version 5.0
- Expands data to 1980-2021 (previously it covered 2002-2020).
- All the data was converted to HS12 from the original SITC2, HS92, HS02, HS07 and HS12 sources.
version 4.5
- Reflects changes in the API and therefore reads JSON data.
- Continues to use data.table for the internals and tibble to display the results nicely.
- Future versions will only use tibble but that would require effort.
version 4.2
Updates * Adds dyadic distances table (ots_distances) for gravity modelling
Breaking changes * The API now returns Parquet files instead of JSON for all the cases (except for available years and tables) * All the tests were adapted to reflect changes in the DB (i.e., the test “multiple country match = error” no longer returns an error because there are no two codes for Germany in 2002-2020) * The command use_localhost was removed because the Shiny app now connects directly to PostgreSQL (i.e., this saves resources) * The column EU-28 member was removed from the countries table (i.e., avoid UK confusion after Brexit)
version 4.1
Updates * Uses GDP deflator to convert dollars from one year to another (previously it used reported inflation) Breaking changes * New port for local instance (8080 -> 4949)
version 4.0
Updates * Provides ysrpc table to visualize products, replacing yc tables. * The new default option is to download imputed data, as there is no direct API access to raw data. * A new method to correct import/exports mismatches was applied and the datasets now start from 1980 until I test enough the model results for older years. * Drops yr-sections and yr-groups tables * Drops ‘group’ columns in the final data (and replaces it for ‘section’ columns) * Allows to access both raw and imputed data from the API * Allows to search for special codes in the API (i.e., e-490 and other codes) * All these changes have resulted in large speedups with both data downloading and the Open Trade Statistics dashboard
Breaking changes * Most of the tables in the API were renamed, as now I made available an imputation method to remove transportation costs (and correct mismatching flows)
version 3.0.3
Minor fixes * Adds attributes to parquet tables (i.e., it now does the joins to add product name, section color, etc.)
Updates * Uses “_name” instead of “_fullname_english” in final tables colnames
version 3.0.2
CRAN release: 2022-03-01
Updates * Allows to obtain tables in Parquet format from the API, giving a speed-up of ~50% for the final user. * Uses tibble instead of DT to produce lighter vignettes
version 3.0.1
Updates * Adds section colors data for visualization, this is taken from the palette used in shiny.tradestatistics.io
Version 3.0
Updates * Removes all references to tables using communities or short names (both unofficial), reflecting changes in the API * The functionality remains the same, but now the end user functions don’t add a 21-colors palette to the data (i.e. see the data section)
Data
- Switches from HS92 to HS12 to reflect product changes with less aggregation
- Drops any data from Harvard (communities and short product names) as these depend on using HS92 4 digits, therefore the color palettes were removed as these depended on the communities table
- The inflation data was trimmed to a window since the year 2000
- The commodities data now contains information for +5000 products instead of +1200 as the aggregation level changed in the API
- Adds RTAs and MFN tariffs for gravity modelling
Version 2.0
Updates
- Uses ISO codes as is (affects Aruba, Roumania, Timor-Leste, Antarctica, Saint Barthelemy, Curacao, Sint Maarten and South Sudan)
Version 1.0
CRAN release: 2020-04-03
Updates
- Reflects API changes with less aggregated data
- Follows UN COMTRADE notation (i.e. commodity instead of product)
- Does not impute data before hand, which is better for most of gravity models use cases
- Provides the data exactly as in the API, returning commodity level data to allow users to do their own aggregation
- Does not drop reference year with inflation adjustment (https://github.com/ropensci/tradestatistics/issues/38)
- Takes max and min available years from the API instead of hardcoded values (https://github.com/ropensci/tradestatistics/pull/39)
Version 0.4.0
Updates
- Includes
yrpc-ga,yrpc-sa,yrc-gaandyr-satables reflecting API updates - Simplifies end-user functions a bit (i.e. removes
include_groupsoption) - Optimizes the code a bit, specially at the joins with tables in the package
- Fixes codes duplication when both product and group/community match for a search
- Includes both official and shortened section names
Version 0.3
Updates
- Much improved coverage to detect almost any possible error
- Fixes case in inflation adjustment when year = reference year
Version 0.2.8
Updates
- Adds caching (in memory or on disk) option (partial contributions from
- Includes forwards and backwards testing for inflation adjustment
- Testing for in memory caching
Version 0.2.7
CRAN release: 2019-12-04
Updates
- Adds feedback provided by @danidlsa
- Now ots_create_tidy_data() has both reporter and partner set to “all” by default
Version 0.2.5
CRAN release: 2019-09-19
Updates
- Added dependency on R >= 3.5.0 because serialized objects in serialize/load version 3 cannot be read in older versions of R
- Minimal changes in
ots_create_tidy_data()to allow multiple countries as arguments, in line with API changes from September 2019
Version 0.2.4
CRAN release: 2019-09-17
Updates
- Removes
product_code_length - The API was updated with simplified parameters and 2018 data
Version 0.2.3
CRAN release: 2019-08-28
Updates
- Fixtures for testthat evaluation
Fixes
- Specific Windows error during check
Version 0.2.1
Fixes
- Consistent use of colour vs color, color is used from now
- Fixed available tables description
- Adds
yrp_shortto available tables - Adds
use_localhostoption for our own server or users who want to clone the database locally, therefore avoid having a separate branh for server installation
