[R] [R-pkgs] New package versions for distr- and robast- families
------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ New versions 2.3 of our distr-family of packages are now available on CRAN. (i.e.; startupmsg, SweaveListingUtils, distr, distrEx, distrDoc, distrEllipse, distrMod, distrSim, distrTEst, distrTeach) Most importantly, we have included: + a quasi-MC trick by Nataliya Horbenko to better produce image distributions under complicated, not necessarily monotone transformations + enhanced function qqplot + (enhanced) support for GEV distribution + new functional kMad + as well as several bug fixes For more details see the corresponding NEWS files (e.g. news(package = "distr") or using function NEWS from package startupmsg i.e. NEWS("distr")). We are looking forward to getting your RFEs, bug reports or simple feedback, Best, Peter, Matthias, Nataliya ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ New versions 0.8 of our RobASt-family of packages are now available on CRAN. (i.e.; RandVar, RobAStBase, ROptEst, RobLox, ROptEstOld, ROptEstTS, RobRex, RobLoxBioC) Most importantly, we have included: + a quasi-MC trick by Nataliya Horbenko to better produce random variables under complicated not necessarily monotone transformations + enhanced functions infoPlot, (plots relative information used for coordinates of a parameter estimator) ddPlot, (distance-distance plot) cniperPointPlot, (cniper concept for seemingly harmless contamination behavior) qqplot (now gets outlier corrected versions) + new risks: asAnscombe, asL1, asL4 for asymptotic L1 L4 risk, and optimal bias robust estimator, to given efficiency loss in ideal model + new helper methods makeIC to apply to functions or list of functions for easily producing (suboptimal) ICs + new function getReq for two ICs IC1 and IC2 to compute a radius interval where IC1 is better than IC2 acc. to G-Risk + new function getMaxIneff() to compute, for any IC of class 'IC', the maximal inefficiency for radius r varying in [0,Inf) + as well as several bug fixes For more details see the corresponding NEWS files (e.g. news(package = "RobAStBase") or using function NEWS from package startupmsg i.e. NEWS("RobAStBase")). We are looking forward to getting your RFEs, bug reports or simple feedback, Best, Peter, Matthias, Nataliya ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Dr. Peter Ruckdeschel, Abteilung Finanzmathematik, F3.17 Fraunhofer ITWM, Fraunhofer Platz 1, 67663 Kaiserslautern Telefon: +49 631/31600-4699 Fax : +49 631/31600-5699 E-Mail : peter.ruckdeschel at itwm.fraunhofer.de _______________________________________________ R-packages mailing list R-packages at r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-packages
