------------------------------------------------------
29.  ==> 12/13 May. 2015
1. Update rd files to change tabulars to itemize to avoid overflow of rows in pdf.

3. spelling check using the abc command
4. Stzandardize references
Done for all functions

------------------------------------------------------
28.  ==> 24 Apr. 2015
1. ExampleHRF.R added and packed as a function. Contains all the examples from all other functions
2. @Import caret  changed back to @importFrom caret confusionMatrix     in:
   PerformanceHRF, PerformanceFlatRF, PerformanceNewHRF
3. Committ to R-Forge

------------------------------------------------------
27.  ==> 13 Apr. 2015
1.  @aliases removed for plot.HRF, predict.HRF, RunHRF and TuneRF2 to avoid duplicates in help pages
2.  All @ImportFrom to the caret function confusionMatrix where changed to @Import caret:
    PerformanceHRF, PerformanceFlatRF, PerformanceNewHRF

------------------------------------------------------
26.  ==> 25 Feb. 2015
Figures that appear in the help file were copied into a sub folder under:
man/figures/tex/latex
and a path was added and refereshed in MikTEx. 
This is done to solve errors in CMD check tht could not locate the files

------------------------------------------------------
25.  ==> 25 Feb. 2015
In functions using ggplot2, 
arguments such as X.min <- NULL 
were added to avoid CMD check errors:
No visible binding for global variable Note in R CMD check

------------------------------------------------------
24.  ==> 25 Feb. 2015
ggplot2 and randomForest were added under @import in relevant function

------------------------------------------------------
23.  ==> 25 Feb. 2015
An R file conatinaing the roxygen code with package desciption was created 
a small change in the description file

------------------------------------------------------
22.  ==> 23 Feb. 2015
in plot.HRF , the input param:  hie.RF changed to x
in predict.HRF , the input param:  hie.RF changed to object
------------------------------------------------------
21.  ==> 17 Feb. 2015
RandomHRF - now returns NA for train.data or new.data if cases.t.node.train or cases.t.node.new are set to 0.

------------------------------------------------------
20.  ==> 16 Feb. 2015
Figures added to some help files:
  1. formulas for HieFMEasrue
  2. example with a simple hierarchy for PerformanceHRF

------------------------------------------------------
19.  ==> 13 Feb. 2015
in PerformanceFlatHRf
Change to output list
1. train.flat.cas was removed and the observed terminal node was added as one additional column at the end of crisp.case.class
2. The varioues data frame that holds the performance measure are now returned as a single data frame under hie.performance

------------------------------------------------------
18.  ==> 13 Feb. 2015
Function RandomHRF: 
A new param was added:  new.data.observed
If TRUE (defalut is FALSE) the observd hierarchy is added to new.data as well.


------------------------------------------------------
17.  ==> 13 Feb. 2015
PredictNewHRF is now visible- allows predicting the crisp class whent heoserved calss of new data is unavaible and performance measures can not be quantified. 


------------------------------------------------------
16.  ==> 12 Feb. 2015
in PerformanceHRf
Change to output list
1. train.data.acc was removed and the observed terminal node was added as one additional column at the end of crisp.case.class
2. The varioues data frame that holds the performance measure are now returned as a single data frame under hie.performance

------------------------------------------------------
15.  ==> 12 Feb. 2015
OliveOilHie was added as a RData file and its RD documentation created
It is also used in the examples+ provide an example for tuneRF2 (fails for tuneRF)

examples written for:

------------------------------------------------------
