polAr 0.2.0.1 Unreleased

New CRAN submission with minor fix to fail gracefully with informative message if internet resources (github) is nos available

polAr 0.2.0 2020-09-14

New CRAN submission:

1. Add Legislative workflow functions:

show_available_bills(), plot_bill(), get_bill_votes()

2. Add GEO workflow functions:

get_grid(), show_arg_codes(), recode_grid(), get_geo(), map_results()

3. Add speeches workflow functions:

show_available_speech(), get_speech(), plot_speech()

4. New verbs for electoral data:

• get_multiple_elections()

• New computations: compute_concentration(), compute_seats(), compute_disproportion()

polAr 0.1.3.5 Unreleased

Agu 17, 2020: dev version

• Add new workflow for legislative data with three functions:

1. show_available_bills() to explore data

2. plot_bill() to quickly visualize voting totals

3. get_bill_votes() to download invividual voting records

polAr 0.1.3.4 Unreleased

Jul 31, 2020: dev version

• Add ‘level’ parameter to get_multiple_elections() function

• Add new computation function for electoral data workflow: compute_concentration()

• Fixed map_results(): need to ungroup when using sf::st_as_sf() function.

• Add get_geo() function to get gis

• Add {geofaceteAR} functions as {polAr} native functions:

1. get_grid()

2. show_arg_codes()

3. recode_grid()

polAr 0.1.3.3 Unreleased

Jul 26, 2020: dev version

• Add new computation function compute_disproportion() with 4 alternative formulas.

• Fix minor bug:

1. Modify dims check in compute_seats() to allow computing whether the names of parties have been added explicitly with get_names() or not

2. Add party id variable in compute_seats() output. This allows compute_disproportion() computation workflow.

polAr 0.1.3.2 Unreleased

Jul 5, 2020: dev version

• Added two new functions in previous workflow:

1. get_multiple_elections() helps downloading multiple elections data with only one call.

2. compute_seats() assigns the expected number of seats that a party should get bases on it´s votes.

• Added a new workflow around presidential speeches with three functions:

1. exploring data with show_available_speech()

2. downloading data with get_speech()

3. visualize data with plot_speech()

polAr 0.1.3.1 Unreleased

May 26, 2020: dev version

• Add first version of map_results() function to visualize election data in geographical format with polygons as geometry.

• Minor fix in geofacet plots (aspect.ratio inside ggplot2::theme()).

• Simplify visualization workflow adding get_names() helper function explicitly inside plot_results(), map_results() and tabulate_results() functions.

polAr 0.1.3 2020-05-16

polAr 0.1.2 Unreleased

May 9, 2020: resubmitting whith reviewer changes requests

• Add “cph” to Authors@R in DESCRIPTION

• Fix tabulate_results() output removing it´s printing to console step and keeping it as an object

• Added minimal examples for functions and improved their documentation in Rd files
