Dear R users, the version 1.0-0 of the package `strucchange' for testing for structural change in linear regression relationships is now available on CRAN. The most important new feature is functionality for dating breaks, i.e., estimating breakpoints in regression relationships. Thus, the package now contains methods for testing, dating and monitoring structural changes. More precisely, the following features have been added: o simultanous estimation of breakpoints by OLS and methods for visualizing these and their confidence intervals o tcltk-based demos for testing and monitoring structural changes: demo(tktesting), demo(tkmonitoring) o new datasets: German M1 money demand, U.S. labor productivity, demographic data about marriages and illegitimate births in Grossarl, Austria o range versions of the OLS-based CUSUM and MOSUM test, alternative boundaries for RE test. o a function for computing the recursive residuals of a linear model is now available. The DESCRIPTION of the package is given below. Best wishes, Achim Zeileis Package: strucchange Version: 1.0-0 Date: 2002-10-28 Title: Testing for Structural Change Author: Achim Zeileis, Friedrich Leisch, Bruce Hansen, Kurt Hornik, Christian Kleiber, Andrea Peters Maintainer: Achim Zeileis <zeileis at ci.tuwien.ac.at> Description: Testing, dating and monitoring of structural change in linear regression relationships. strucchange features tests/methods from the generalized fluctuation test framework as well as from the F test (Chow test) framework. This includes methods to fit, plot and test fluctuation processes (e.g., CUSUM, MOSUM, recursive/moving estimates) and F statistics, respectively. It is possible to monitor incoming data online using fluctuation processes. Finally, the breakpoints in regression models with structural changes can be estimated together with confidence intervals. Emphasis is always given to methods for visualizing the data.
