @bbolker for discussion and solution.

Minor bugs:

* Uninformative error when a custom `comparison` function returns `NA` in bayesian models. Thanks to @Sandhu-SS for report #1017.
* `datagrid()` returns an object with full attributes when `by` is used. Thanks to @Sandhu-SS for report #1058.
* `inferences(method="simulation")` with `inferences()` function. Thanks to @davidarmstrong for report #1054.

## 0.18.0

This release represents a major step towards 1.0.0. Some functions are renamed and now raise deprecation warnings. After 1.0.0, the API will become much more stable, and any change will have to be very deliberate with much lead time and deprecation delays.

Breaking changes:

* `tidy()` no longer takes the average of estimates in the original model object. Users who want an aggregate estimate should call the relevant `avg_*()` function, or use the `by` argument explicitly. The previous behavior led to unexpected behavior and increased code complexity a lot.
* `summary()` methods are removed. These have never provided any additional information; they just reprinted the output already available with the standard print method. At least the default `summary()` for data frames (which is now triggered on `marginaleffects` object) provides a different view on the content of the object.
* `plot_cco()`, `plot_cme()`, and `plot_cap()` were renamed in version 0.9.0, one year ago. They are now fully removed from the package.

New:

* `datagrid(grid_type = "balanced")` creates a balanced grid with all unique values of categorical predictors. This can be used with `predictions()` to compute marginal means as in the `emmeans` package.
* `mvgam` package support (multivariate generalized additive models)

Deprecation warnings:

* `deltamethod()` has been named `hypotheses()` for a while. We now issue a deprecation warning and it will be removed eventually.
* `datagridcf()` will eventually be deprecated and removed from the package. We will raise a warning for at least one year before removing the function. Identical results can be obtained with `datagrid(..., grid_type="counterfactual")`
* `marginal_means()` will eventually be deprecated and removed from the package. We will raise a warning for at least one year before removing the function. Identical results can be obtained using the `predictions()` function and the `grid_type="balanced"` argument of `datagrid()`. Examples are in the marginal means vignette on the website.

Minor:

* Better warning messages for unsupported matrix columns, enhancing user experience and troubleshooting.
* Various improvements to documentation.
* Typos
* Repository hosts model objects for easier testing.

Bug fixes:

* Error on `hypotheses(joint = "string")` for `comparisons()` objects (no result was returned). Thanks to @BorgeJorge for report #981.
* Enhanced support for multi-equation Bayesian models with `brms` models. Thanks to @winterstat for report #1006.
* Parameter names with spaces could break standard errors. Thanks to @Lefty2021 for report #1005.


## 0.17.0

Breaking changes:

* The `comparisons()` now uses "forward contrasts" by default for numeric predictors, instead of "centered  contrasts". This can lead to small numerical differences in non-linear models.
* The `variables` argument of the `comparisons()` function no longer accepts numeric vectors unless they are of length 2, specifying the low and high contrast values. This is to avoid ambiguity between the two vector version. Users should supply a data frame or a function instead. This is nearly as easy, and removes ambiguity.

New supported packages:

* `dbarts`: https://cran.r-project.org/package=dbarts
* `mvgam`: https://nicholasjclark.github.io/mvgam/ Not available on CRAN yet, but this package maintains its own `marginaleffects` support function.
* `rms::Gls`: https://cran.r-project.org/package=rms

Misc:

* `comparisons()`: The `variables` argument now accepts functions and data frames for factor, character, and logical variables.
* Deprecation warning for: `plot_cap()`, `plot_cme()`, and `plot_cco()`. These function names will be removed in version 1.0.0.
* `options(modelsummary_factory_default=...)` is respected in Quarto and Rmarkdown documents.

Bugs:

* `wts` argument now respected in `avg_slopes()` for binary variables. Thanks to @trose64 for report #961
* Custom functions in the `comparison` argument of `comparisons()` did not supply the correct `x` vector length for bayesian models when the `by` argument is used. Thanks to @Sandhu-SS for report #931.
* Add support for two facet variables (through `facet_grid`) when plotting using `condition`
* `comparisons()`: When `variables` is a vector of length two and `newdata` has exactly two columns, there was ambiguity between custom vectors and length two vector of contrasts. Bug reported by C. Rainey on Twitter.
* Superfluous warning with `fixest::fenegbin`.

## 0.16.0

Machine learning support:

* `tidymodels` package
* `mlr3` package

Misc:

* New vignettes:
  - Inverse Probability Weighting
  - Machine Learning
  - Matching
* Add support for `hypotheses()` to `inferences()`. Thanks to @Tristan-Siegfried for code contribution #908.
* Support `survival::survreg()`. Thanks to Carlisle Rainey for Report #911.
* `column_names` argument in `print.marginaleffects()` to suppress the printed column names at the bottom of the printout.
* The function supplied to the `comparison` argument of the `comparisons()` function can now operate on `x` and on `newdata` directly (e.g., to check the number of observations).
* More informative errors from `predict()`.

Bugs:

* Some `gamlss` models generated an error related to the `what` argument. Thanks to @DHLocke for Issue #933

## 0.15.1

* `hypotheses()`: The `FUN` argument handles `group` columns gracefully.
* Native support for `Amelia` for multiple imputation.

Documentation:

* New section on "Complex aggregations" in the Hypothesis testing vignette.

Bug fix:

* Results of the `predictions()` function could be inaccurate when (a) running version 0.15.0, (b) `type` is `NULL` or `invlink(link)`, (c) model is `glm()`, and (d) the `hypothesis` argument is non-numeric. Thanks to @strengejacke for report [#903](https://github.com/vincentarelbundock/marginaleffects/issues/903)

## 0.15.0

New:

* Conformal prediction via `inferences()`
* `hypothesis` argument now accepts multiple string formulas.
* The `type` argument now accepts an explicit `invlink(link)` value instead of silently back-transforming. Users are no longer pointed to `type_dictionary`. Instead, they should call their function with a bad `type` value, and they will obtain a list of valid types. The default `type` value is printed in the output. This is useful because the default `type` value is `NULL`, so the user often does not explicitly decide.
* Allow install with Rcpp 1.0.0 and greater.

Support new models:

* `survey::svyolr()`

Misc:

* `inferences(method="simulation")` uses the original point estimate rather than the mean of the simulation distribution. Issue #851.
* Better documentation and error messages for `newdata=NULL`
* Some performance improvements for `predictions()` and `marginalmeans()` (#880, #882, @etiennebacher).

Bug fix:

* `newdata="median"` returned mean of binary variables. Thanks to @jkhanson1970 for report #896.

## 0.14.0

Breaking changes:

* Row order of the output changes for some objects. Rows are not sorted alphabetically by `term`, `by`, and variables explicitly supplied to `datagrid`. This can affect hypothesis tests computed using the b1, b2, b3, and other indices.
* New procedure `numderiv` argument use a different procedure to select the step size used in the finite difference numeric derivative used to compute standard errors: abs(x) * sqrt(.Machine$double.eps). The numerical results may not be exactly identical to previous versions of `marginaleffects`, but the step size should be adequate in a broader variety of cases. Note that users can use the `numderiv` argument for more control on numeric differentiation, as documented.
* `bife` models are no longer supported pending investigation in weird results in the tests. Looking for volunteers write more thorough tests.

New:

* Support: `logistf` package.
* Support: `DCchoice` package.
* Support: `stats::nls`
* `hypotheses()` can now accept raw data frame, which gives a lot of flexibility for custom contrasts and functions. See the Hypothesis vignette for an example.
* `numderiv` argument allows users to use finite difference (center or forward) or Richardson's method to compute the numerical derivatives used in the calculation of standard errors.

Bug fixes:

* `inferences()` supports the `cross` argument for `comparisons()` objects. Thanks to Kirill Solovev for report #856.
* `splines::bs()` in formulas could produce incorrect results due to weirdness in `stats::model.matrix()`. Thanks to @chiungming for report #831.
* `mgcv` with `ocat` are now supported. Thanks to Lorenzo Fabbri for Issue #844.
* `quantreg` problem with `rowid` merge did not affect estimates but did not return the full original data. Issue #829.
* `get_modeldata()` extracts weights variable when available.
* `predictions()` is no longer broken in some `inferences()` calls. Issue #853
* Inaccurate averaging with `comparison=differenceavg` some models where all predictors are categorical. Thanks to Karl Ove Hufthammer for report #865.

Misc:

* Major refactor to simplify the code base and make maintenance easier.

## 0.13.0

Breaking change:

* `glmmTMB`: Standard errors are no longer supported because they may have been erroneous. Follow Issue #810 on Github for developments: https://github.com/vincentarelbundock/marginaleffects/issues/810

New:

* `hypothesis` argument accepts wildcards: `hypothesis = "b*=b1"`
* `s.value` column in all output: Shannon transforms for p values. See Greenland (2019).
* `marginal_means` supports `mira` (`mice` objects).
* `comparisons()`: The `variables` arguments now accepts arbitrary numeric vectors of length equal to the number of rows in `newdata`. This allows users to specify fully custom treatment sizes. In the documentation examples, we show how to estimate the difference for a 1 standard deviation shift in a regressor, where the standard deviation is calculated on a group-wise basis.
* `comparisons()`: the `variables` argument now accepts "revpairwise", "revsequential", "revreference" for factor and character variables.
* `comparisons()`: the `comparison` argument now accept "lift" and "liftavg".

Performance:

* Computing elasticities for linear models is now up to 30% faster (#787, @etiennebacher).

Bug fixes:

* Better handling of environments when `newdata` is a function call. Thanks to @jcccf for report #814 and to @capnrefsmmat for the proposed fix using the `rlang` package.
* Degrees of freedom mismatch for joint hypothesis tests. Thanks to @snhansen for report #789.

## 0.12.0

Breaking change:

* Row order of output has changed for many calls, especially those using the `by` argument. This may break hypothesis tests conducted by indexing `b1`, `b2`, etc. This was necessary to fix Issue #776. Thanks to @marcora for the report.

New:

* `hypotheses()`: Joint hypothesis tests (F and Chi-square) with the `joint` and `joint_test` arguments.
* `vcov.hypotheses` method.
* `wts` is now available in `plot_predictions()`, `plot_comparisons()`, and `plot_slopes()`.

Bug:

* Wrong order of rows in bayesian models with `by` argument. Thanks to @shirdekel for report #782.

## 0.11.2

* `vcov()` and `coef()` methods for `marginaleffects` objects.
* Strings in `wts` are accepted with the `by` argument.
* `predictions()` and `avg_predictions()` no longer use an automatic backtransformation for GLM models unless `hypothesis` is `NULL`.
* `vcov()` can be used to retrieve a full variance-covariance matrix from objects produced by `comparisons()`, `slopes()`, `predictions()`, or `marginal_means()` objects.
* When processing objects obtained using `mice` multiple imputation, the pooled model using `mice::pool` is attached to the `model` attribute of the output. This means that functions like `modelsummary::modelsummary()` will not erroneously report goodness-of-fit statistics from just a single model and will instead appropriately report the statistics for the pooled model. Thanks to @Tristan-Siegfried for PR #740.
* More informative error messages on some prediction problems. Thanks to @andymilne for Report #751.

Performance:

* `inferences()` is now up to 17x faster and much more memory-efficient when `method` is `"boot"` or `"rsample"` (#770, #771, @etiennebacher).

Bugs:

* `brms` models with `nl=TRUE` and a single predictor generated an error. Thanks to @Tristan-Siegried for Report #759.
* `avg_predictions()`: Incorrect group-wise averaging when all predictors are categorical, the `variables` variable is used, and  we are averaging with `avg_` or the `by` argument. Thanks to BorgeJorge for report #766.
* Bug when `datagrid()` when called inside a user-written function. Thanks to @NickCH-K for report #769 and to @capnrefsmmat for the diagnostics.


## 0.11.1

Breaking change:

* Row orders are now more consistent, but may have changed from previous version. This could affect results from `hypothesis` with `b1`, `b2`, ... indexing.

Support new models:

* `nlme::lme()`
* `phylolm::phylolm()`
* `phylolm::phyloglm()`

New:

* Vignette on 2x2 experimental designs. Thanks to Demetri Pananos.

* `plot_*()` gain a `newdata` argument for use with `by`.

Bug:

* `comparisons(comparison = "lnratioavg")` ignored `wts` argument. Thanks to Demetri Pananos for report #737.
* `ordinal::clm()`: incorrect standard errors when location and scale parameters are the same. Thanks to MrJerryTAO for report #718.
* Incorrect label for "2sd" comparisons. Thanks to Andy Milne for report #720.
* Invalid factor levels in `datagrid()` means `newdata` argument gets ignored. Thanks to Josh Errickson for report #721.
* Error in models with only categorical predictors and the `by` argument. Thanks to Sam Brilleman for report #723.
* Elasticities are now supported for `ordinal::clm()` models. Thanks to MrJerryTAO for report #729.
* `glmmTMB` models with zero-inflated components are supported. Thanks to @Helsinki-Ronan and @strengejacke for report #734.

## 0.11.0

Breaking changes:

* `type` column is replaced by `type` attribute.
* `predictions()` only works with officially supported model types (same list as `comparisons()` and `slopes()`).

Renamed arguments (backward compatibility is preserved):

* `transform_pre` -> `comparison`
* `transform_post` -> `transform`

New:

* `p_adjust` argument: Adjust p-values for multiple comparisons.
* `equivalence` argument available everywhere.

Performance:

* Much faster results in `avg_*()` functions for models with only categorical predictors and many rows of data, using deduplication and weights instead of unit-level estimates.
* Faster predictions in `lm()` and `glm()` models using `RcppEigen`.
* Bayesian models with many rows. Thanks to Etienne Bacher. #694
* Faster predictions, especially with standard errors and large datasets.

Bugs:

* Multiple imputation with `mira` objects was not pooling all datasets. Thanks to  @Generalized for report #711.
* Support for more models with offsets. Thanks to @mariofiorini for report #705.
* Error on `predictions()` with `by` and `wts`. Thanks to Noah Greifer for report #695.
* `afex`: some models generated errors. Thanks to  Daniel Lüdecke for report #696.
* `group` column name is always forbidden. Thanks to Daniel Lüdecke for report #697.
* Blank graphs in `plot_comparisons()` with a list in `variables`.
* `type="link"` produced an error with some categorical `brms` models. Thanks to @shirdekel for report #703.
* Error on `predictions(variables = ...)` for `glmmTMB` models. Thanks to Daniel Lüdecke for report #707.
* `by` with user-specified function in `comparison` and factor predictor did not aggregate correctly. Thanks to @joaotedde for report #715.

## 0.10.0

Performance:

* 2-4x faster execution for many calls. Thanks to Etienne Bacher.

New models supported:

* `MCMCglmm::MCMCglmm`
* `Rchoice::hetprob`
* `Rchoice::ivpml`
* Multiple imputation using `mice` and any package which can return a list of imputed data frames (e.g., `Amelia`, `missRanger`, etc.)

Plot improvements:

* New `by` argument to display marginal estimates by subgroup.
* New `rug` argument to display tick marks in the margins.
* New `points` argument in `plot_predictions()` to display a scatter plot.
* New `gray` argument to plot in grayscale using line types and shapes instead of color.
* The `effect` argument is renamed to `variables` in `plot_slopes()` and `plot_comparisons()`. This improves consistency with the analogous `slopes()` and `comparisons()` functions.
* The plotting vignette was re-written.

Other:

* Support multiple imputation with `mice` `mira` objects. The multiple imputation vignette was rewritten.
* The `variables_grid` argument in `marginal_means()` is renamed `newdata`. Backward compatibility is maintained.
* `avg_*()` returns an informative error when `vcov` is "satterthwaite" or "kenward-roger"
* "satterthwaite" and "kenward-roger" are now supported when `newdata` is not `NULL`
* Informative error when `hypothesis` includes a `b#` larger than the available number of estimates.
* `avg_predictions(model, variables = "x")` computes average counterfactual predictions by subgroups of `x`
* `datagrid()` and `plot_*()` functions are faster in datasets with many extraneous columns.
* In `predictions(type = NULL)` with `glm()` and `Gam()` we first make predictions on the link scale and then backtransform them. Setting `type="response"` explicitly makes predictions directly on the response scale without backtransformation.
* Standard errors now supported for more `glmmTMB` models.
* Use the `numDeriv` package for numeric differentiation in the calculation of delta method standard error. A global option can now be passed to `numDeriv::jacobian`:
  - `options(marginaleffects_numDeriv = list(method = "simple", method.args = list(eps = 1e-6)))`
  - `options(marginaleffects_numDeriv = list(method = "Richardson", method.args = list(eps = 1e-6)))`
  - `options(marginaleffects_numDeriv = NULL)`
* Print:
  - Print fewer significant digits.
  - `print.marginaleffects` now prints all columns supplied to `newdata`
  - Less redundant labels when using `hypothesis`
* Many improvements to documentation.

Bugfixes:

* Standard errors could be inaccurate in models with non-linear components (and interactions) when some of the coefficients were very small. This was related to the step size used for numerical differentiation for the delta method. Issue #684.
* `avg_predictions(by =)` did not work when the dataset included a column named `term`. Issue #683.
* `brms` models with multivariate outcome collapsed categories in `comparisons()`. Issue #639.
* `hypotheses()` now works on lists and in calls to `lapply()`, `purrr::map()`, etc. Issue #660.

## 0.9.0

Breaking changes:

* All functions return an `estimate` column instead of the function-specific `predicted`, `comparisons`, `dydx`, etc. This change only affects unit-level estimates, and not average estimates, which already used the `estimate` column name.
* The `transform_avg` argument in `tidy()` deprecated. Use `transform_post` instead.
* `plot_*(draw=FALSE)` now return the actual variable names supplied to the `condition` argument, rather than the opaque "condition1", "condition2", etc.

New models supported:

* `blme` package.

New features:

* New functions: `avg_predictions()`, `avg_comparisons()`, `avg_slopes()`
* Equivalence, non-inferiority, and non-superiority tests with the `hypotheses()` function and `equivalence` argument.
* New experimental `inferences()` function: simulation-based inferences and bootstrap using the `boot`, `rsample`, and `fwb` package.
* New `df` argument to set degrees of freedom manually for p and CI.
* Pretty `print()` for all objects.
* `by` argument
  - `TRUE` returns average (marginal) predictions, comparisons, or slopes.
  - Supports bayesian models.
* `hypothesis` argument
  - Numeric value sets the null used in calculating Z and p.
  - Example: `comparisons(mod, transform_pre = "ratio", hypothesis = 1)`
* All arguments from the main functions are now available through `tidy()`, and `summary()`: `conf_level`, `transform_post`, etc.
* Bayesian posterior distribution summaries (median, mean, HDI, quantiles) can be customized using global options. See `?comparisons`

Renamed functions (backward-compatibility is maintained by keeping the old function names as aliases):

* `marginaleffects()` -> `slopes()`
* `posteriordraws()` -> `posterior_draws()`
* `marginalmeans()` -> `marginal_means()`
* `plot_cap()` -> `plot_predictions()`
* `plot_cme()` -> `plot_slopes()`
* `plot_cco()` -> `plot_comparisons()`

Bug fixes:

* Incorrect results: In 0.8.1, `plot_*()` the `threenum` and `minmax` labels did not correspond to the correct numeric values.
* Fix corner case for slopes when the dataset includes infinite values.
* `mlogit` error with factors.
* The `vcov` argument now accepts functions for most models.

Other:

* Removed major performance bottleneck for `slopes()`

## 0.8.1

* `deltamethod()` can run hypothesis tests on objects produced by the `comparisons()`, `marginaleffects()`, `predictions()`, and `marginalmeans()` functions. This feature relies on `match.call()`, which means it may not always work when used programmatically, inside functions and nested environments. It is generally safer and more efficient to use the `hypothesis` argument.
* `plot_cme()` and `plot_cco()` accept lists with user-specified values for the regressors, and can display nice labels for shortcut string-functions like "threenum" or "quartile".
* `posterior_draws`: new `shape` argument to return MCMC draws in various formats, including the new `rvar` structure from the `posterior` package.
* `transform_avg` function gets printed in `summary()` output.
* `transform_post` and `transform_avg` support string shortcuts: "exp" and "ln"
* Added support for `mlm` models from `lm()`. Thanks to Noah Greifer.

Bug fixes:

* `hypothesis` argument with bayesian models and `tidy()` used to raise an error.
* Missing values for some regressors in the `comparisons()` output for `brms` models.

## 0.8.0

Breaking change:

* The `interaction` argument is deprecated and replaced by the `cross` argument. This is to reduce ambiguity with respect to the `interaction` argument in `emmeans`, which does something completely different, akin to the difference-in-differences illustrated in the Interactions vignette.

71 classes of models supported, including the new:

* `rms::ols`
* `rms::lrm`
* `rms::orm`

New features:

* Plots: `plot_cme()`, `plot_cap()`, and `plot_cco()` are now much more flexible in specifying the comparisons to display. The `condition` argument accepts lists, functions, and shortcuts for common reference values, such as "minmax", "threenum", etc.
* `variables` argument of the `comparisons()` function is more flexible:
  - Accepts functions to specify custom differences in numeric variables (e.g., forward and backward differencing).
  - Can specify pairs of factors to compare in the `variables` argument of the `comparisons` function.
* `variables` argument of the `predictions()` function is more flexible:
  - Accepts shortcut strings, functions, and vectors of arbitrary length.
* Integrate out random effects in bayesian `brms` models (see Bayesian analysis vignette)

New vignettes:

* Experiments
* Extending marginal effects
* Integrating out random effects in bayesian models

Bug fixes and minor improvements:

* The default value of `conf_level` in `summary()` and `tidy()` is now `NULL`, which inherits the `conf_level` value in the original `comparisons`/`marginaleffects`/`predictions` calls.
* Fix typo in function names for missing "lnratioavgwts"
* Interactions with `fixest::i()` are parsed properly as categorical variables
* For `betareg` objects, inference can now be done on all coefficients using `deltamethod()`. previously only the location coefficients were available.
* For objects from `crch` package, a number of bugs have been fixed; standard errors should now be correct for `deltamethod()`, `marginaleffects()`, etc.
* Fixed a bug in the `tidy()` function for `glmmTMB` models without random effects, which caused all t statistics to be identical.

## 0.7.1

* New supported model class: `gamlss`. Thanks to Marcio Augusto Diniz.
* `marginalmeans()` accepts a `wts` argument with values: "equal", "proportional", "cells".
* `by` argument
  - accepts data frames for complex groupings.
  - in `marginalmeans` only accepts data frames.
  - accepts "group" to group by response level.
  - works with bayesian models.
* `byfun` argument for the `predictions()` function to aggregate using different functions.
* `hypothesis` argument
  - The matrix column names are used as labels for hypothesis tests.
  - Better labels with "sequential", "reference", "pairwise".
  - new shortcuts "revpairwise", "revsequential", "revreference"
* `wts` argument is respected in `by` argument and with `*avg` shortcuts in the `transform_pre` argument.
* `tidy.predictions()` and `tidy.marginalmeans()` get a new `transform_avg` argument.
* New vignettes:
  - Unit-level contrasts in logistic regressions. Thanks to @arthur-albuquerque.
  - Python Numpy models in `marginaleffects`. Thanks to timpipeseek.
  - Bootstrap example in standard errors vignette.

## 0.7.0

Breaking changes:

* `by` is deprecated in `summary()` and `tidy()`. Use the same `by` argument in the main functions instead: `comparisons()`, `marginaleffects()`, `predictions()`
* Character vectors are no longer supported in the `variables` argument of the `predictions()` function. Use `newdata="fivenum"` or "grid", "mean", or "median" instead.

Critical bug fix:

* Contrasts with interactions were incorrect in version 0.6.0. The error should have been obvious to most analysts in most cases (weird-looking alignment). Thanks to @vmikk.

New supported packages and models:

* `survival::clogit`
* `biglm`: The main quantities can be computed, but not the delta method standard errors. See https://github.com/vincentarelbundock/marginaleffects/issues/387

New vignette:

* Elasticity
* Frequently Asked Questions

New features:

* Elasticity and semi-elasticity using the new `slope` argument in `marginaleffects()`: eyex, dyex, eydx
* `datagrid()` accepts functions: `datagrid(newdata = mtcars, hp = range, mpg = fivenum, wt = sd)`
* New `datagridcf()` function to create counterfactual datasets. This is a shortcut to the `datagrid()` function with default to `grid_type = "counterfactual"`
* New `by` arguments in `predictions()`, `comparisons()`, `marginaleffects()`
* New `newdata` shortcuts: "tukey", "grid"
* New string shortcuts for `transform_pre` in `comparisons()`
* `marginalmeans()` now back transforms confidence intervals when possible.
* `vcov` argument string shortcuts are now case-insensitive
* The default contrast in `comparisons()` for binary predictors is now a difference between 1 and 0, rather than +1 relative to baseline.
* documentation improvements

## 0.6.0

* Causal Inference with the g-Formula: https://marginaleffects.com/vignettes/gcomputation.html
 (Thanks to Rohan Kapre for the idea)

Deprecated or renamed arguments:

* `contrast_factor` and `contrast_numeric` arguments are deprecated in `comparisons()`. Use a named list in the `variables` argument instead. Backward compatibility is maintained.
* The `transform_post` argument in `tidy()` and `summary()` is renamed to `transform_avg` to disambiguate against the argument of the same name in `comparisons()`. Backward compatibility is preserved.

Misc:

* `tidy.predictions()` computes standard errors using the delta method for average predictions
* Support `gam` models with matrix columns.
* `eps` in `marginaleffects()` is now "adaptive" by default: it equals 0.0001 multiplied the range of the predictor variable
* `comparisons()` now supports "log of marginal odds ratio" in the `transform_pre` argument. Thanks to Noah Greifer.
* New `transform_pre` shortcuts: dydx, expdydx
* `tidy.predictions()` computes standard errors and confidence intervals for linear models or GLM on the link scale.

## 0.5.0

Breaking changes:
