Staying Up to Date
This page is a summary of which versions of concurve
are currently supported and which we will provide support with depending
on the context. We will mostly be supporting the most recent versions of
the package, as these versions will also be using the latest version of
R and other dependencies that are necessary. As such, those
who continue to use older versions of the package may be out of the loop
on new changes in arguments to functions, along with new functions. We
urge users to consult and stay up to date with the documentation, and
update their R packages as frequently as possible. An easy
way to remain updated is to visit the package website, as the
newest version of the package number will always be on the top left.
Previous Versions
However, we’d still like users to be able to access old versions of concurve for whatever, reason, and in addition to using GitHub, those can also be found on the CRAN archive. A page with the test results for the most recent package on CRAN can also be found here.
Another useful link will be the NEWS
section, which will inform users of bugs that have been patched and new
changes to old functions. However, checking CRAN is less
than desirable, due to the fact that new changes (that may even be very
important), will often quickly be pushed to GitHub, rather
than CRAN. Thus, installing or upgrading to the newest
version of concurve via the script,
install_github("zadrafi/concurve@master", dependencies = TRUE)may be useful.
You can also directly download a tarball or zip of the most recent package version using the following link.

What’s New in Version 3.0
Version 3.0 is a major update that includes new functionality, reduced dependencies, and improved compatibility.
New Functions
-
curve_wrap()- Generic wrapper for any CI-producing function -
curve_model()- Convenience wrapper for model objects -
curve_snowflake()- Construct consonance distributions directly from Snowflake database query results -
curve_snowflake_batch()- Batch processing for multiple Snowflake analyses -
export_for_powerbi()- Export consonance data in Power BI-ready format -
curve_from_ratio()- Construct curves from ratio estimates -
curve_from_se()- Construct curves from standard error estimates -
curve_overlap()- Calculate overlap between consonance functions -
curve_summary()- Generate summary statistics for consonance objects -
plot_multi()- Plot multiple consonance functions simultaneously
Dependency Changes
-
Removed
pbmcapplydependency - Replaced with base Rparallel::mclapply()for parallel processing, reducing the package’s dependency footprint -
Optional database dependencies -
DBIandodbcare now in Suggests for Snowflake integration (install only if needed)
Bug Fixes and Improvements
- Fixed scoping issues with
subset()inside parallel processing calls - Improved roxygen2 documentation across all functions
- Enhanced error messages and input validation
- Updated vignettes with corrected examples
Dependencies
The package constructs interval estimates using a wide variety of
functions that already exist within the R ecosystem, whether that is
from base R or from community-contributed packages that are on CRAN.
Here is a list of those packages. Those that are necessary to produce
distributions of parameters are specified as Imports, while
those that are optional and not necessary are specified as
Suggests.
Those that are listed in the Suggests section are typically used for additional functionality such as database connectivity or testing.
