v0.3.0 - 2025-11-06

This release adds new pages on the mathematical proof of correctness, discrete-event simulation, and conclusions/feedback, as well as template repositories for structuring work as a package. It fixes the calculation of R time-weighted measures, updates the Python approach to determining warm-up length, and extends all pages to cover all performance metrics. Numerous smaller improvements are also included.

Added

• Template repositories for package structure.
• Mathematical proof of correctness page.
• Discrete-event simulation introductory page.
• Conclusions page.
• Feedback page.

Fixed

• Add correction for R time-weighted measures so last interval is included in calculations.

Changed

• Pages following Performance Measures now use all metrics (and not just two) for Python and R.
• Changed Python approach for determining length of warm-up (previous approach unsuitable when using all metrics).
• Added patient end-time logging to all simulation model pages.
• Upgraded to sim-tools v1.0.0 (Python) and add queueing (R).

Also some minor improvements and refinements, including:

• Extra desk-check suggestions in verification_validation.qmd
• Removed colour variable for R sensitivity plots.
• Expanded and cross-linked stuff on guidelines in sharing/archive.qmd and intro/guidelines.qmd.
• Small corrections in README, docstrings, linting.
• Refactoring tests.
• Clarifications on R data storage, seed sequences, correlated streams, and limitations of structuring research as a package.
• Mentions of MRAN, P3M, commit pinning, data-raw, pins and {targets}.
• Mentioned relevant verification/validation concepts in topic pages.
• Added link to repository renv.lock on environment page.
