dosearch 1.0.11

dosearch 1.0.10

Added support for user-defined context-specific variables for LDAGs via con_vars in control.
Removed C++11 from system requirements (for CRAN).

Added several sanity checks for the input distributions and the graph.
Updated the documentation in various aspects. Importantly, it is now noted that dosearch is not complete for missing data problems.
A non-identifiable query is now reported as follows: “The query is non-identifiable by do-search” to further clarify that the search was not able to identify the query.
Added a new Vignette for the package.
Added a plot method via the DiagrammeR package to produce derivation plots more easily.
An error is now issued when the input graph is too large.
Fixed an example on transportability in the dosearch function documentation.

Changed the default option of the search heuristic to FALSE for all instances.
Implemented minor performance tweaks to the search algorithm.
Added more options for benchmarking.
Restored a legacy control parameter for internal use.
Moved igraph and dagitty packages to ‘Suggests’.

Fixed a case where the search would continue unnecessarily for some time after discovering the target distribution.

The resulting list of the ‘dosearch’ function call now has the class dosearch with print and summary methods.
Added accessor functions get_formula, get_benchmark and is_identifiable to query an object of class dosearch.
The function get_derivation is now repurposed as an accessor function, and dosearch is now the only function for query identification.
The graph argument of dosearch now supports the igraph format used by the causaleffect package (see dosearch documentation for examples).
The graph argument of dosearch now supports DAGs created using the dagitty package (see dosearch documentation for examples).
Fixed an issue when using benchmark = TRUE in control.

Now supports context specific independence relations (CSIs) via labeled directed acyclic graphs (LDAGs). See the documentation and examples for more details.
The function get_derivation can now also be called via dosearch.
Bidirected edges can now also be given as <->.
Added a new control parameter, time_limit, which will terminate the search when the given amount of time (in hours) has passed (only when benchmark = TRUE).
Some redundant control options have been removed.
Fixed an issue with derivation rules when missing data was present.
Fixed an another minor issue regarding missing data.
Fixed a rare issue with formula generation.

Added an example on how to produce an image from the DOT derivation.
Added a warning when the response indicator for a proxy variable is not present in any data source.
