** Major updates: n/a
** Minor updates include: updated the
includeaggregate
flag for the suicide sector inrun_fredi()
andrun_fredi_sv()
, to alert users of an alternative sector aggregation approach to avoid possible double counting with the impacts in the default temperature-related mortality sector; updated R package documentation to reflect updates; updated github page - Additional sectors added - n/a

- New features - n/a
This release corresponds to FrEDI v4.1, which accompanies the publication of the 2024 FrEDI Technical Documentation.
- Bug fixes - n/a
- Updates - ** Major updates: impacts and damages now calculated at the state-level (previously region-level) for all 25 impact-category sectors; FrEDI default max year was changed from 2090 to 2100 ** Minor updates include: updated import_inputs() to accept population datafiles containing U.S. national, contiguous U.S., or U.S. state populations and set temperature values outside the allowed range (<=0C and >= 30C) to zero; updated run_fredi_sv() to accept state-level population inputs; updated R package documentation to reflect new features
- Additional sectors added - n/a
- Documentation fixes - minor updates to account for new default max year and state-level population input formatting features
- New features - FrEDI outputs include damages and impacts at the state-level (48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia) for all 25 impact category sectors; FrEDI default max year was changed from 2090 to 2100
Starting in February 2024, the FrEDI Technical Documentation and v4.0 of the FrEDI R package will be subject to a public review comment period and independent, external peer-review. This release corresponds to FrEDI v4.0.2, the peer-review release version.
- Bug fixes - fixes to GDP input reference in and meta data documentation in run_fredi()
- Updates - ** Major updates include: impacts and damages now calculated at the state-level (previously region-level) for 17 impact-category sectors ** Minor updates include: n/a
- Additional sectors added - n/a
- Documentation fixes - n/a
- New features - FrEDI outputs include damages and impacts at the state-level (48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia) for 17 impact category sectors.
Starting in February 2024, the FrEDI Technical Documentation and v4.0 of the FrEDI R package will be subject to a public review comment period and independent, external peer-review. This release corresponds to FrEDI v4.0.1, the public comment release version.
- Bug fixes - file paths in function documentation for run_fredi(), import_inputs(), and aggregate_impacts(); income elasticity for SLR sectors post-2090 in run_fredi() (no longer dependent on argument elasticity)
- Updates -
** Major updates include: impacts and damages now calculated at the state-level (previously region-level) for 12 impact-category sectors; population inputs for
run_fredi()
now requires state-level population instead of region-level inputs; damage function extrapolation approach for warmer temperatures forrun_fredi()
andrun_fredi_sv()
; default income elasticity (argumentelasticity
inrun_fredi()
) from 0.4 to 1.0; updatedrun_fredi()
user inputs to remove options to calculate present values (argumentspv
,rate
,baseYear
) and add option to output intermediate calculation columns ** Minor updates include:magrittr
pipe operator%>%
to the native pipe operator|>
; Added monitoring of defaultrun_fredi()
parameter use; output columns fromaggregate_impacts
(added columns“sectorprimary”
and“includeaggregate”
for all aggregation levels and added columns“physical_impacts”
,“physicalmeasure”
for all aggregation levels exceptaggLevels=”impacttype”
); removed option to outputrun_fredi_sv()
module results to an Excel template - Documentation fixes - this version corresponds to the February 2024 version of the FrEDI Technical Documentation (see https://www.epa.gov/cira/about-fredi). Function documentation updated to correspond to updates.
