Dear all,
Census 2.01 has been released for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux! Windows and Mac
binary installation packages, as well as the source code, are available for
immediate download at http://sourceforge.net/projects/census2/, as usual, and
limited documentation is provided at http://census2.sourceforge.net (although
this site appears to be quite slow at the moment).
This version adds minor bug fixes to version 2.0, which added basic PsN
support, run record export (HTML, CSV and LaTeX) and parameter tables (HTML and
LaTeX), and corrected bugs in $OMEGA and $SIGMA initial estimates, zipped run
archive preparation, mixture model interpretation, and errors in parameter
label import.
Census 2 is a comprehensive project manager for NONMEM 7.2 and above, providing
detailed summary, comparison and overview of the runs comprising a given
project, including the display of output data and post-run processing. The new
version is a complete rewrite of Census from the ground up, using free and open
source development tools (Lazarus and FPC - more information at
http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org). In addition to adding cross-platform
support, Census 2 incorporates a number of interface changes, including
flexible run tagging and filtering, report output in HTML and LaTeX, a portable
database file format (Census databases are now single files, rather than
folders), full support for NONMEM 7.2 (including support for multiple
estimation steps), and too many others to mention.
It should be noted that Census 2 is a completely new application, and has few
links to Census 1.x (which has been put on development hiatus for the time
being, owing to time limitations). Also, Census 2 only supports versions of
NONMEM that produce XML output, which means that NONMEM V, VI and earlier
version of 7.x are not supported (although this may change in the future -
please let me know if this is a feature you need).
Census 2 is, and will remain, free software under the GNU Lesser General Public
License, version 3.0. Comments, criticisms, and suggestions are welcome. If you
would like to help with the development of Census 2, please contact me. Thanks
and appreciation to my colleagues at Exprimo for beta testing!
Best regards
Justin
