- Major computational upgrade: The core computational parts of most of the functions were written in C++ using Rcpp and RcppArmadillo libraries. This led to a major boost in computational speed.
- Function name changes: read.fmridata to readfmridata, glmcoeff to glmcoef, waveletcoeff to waveletcoef, pikljbar to postmixprob, postwaveletcoeff to postwaveletcoef, postglmcoeff to postglmcoef, postgroupcoeff to postgroupglmcoef.
- Function added: One new R function, substituteWaveletCoef, was added for convenience.
- Argument changes: The argument ‘nsubject’ (number of subjects) previously used in multiple functions was renamed as ‘n’. The main function BHMSMA received a new argument(k) denoting which regressor to consider for analysis.
- Function scope changes: The function glmcoef was broadened in scope to include any number of regressors.
- Bug fixes: A bug related to the computation of posterior median of the wavelet coefficients in the function postwaveletcoeff was fixed. A bug related to return of the hyperparameter variance estimates in the function BHMSMA was fixed.
- Others: The package compiler was removed from ‘depends’ as automatic byte-compilation of packages on installation became default in latest R versions. The vignette is updated.
