I now have versions of code that is destined (I believe) for 0.63 which is in a suitable state for comment. The files are at ftp://ftp.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/R (Our www server is being moved, so may be intermittently down, but this ftp server should be stable.) All are R packages, for the moment for personal use only (no re-distribution). Use with 0.62.3 or 0.63 (although I am aware of some problems with use with 0.63 that I have reported). aov.tar.gz: ========= aov with Error terms, proj, model.tables, se.contrast, replications, eff.aovlist, C, dummy.coef, add1, drop1, step, kappa, labels. This is in I believe close to final form. modreg.tar.gz: ============ ksmooth Kernel Regression Smoother loess Local Polynomial Regression Fitting loess.control Set Parameters for Loess plot.ppr Plot Ridge Functions for Projection Pursuit Regression Fit ppr Projection Pursuit Regression predict.loess Predict Loess Curve or Surface predict.smooth.spline Predict from Smoothing Spline Fit scatter.smooth Scatter Plot with Smooth Curve Fitted by Loess smooth.spline Fit a Smoothing Spline supsmu Friedmans's SuperSmoother Probably only bug-fixing left, but I would welcome comments about the extent of the loess functionality. lqs.tar.gz: ========= cov.rob Robust Estimation of Multivariate Location and Scatter lqs Resistant Regression by Least Trimmed and Least Quantile Sum of Squares lmsreg, ltsreg, cov.mve Compatibility functions This is much less complete (and the claimed mcd method is not yet operational). Comments please both on the design and from any experts out there on the methodology used. (BTW, as all the programs I have give different answers, it is very hard to establish the true answer. I am fairly convinced that both S-PLUS versions are slightly wrong.) I plan to add S-estimation, a general M-estimator (based on my function rlm) and MM-estimation to this over the next few weeks. While I am posting, a R port of Jim Ramsay's psplines package is also there en route to CRAN, file (pspline_1.0-1.tar.gz) as well as an update of the V&R `R' Complements to 0.62.3. -- Brian D.
