Start the 2025 stable versions of at_cascade; see the new Versions table. A release for 2025 has the stable version 2025.0.number where number is the release number. Only bug fixes, not new features, are added between release numbers.

This change has broken old web links to the at_cascade documentation. An old link of the form

has the following form in the latest documentation:

  1. Add child_prior_std_factor_mulcov to the option_fit csv file and shift_prior_std_factor_mulcov to the option_all table.

  2. The computation of the standard deviation for the child priors was using one degree of freedom. This is not correct because we know the true mean of the samples; i.e., the fit value (the number of degrees of freedom should be zero). This has been fixed and the child prior standard deviations that are a factor of \(\sqrt{(N-1)/N}\) smaller where N is the number of samples.

  3. There was a bug in fit_one_process . It sometimes returned on the main branch before all the other processes had finished. This has been fixed. It was found by repeated running of the example/relrisk.py test which uses a large value for max_number_cpu .

The test/csv/fit.py and test/csv/sample_fail.py tests were failing on some systems; see pull request 29 . The failures have has been fixed by not expecting the plot_data.pdf file to exist for (node, sex) pairs that have only one data point.
