Changes in version 1.3.13 (2023-02-12) - Fix issues found by the CRAN check. Changes in version 1.3.12 (2021-09-20) - Add a fast K-sample BD test procedure for category variables, especially the GWAS datasets. Changes in version 1.3.11 (2021-03-17) - Update citation information and reference. Changes in version 1.3.10 (2021-01-09) - Add variance (Chi-square) weight for K-sample Ball Divergence test. - Refine distance computation Changes in version 1.3.9 (2019-12-17) - bcorsis can conveniently analyze category variables (e.g., GWAS datasets). - Add permutation-free method for the Ball Divergence and Ball Covariance test (both only for constant weight now). - Add variance (chi-square) weight for Ball Divergence test. - Fix potential bugs in R version 4.0 Changes in version 1.3.8 (2019-05-31) - Improve the reproducibility and efficiency of multi-threading and change the default number of threads as the number of CPUs available. - Improve the computational efficiency of the KBD test. Changes in version 1.3.7 (2018-12-14) - Modify ambiguous arguments of bcov.test, bd.test, bcorsis - Modify document Changes in version 1.3.6 (2018-12-03) - Formula interface for bd.test and bcov.test - Optimize the package dependency Changes in version 1.3.5 (2018-11-02) - Faster implementation of mutual independence test - Multi-thread support for the test of mutual independence - Modify document Changes in version 1.3.0 (2018-09-30) - Add a KBD statistic designed for detecting the distribution distinction when a part of group distributions are identical. (setting kbd.type = "maxsum") - OPENMP based Multi-thread support for KBD - Optimized OPENMP parallelism Changes in version 1.2.0 (2018-06-17) - Speed up feature screening. - Speed up mutual independence test. - Another K-sample test statistic (setting kbd.type = "max") is implemented. It is good at detecting the distribution distinction when a part of group distributions are identical. - Add complete.info component in the output list of bcov.test, bd.test and bcorsis such that user not need to re-run them when user want to obtain the test of result of different statistics. Changes in version 1.1.0 (2018-05-12) - Bug fix - OPENMP based Multi-thread support for bd.test and bcov.test - Speed up feature screening for survival data - Implement Angular metric for compositional data Changes in version 1.0.0 (2018-01-03) - Initial CRAN version
