Changes in version 0.0.7 - dependency on Weighted.Desc.Stat package dropped due to its removal from the CRAN repository. It was archived on 2026-04-30. Code of previously used Weighted.Desc.Stat functions is saved as undocumented functions in R file utils.R. Changes in version 0.0.6 - minor updates Changes in version 0.0.5 - improve installation instruction - streamline suggested packages Changes in version 0.0.4 - minor fixes and improvements Changes in version 0.0.3 - some minor adjustments of code in vignette mdepriv_get_started - few code-simplifications of functions mdepriv and corr_mat with no effect on their functionality Changes in version 0.0.2 - more efficient code for matrix filling within functions mdepriv and corr_mat - code related to filling and to processing of matrices implemented as helper functions in a separate R file (utils.R) - code to execute error / stop actions due to incorrect arguments of the functions mdepriv and corr_mat gathered as helper functions in a separate R file (checks.R) - overall tidied up function code - section on handling of missing values added to vignette mdepriv_get_started - minor formal changes in vignette mdepriv_get_started - internal trimming of mdepriv()'s output score_i to the range [0, 1] added. This was done due to rarely observed very minor overshooting of 1 by some values of score_i (difference < 1e-15). If in such a case the output score_i would have been used as one of the items in a higher-level model with mdepriv(), that run would fail because items are restricted to the range [0, 1]. - besides the trimming of mdepriv()'s output score_i, no change in functionality of the package mdepriv Changes in version 0.0.1 - fixed bug: tibble in addition to ordinary data.frame or matrix as argument data: enabled in functions mdepriv and corr_mat. Changes in version 0.0.0 - 1st release on GitHub - 2 functions: mdepriv, corr_mat - 2 datasets: MSNA_HC, simul_data - 2 vignettes: mdepriv_get_started, what_is_different_from_stata
