DiSCos 0.1.5

  • Added perm_q_range argument to DiSCo(): restrict the permutation test statistic to a quantile sub-range (e.g. the upper tail) without changing the synthetic-control fit, so one can test for an effect in a specific region of the distribution.
  • Added perm_seed argument to DiSCo(): seed each permutation iteration deterministically by its index, making the permutation p-value reproducible and independent of num.cores.

DiSCos 0.1.4

CRAN release: 2026-07-12

  • Performance release: the bootstrap confidence intervals are about 3x faster and the permutation test and point estimation meaningfully faster, from sorting each sample once and evaluating quantiles/CDFs on the sorted data, and from vectorizing the confidence-interval assembly. Results are numerically identical to 0.1.3 for the same seed.

DiSCos 0.1.3

CRAN release: 2026-03-07

  • Compatibility with CVXR 1.8.x (solve -> psolve, getValue -> value)

DiSCos 0.1.2

CRAN release: 2026-02-04

  • Compatibility with ggplot 4.0.0

DiSCos 0.1.1

CRAN release: 2024-07-23

  • Corrected ORCIDs of authors

DiSCos 0.1.0

CRAN release: 2024-05-13

Major updates: * Implemented the fully-fledged bootstrap approach for confidence interval estimation. See Van Dijcke, Gunsilius, and Wright (2024) * Added mixture of distributions method CDFs, confidence intervals, and permutation test

Minor updates: * Fixed a small issue where plot=FALSE option didn’t work in DiSCoTEA * Added option to supply ordinal vector of discrete points for mixture of distributions

DiSCos 0.0.1

CRAN release: 2024-03-14

  • First version of package, basic DiSco function for estimating counterfactual quantile function, resampling-based CIs, permutation test; DiSCo_TEA function for various aggregation schemes.
