11.0.1.md

Statistical Methods Library 11.0.1

Release date: 2023-03-08

Synopsis

Remove type validation for columns which are only used for data identification.

Changes

Previously, columns used for data identification (both individual contributors and data grouping) in methods were only allowed to contain strings. This doesn't really make sense since these identification columns are only used in contexts where the type doesn't matter. This release removes these restrictions.

Notes

The effected methods and associated columns (named by method parameter) are as follows:

• Imputation - reference_col and grouping_col
• HT Ratio Estimation - unique_identifier_col, strata_col and calibration_group_col
• Winsorisation - reference_col and grouping_col

This release does not have any impact on method outputs.
