• Add Citation file for new JSS publication
• Correct minor bugs

StMoMo 0.4.0 (2017-04-01)

• Upgrade plotting function of forecast models (plot.forStMoMo) to include nice fan charts similar to those in the forecast package
• Change inteface of fit function (fit.StMoMo) to allow simiplified calling using newly defined StMoMoData class
• Add the possibility of using general arima models (beyond the random walk with drift) for the forecasting and simulation of the period indexes
• Add new estimation function for the Renshaw and Haberman model implementing the approximate constraint Hunt and Villegas (2015)

StMoMo 0.3.1 (2016-02-09)

• Change residual plotting function (plot.resStMoMo) to use a more effective divergent colour palette for colourmaps.
• Change the default plotting limits in residual plotting function to have a symmetric scale
• Fix formatting issues in logLik, AIC and BIC functions for models fitted with gnm

StMoMo 0.3.0 (2015-10-13)

• Add optional parameters kt.lookback and gc.lookback to functions forecast.fitStMoMo, simulate.fitStMoMo and simulate.bootStMoMo. These new parameters allow the forecast and simulation of mortality models using only a limited history of the period and cohort indexes

• Improve documentation of some functions

• Update package vignette

• Add citation file

StMoMo 0.2.0 (2015-06-10)

• First stable version of StMoMo released to CRAN
