----------------------------------------
- Changes in difNLR 1.0.0 (2017-01-24) -
----------------------------------------

MAJOR UPDATES

  o  New function ddfMLR() to detect Differential Distractor
     Functioning (DDF) with Multinomial Log-linear Regression
     (MLR) model.
     S3 methods for class 'ddfMLR' also added - 'print' and 'plot'.

  o  New function MLR() to calculate likelihood ratio statistic
     for detecting DDF with MLR model.

  o  The 'difNLR()' function can handle 6 generalized logistic
     regression models with option 'model'.

  o  Functions 'startNLR()', 'genNLR()' ans S3 methods for class
     'difNLR' were changed according 'difNLR()' function. S3 method
     'coef' was created.

  o  New functions NLR() and constrNLR() can now calculates DIF
     detection statistics and specify constraints for generalized
     logistic regression model.

  o  Function 'difNLR()' was edited to response to 'difR' package
     and its DIF detection functions.

  o  Function 'genNLR()' was changed to generate dataset from
     generalized logistic regression model with 8 parameters.



MINOR UPDATES

  o  The CITATION file was updated.

  o  Several typos were fixed.

  o  Some default options of input were changed.

  o  'AIC()', 'BIC()' and 'logLik()' S3 methods added to 'difNLR()'


----------------------------------------
- Changes in difNLR 0.2.0 (2016-11-09) -
----------------------------------------

MAJOR UPDATES

  o S3 method 'plot' for class 'difNLR' was updated.

  o New option of 'test' in 'difNLR()' function was added. Possible
    choices are now 'F' for F-test and 'LR' for likelihood ratio test.

  o Choice of significant level 'alpha' was added into 'difNLR()'
    function with default option 0.05.

  o Six new data sets were added - scored 'GMAT' data, its unscored version
    'GMATtest' and its key 'GMATkey'. Scored 'difMedical' data set, its
    unscored version 'difMedicaltest' and key 'difMedicalkey'.

  o New function 'genNLR()' was added to generate scored (binary) data with
    model by 'difNLR'.


MINOR UPDATES

  o  Several typos were fixed.
