    • _h2oframe baselevel sets the base level of a categorical column in the current H2O frame.
    • _h2oframe recodelevel assigns new levels of a categorical column in the current H2O frame.
  1. mi impute would apply option log or nolog set by set iterlog even for models without iteration logs, resulting in unexpected errors. This has been fixed. Now option log or nolog is applied only for models with iteration logs.
  2. xtdpd with option lgmmiv(varlist, lag(#)) using time data with gaps could issue error message “DPD error in calculating columns” and exit with return code r(9999). This has been fixed.
