Release Notes for 2024#

mm-dd#

03-12#

  1. The dock_dismod_at.sh had the version of dismod_at baked in. This has been changed so that it is no longer necessary to re-build the base image each time the version of dismod_at changes.

  2. Advance dock_dismod_at.sh` to dismod_at-20240310 and at_cascade-2024.3.12.

03-10#

The create_connection would sometimes hang when used with python multiprocessing. The connections have been changed so that they can only be used by One Thread . This seems to have fixed this problem.

02-20#

  1. The build_type was fixed in the base image, instead of the mixed image. This is has been fixed, in addition, all the images double check that they are building the correct version and build type.

  2. Change the page name whats_new_year to just year . This shortens the links to the dismod_at release notes; e.g. , the link:

    https://dismod-at.readthedocs.io/whats_new_2024.html#whats-new-2024-mm-dd-02-14

    changed to:

  1. The user_diabetes.py example was completely re-written. This has been improved in many ways. For example, it is simpler than other examples that simulate data because it uses average_integrand , instead of the simulate_command .

  2. If one uses a rate_eff_cov_table , and they have a lot of nodes and covariates, setting up the interpolation for this covariates can be time consuming. This is now only done for the commands that need this information. This changed the execution time for the init_command or hold_out_command commands from about 30 minutes to about 12 seconds (for one IHME Mexico diabetes estimation case).

  3. Advance dock_dismod_at dismod_at_version to 20240219 (to include the changes above).

02-17#

There were two rows with the value of ode_step_size in the db2csv option.csv file. This has been fixed.

02-14#

  1. Make n_data an adjustable parameter to the speed.py timing tests. Include the hold_out_command in the speed.py timing tests. In addition, separate the elapsed time into the different steps taken by speed.py.

  2. Advance to cppad_mixed-20240214. This fixes a bug in CppAD, which was discovered using the new n_data argument and hold_out commands in speed.py .

01-31#

Add a hold out example to the Batch Command wish list item.

01-28#

In dock_dismod_at.sh advance to dismod_at-20240105 and at_cascade-2024.1.28.

01-05#
