R devel - Dec 2001 - ifs estimator

Hy all,

I have written a small library that provide a new distribution function 
estimator based on IFS (that are essentially fractals).

I would be pleased if any of you can build hte library for Unix-type 
machines and Windows implementations with the included makefiles as a 
Mac library is already working. As I'm not able to test these platforms 
any modification to makefiles is welcome.

I have put something (src and Monte Carlo results) at

http://159.149.74.117/~web/R/ifs/

This is a very preliminary release of the library and only the basic 
estimator is contained in it. We (me and D. La Torre) are working on 
smarter estimators and also on density estimators.

On that page there is also some theory on the subject at a very 
preliminary stage as a full paper will follow in 2002.

thank you for your attention and I wish you an happy new year.

			Stefano

I had to change DESCRIPTION.in (this is for R standard
 packages!!) to DESCRIPTION
{and then you don't need a TITLE file anymore).

Also the file permissions were wrong in quite a few places, you
had extra executable permission on simple text files.

(fine).

Note that I would recommend using a tests/ subdirectory
where you'd put some of the code currently in your (separately
packaged) ifs demo.

After the above changes, `R CMD check' only reports two
remaining problem groups :

1)
 >> * checking Rd files ... WARNING
 >> *  non-standard keyword(s) in `man/ifs.Rd': distribution function
estimation

Note that you must choose from <RHOME>/doc/KEYWORDS

2)

 >>   * checking for undocumented objects ... WARNING
 >>   [1] "phi"    "SM.IFS"
 
 {you have to decide what to do here}.

The same to you and all other R-develers!
