tmsens 0.4.0 (2026-07-29)

• Fixed the adjusted trimmed means estimator for higher value trimming (side = "HIGH"), which produced incorrect estimates for outcomes not centred near zero
• The permutation p-value is now two-sided, so negative treatment effects are detected, and uses the (b+1)/(n_perm+1) estimator so it is never exactly zero
• Fixed an off-by-one in higher value trimming which removed one more observation per group than the specified trimming fraction
• Fixed print.tm_bias() erroring when the dropout spread was left unspecified
• tm() and tm_bias() now work with any treatment variable name, not just TR
• side now defaults to "LOW" and invalid values give a clear error
• tm_bias() gains the documented trF default
• tm_bias() no longer errors when a treatment group has no dropout
• summary.tm() output now shows dropout and post-trimming sample sizes for both treatment groups
• tm() no longer perturbs the random number generator state beyond the draws needed for the permutation test
• The trimming fraction and treatment variable are now validated up front with clear error messages
• Treatment groups are defined by factor level order, fixing numeric group codes such as 2 and 10 and respecting user-set reference levels
• The permutation test is around 9 times faster
• tm_bias objects gain a groups component giving the treatment and comparator group values
• Corrected the author name spelling and publication year in the package citation
