                Changes in version 1.5.0-1 (2021-11-18)                 

bug fixes

  - Fix bug associated with the formatting of the gdm model object that
    broke the predict.gdm function.

                 Changes in version 1.5.0 (2021-11-16)                  

  - Substantial update to the package structure to use devtools,
    roxygen2, etc. development tools.

  - Fixed a number of bugs associated with using non-default numebrs of
    splines.

  - Add two new functions gdm.partition.deviance and
    gdm.crossvalidation. The gdm.partition.deviance functions partitions
    deviance explained by different sets of predictors into
    unique/shared components. The gdm.crossvalidation function produces
    a number of model evaluation metrics using bootstrapping.

  - summary now provides the sum of the I-spline coefficients (indicator
    of predictor importance) and lists variables from highest sum to
    lowest.

  - plot now plots I-splines in order from highest sum of coefficients
    to least.
