Parameters to be passed to the new function versions

Details

Many functions have become deprecated as of popdemo_1.0-0 (meaning they will stop working at some point in the future). In most cases, this is because functions needed to be re-named. For now the older function names will work but issue a warning, but you should use the new function names wherever possible. Please update your code, and I'm sorry for the inconvenience!

Avoiding S3 troubles

Most deprecated functions needed to be renamed because they included a period in the function name: the new function names don't use periods, which is a better approach for playing nicely with the S3 object-oriented system (see Hadley Wickham's OO field guide for more info). These are:

Cohen.cumulative	now called CohenD
convergence.time	now called convt
inertia.tfa	now called tfa_inertia
inertia.tfamatrix	now called tfam_inertia
inertia.tfsens	now called tfs_inertia
inertia.tfsensmatrix	now called tfsm_inertia
is.matrix_ergodic	now called isErgodic
is.matrix_irreducible	now called isIrreducible
is.matrix_primitive	now called isPrimitive
Keyfitz.delta	now called KeyfitzD
projection.distance	now called projectionD

Consistency

Some other functions have been renamed to keep consistency with new functions, and also to further avoid problems with S3 methods by making sure classes and functions don't have the same names:

tfa	now called tfa_lambda
tfamatrix	now called tfam_lambda
tfsens	now called tfs_lambda
tfsensmatrix	now called tfsm_lambda

Hidden functions

Some functions have been made internal (they're "hidden" but you can still use them):

minCS	now called .minCS
tf	now called .tf

Merged functions

Two functions are deprecated because they have been merged into one:

reactivity,firststepatt	now handled by reac.

Before, reactivity handled first-timestep amplification and firststepatt handled first-timestep attenuation. This is silly, because a projection EITHER amplifies OR attenuates in the first timestep. Desptite the semantics, reac now deals with both amplification and attenuation in the first timestep, everything that was calculable in the previous two functions is also calculable in the one new function.
