vital 2.1.0
- Updated to work with fabletools v0.7.0+
read_stmf() now takes username and password arguments, as the HMD now requires a login to download STMF data.model() now estimates models in parallel when the future package is attached, as in fabletools (the previous implementation never ran)interpolate() now works for FNAIVE(), LC(), FDM() and GAPC models (APC(), CBD(), etc.), as well as FMEAN()autoplot() now plots the age, period and cohort components of GAPC models (GAPC(), LC2(), CBD(), APC(), RH(), M7() and PLAT())tidy() now returns the coefficients of LC(), FDM(), FNAIVE() and GAPC models in long form (term and estimate, with the age, time or birth year to which each refers)LC(), FDM(), FMEAN() and FNAIVE() now give an error for unused arguments, so misspelled arguments are no longer silently ignored- Many bug fixes, documentation improvements, more informative errors, and speed ups.
