• R version 4.3.1 has been released for Displayr users! Upgrades like this are important to keep all of the R-based features up to date, and in order for Displayr to stay up to date with the latest security patches. As with all system upgrades, there can be small numerical differences in outputs due to changes in randomization and numerical precision. Displayr's advanced analysis tools have been thoroughly tested with this upgrade, and no differences of commercial relevance have been identified. If you notice a change that is concerning please contact support@displayr.com. Features in which you may notice small differences include:
  • Dimension Reduction
  • Regression
  • Choice Modeling
  • Max Diff

The new version of R is more conservative in some small ways to help R users to write better code. Changes to the way you write code are documented in this article. If you write custom R code in Displayr and have not yet had a chance to review this, then please do so.

Thursday, February 13, 2020

• Insert > Regression > Linear Regression and the other six regression types now have an automated outlier removal option. The new input control is called Automated Outlier Removal Percentage and accepts a numeric value between 0 and 50 (including 0 but not 50). If a non-zero value is selected for this option then the regression model is fitted twice. The first regression model uses the entire dataset (after filters have been applied) and identifies the observations that generate the largest residuals. The user specified percent of data values that have the largest residuals are removed from the data. The regression model is refitted on this reduced dataset and output returned. If a zero-value is selected for this input control then no outlier removal is performed and a standard regression output for the entire (filtered) dataset is applied.

• The standard error shown on tables of correlations was computed using (1 - R2)/sqrt(n - 1). This is not correct. It now is computed using sqrt((1-R2)/(n-2)). The statistical tests were using the correct formula, so no change has occurred in terms of which results are flagged as significant.
• On summaries of numeric variables, the standard deviations and associated statistics (standard errors and statistical tests) had an error in them whereby they failed to take missing values into account. If a study has extremely high rates of missing data these may have caused non-trivial differences. This only affected summary tables; not any crosstabs.
