eggCounts 1.0:

  • MCMC inference migrated from Metropolis-Hastlings algorithm and Gibbs sampler to Stan modelling language.

  • Further improved bug fix of version 0.4.

  • Improved models.

  • Full-support on zero-inflation models.

eggCounts 0.4, 0.4-1:

  • Bug fixes introduced since version 0.1.
