New release on CRAN

Version 2.2.1 of package ConvergenceClubs has been released on CRAN.

This new version provides improvements to the plot() function and the main findClubs() function:

1. In findClubs(), an option was added to iteratively increase the value of the cstar argument until the whole club satisfies the condition tvalue >−1.65;
2. In plot.convergence.clubs() the arguments plot_args legend_args and breaks were added for better control of graphics parameters;

Please, refer to the manual for more information about the new functionalities.

Bug Fix

Fixed a bug that that made summary.convergence.clubs() function return an error when a convergence.clubs object contained only one club

Fixed some bugs

Version 1.4.3 fixes bugs in methods print() and summary(), which did not work when divergent units where presents.

1.4.2

Version 1.4.2 of package ConvergenceClubs is on CRAN.

This release presents a few minor changes:

1. The output of the summary() function returns more information about clubs;
2. A print() method for class convergence.clubs has been added to represent in a cleaner way club data;
3. Argument estar has been added to function mergeClubs;
4. Argument regions has been changed to unit_names.

New release on CRAN

Version 1.4.1 of package ConvergenceClubs has been released on CRAN.

Compared to the previous version on CRAN, this release adds:

• method plot for objects of class convergence.clubs;
• method dim for objects of class convergence.clubs;
• improved output of method summary;
• function computeH() now has an option which lets the user decide whether to return only the cross-sectional variance H, only the transition path h, or both;
• bug fixes.

A brief description of the package and a tutorial is available here: https://rhobis.rbind.io/blog/convergenceclubs-package-release/

Added plot method

Calling plot() on a convergence.clubs object now produces the transition path plots.
One plot is generated for each club and one for the club averages.

New functionalities: transition paths and dim() method

Function computeH() now has an option which lets the user decide whether to return only the cross-sectional variance H, only the transition path h, or both.

Added a method for function dim(). Running dim() on a convergence.clubs object returns a vector of two elements: the first one is the number of clubs, the second one is the number of divergent units.
