RMVMR 0.4.5

• Fixed a bug in strength_rmvmr() where supplying gencov as a matrix or vector (rather than the scalar default) errored before MVMR::strength_mvmr() was called.
• format_rmvmr() now generates placeholder variant IDs when RSID = NULL, matching the documentation. The RSID argument description previously showed a typo (RSID="NULL").
• plot_rmvmr() no longer recomputes the univariate radial analyses when called with the default cordat = NULL, roughly halving the number of RadialMR::ivw_radial() calls. Results are unchanged.
• ivw_rmvmr() now fits the radial IVW model explicitly rather than via variables left over from the orientation loop. The estimate is invariant to the choice of orientation, so this is fitted directly as the canonical model; the returned coefficients (estimates, standard errors, t-values and p-values), residual standard error and degrees of freedom are unchanged.
• ivw_rmvmr() no longer returns the undocumented data element. This element held intermediate orientation data frames that were not used elsewhere in the package. The estimated coefficients remain unchanged and are still available in the coef element.

RMVMR 0.4.4

• Bump roxygen2 to 8.0.0 and add a package level helpfile.

RMVMR 0.4.3

• Implement some code optimizations.

RMVMR 0.4.2

• RMVMR now requires MVMR version 0.4.3 or later.

RMVMR 0.4.1

• Fixed a bug in plot_rmvmr() in the ggplot2::scale_x_continuous() calls. RMVMR should now run under version 4 of ggplot2, which is due to be released soon.

RMVMR 0.4

• RMVMR now required R 4.1.0 or newer. This is because of the requirement of a dependency package of ggplot2, the scales package, now having this requirement (which is the new tidyverse requirement on release of R 4.5.0).
