RESIDE 0.4.0 (2026-09-30)

export_empty_cor_matrix() and import_cor_matrix() are defunct, correlations are now specified using the correlations parameter of synthesise_data() with the new correlation() function.
The correlation_matrix parameter of synthesise_data() is no longer supported.
synthesise_data() returns a named list of data frames for marginals obtained from multiple data frames.
Requires R >= 4.1.0.

Marginal distributions can be obtained from multiple related data frames, linked by a subject identifier, using get_marginal_distributions().
correlation() creates a correlation between two variables, categorical variables are correlated using a single category (factor_name.x / factor_name.y) and variables of multiple data frames using df_name, df_name.x and df_name.y, including correlations between data frames.
summary() method for RESIDE objects, a higher level summary than print().
print() shows the 10 most common categories of each categorical variable, use print(x, full = TRUE) to print every category.
New vignette, a worked example using multiple tables from the pharmaversesdtm package.

synthesise_data() keeps whitespace in categories.
synthesise_data() maintains the number of subjects of each data frame.
Categorical marginal distributions are maintained when synthesising with correlations.
