Changes in version 7.0-0 (2024-01-15)
   * orm.fit: complete re-write making use of ultra-compact sparse represention of pure intercept part of Hessian, and splitting returned information matrix into 3 submatrices
   * this involved writing a new Fortran subroutine ormll; all the link-related calculations were moved into ormll
   * orm: removed support for user-supplied link functions; stayed with 5 hard-coded cumulative probability distributions and these must now be regular character string values
   * add Matrix to imports
   * orm, orm.fit: added weights and penalties
   * lrm, lrmll.f90: changed to use Matrix package sparse representation of Hessian/information matrix.  This allows lrm to have as many intercepts as orm.
   * lrm, orm: removed $var in fit object; use vcov() to extract the variance-covariance matrix.
   * Added intercepts argument to print.lrm and by default intercepts are not printed if there are more than 10
   * infoMxop: new function to take either an ordinary information matrix or a list containing information submatrices (one of them being a symmetric band diagonal sparse representation), and either returns the assembled sparse matrix, its inverse, or selected rows/columns of the inverse.  Used by functions such as orm, anova.rms, Mean.lrm, Quantile.orm, ExProb.orm to do efficient calculations on the variance-covariance matrix.
   * vcov.orm: changed to use infoMxop, and improved logic for handling fit$var
   * vcov.lrm: changed to just use vcov.orm
   * Changed rms service routines to deal with lrm, orm fits not containing $var but allowing for old fit objects that do
   * Mean.lrm, Quantile.orm, ExProb.orm: more efficient matrix operations using infoMxop
   * anova.rms: change default tol from 1e-13 to 1e-14
   * lm.pfit: change default tol from 1e-7 to 1e-14
   * contrast.rms: added profile likelihood confidence intervals and likelihood ratio chi-square tests for contrasts
   * bootcov: removed rms fitter construction and replaced with quickRefit
   * bootcov: changed arguments to fitting functions to be passed via ...; for lrm.fit and orm.fit added compstats=FALSE, compvar=FALSE for speed
   * bootcov: removed logic to fill in intercepts for non-sampled Y values and instead used linear interpolation/extrapolation to estimate missing intercepts from sampled Y values; also added ytarget argument to just keep one intercept per bootstrap fit.  Results will be different from the "flat carry forward" method that was used before version 7.0.
   * plotIntercepts: new function to plot step function representing the intercepts in lrm or orm
   * lrm: fixed bug in Dxy calculation
   * lrm.fit, orm.fit: added Levenberg-Marquardt optimization, changed gradient comvergence criterion for this and Newton-Raphson to be gradtol * n / 1000, which is also used in the new orm.fit
   * groupkm, val.prob: use the new Hmisc cutGn function in place of cut2 for m=
   * LRchunktest: removed; anova.rms now uses quickRefit
   * Re-factored quick rms fitters to function quickRefit, modified LRchunktest to use it
   * getDeviance: new internal function for rms fits; converts loglik to deviance for some models
   * survreg.fit2: passed offset argument
   * Glm and other code using glm.fit: glm.fit was storing a weight variable that is not the original given by the user when fitting the model; this hurt quickRefit and perhaps other routines.  Change all glm.fit calls to store the original weights as fit object component oweights
   * contrast.rms: use middle intercept for lrm
   * Ocens: moved from rmsb to rms
   * Various: changed default tol for solve() to .Machine$double.eps
   * validate.lrm: curtail x to [-40,40] in L01 calculation; fixes infinite value problem for U and Q
   * removeFormulaTerms: dispensed with R warning by pasting together multiple line formulas
   * require Hmisc 5.2-2 or later
   * start conceptualizing a road map for future developments for lrm and orm:
     + orm will be the place for extending the model (censoring and constrained partial PO model), and lrm will handle multiple optimization methods
     + orm will be the one supporting multiple link functions
     + orm will ultimately support left, right, and interval-censoring but with the Hessian less sparse when any obs. are interval-censored
     + orm with the log-log link will provide a full-likelihood Cox PH model; will need to write survplot and other routines to support it

Changes in version 6.9-0 (2024-12-11)
   * replaced Ratfor code for robcovf and ormuv with Fortran 2018 with lots of nice vectorization for ormuv thanks to ChatGPT

   * wrote Fortran 2018 lrmll routine to efficiently compute log-likelihood, score vector, and Hessian matrix for binary and proportional odds penalized or unpenalized logistic models
   * completely re-wrote lrm.fit: optionally orthogonalized X matrix using qr decomposition, used lrmll with an array of optimization options in the R stats package, removed code to compute rank correlation indexes with binning, instead doing exact calculations using the survival package's concordance.fit function.  Extensive details are at https://fharrell.com/post/mle/.
   * modified lrm to use the new lrm.fit
   * removed lrm.fit.bare function since the new lrm.fit handles this

   * predab.resample: stop() instead of return() in case original fit failed

   * orm.fit: changed defaults for eps, maxit and tol
   * inst/tests/lrm3.r: new test related to reverse dependency check problem
   * recode2integer: new function from Cole Beck, took out corresponding code from orm.fit

   * rexVar: new function for general measures of relative explained variation for each predictor in an rms or rmsb model fit
   * poma: added minfreq argument thanks to Yonghao Pua
   * orm.fit:  Non-downward-compatible change but one that makes results more likely to be identical across different hardware platforms by rounding numeric Y-values that are not integers after multiplying by 10^7 (the 7 can be modified by the new y.precision argument).  Thanks to Cole Beck, Cathy Jenkins, and Shawn Garbett.  See https://github.com/harrelfe/rms/pull/133 and https://hbiostat.org/R/rms/unique-float.html

Changes in version 4.5-0 (2016-04-02)

	 * bootplot: added what='box' for box plots to check for wild bootstrap coefficients
	 * ggplot.Predict: old workaround for expression labels for facet_grid quit work; changed to new labeller capabilities just added to ggplot2
	 * survplot.*, survdiffplot: added cex.xlab, cex.ylab arguments
	 * Design: fixed bug where one-column matrices as predictors did not compute column names correctly

	 * %ia%: returned attribute iaspecial which TRUE when the interactions involved a categorical variable with exactly 2 levels and a variable that was not passed through lsp, rcs, pol
	 * Design: if an %ia% object has iaspecial TRUE modifies how mmcolnames is created for that model term to account for an inconsistency in R whereby a categorical variable involved in %ia% when there are only two levels does not generate the usual variable=non-reference value in the column names.

   * ggplot.Predict: new function for ggplot2 graphics for Predict objects
   * contrast.rms: added ... for print method (e.g., to allow digits=4)
