PNADCperiods 0.1.2
CRAN
policy compliance (response to Brian Ripley, 2026-04-26)
- Internet-using functions now fail gracefully with an informative
message() (no warning(), no
stop()) and return NULL invisibly when the
SIDRA API is unreachable or returns an unexpected schema. Affects
fetch_monthly_population(),
fetch_sidra_rolling_quarters(), and
pnadc_apply_periods() (which falls back to returning the
data with the crosswalk applied but no calibrated weights when SIDRA is
unavailable).
- New mocked-API tests (
testthat::local_mocked_bindings)
verify the graceful-failure behaviour offline.
- Test suite no longer depends on the SIDRA API: 22 calibration and
pipeline tests now use locally-constructed
target_totals
mocks instead of fetching live SIDRA population data.
Bug fixes —
mensalize_sidra_series()
- Trailing
NA in the rolling-quarter input (e.g., when
IBGE has published IPCA/INPC for a month but not yet the corresponding
PNADC rolling quarter) no longer produces phantom mensalized values that
silently echoed the value of the same mesnotrim position
three months earlier. The mask now zeros out only trailing positions
after the last observed rq, leaving leading positions
intact.
- IPCA lag is pre-computed before the PNADC filter is applied,
removing contamination of starting points by future-IPCA
observations.
- INPC lag is pre-computed in
compute_series_starting_points(), with test coverage for
derived-series propagation through aggregates.
Documentation
- README, vignettes and pkgdown navbar updated to recommend
install.packages("PNADCperiods") now that the package is on
CRAN.
PNADCperiods 0.1.1
CRAN resubmission
- Expanded all acronyms in DESCRIPTION (IBGE, SIDRA, UPA, API)
- Added Hecksher (2020) reference with URL
- Replaced
\dontrun{} with \donttest{} for
API examples; created runnable examples for
validate_pnadc() and
get_sidra_series_metadata()
- Fixed missing
anchor parameter in
compute_starting_points_from_microdata()
- Removed
.onLoad that globally set
data.table thread count
- Added
skip_on_cran() to all API-dependent tests
- Added
fst to Suggests

Initial CRAN release
Microdata period
identification
pnadc_identify_periods(): Build crosswalk mapping
survey observations to months, fortnights, and weeks using IBGE’s
technical break rules and respondent birthdates.

weights to SIDRA population totals with adaptive hierarchical cell
definitions.
pnadc_experimental_periods(): Probabilistic assignment
