CHANGES in robustbase VERSION 0.93-8 (2021-06-01, svn r879):
NEW FEATURES:
* 'scaleTau2()' gets new optional 'iter = 1' and 'tol.iter'
arguments; mostly experimentally to see if or when iteration
makes sense.
* 'Qn(x, *)' gets new optional 'k = .' to indicate the
"quantile" i.e., order statistic to be computed (with
default as previously hard-coded).
Experimentally to try for cases where more than n/2
observations coincide (with the median), i.e., 'x[i] == x0
== median(x[])', and hence 'Qn(x)' and 'mad(x)' are zero.
* 'adjOutlyingness()' gets new option 'IQRtype = 7'.
Tweaks:
* For tests: *again* differences found in the non-sensical
'adjOutlyingness()' example (with large p/n, hence many
"random" values in the order of 1e15). Disable the test for
now (and record the result in *.Rout).
BUG FIXES:
* The 'test()' utility in 'tests/lmrob-ex12.R' no longer calls
'matrix(x, n,4)' where the length of x does not match '4n'.
Similar change in 'tests/mc-strict.R'
CHANGES in robustbase VERSION 0.93-7 (2021-01-03, svn r865):
NEW FEATURES:
* Use '\CRANpkg{.}' in most places, providing web links to the
respective CRAN package page.
* 'adjOutlyingness()' now gains optional parameters to be
passed to 'mc()'.
BUG FIXES:
* update the internal man page, so new 'checkRdContents()' is
happy.
* fix several '\url{.}''s that now are diagnosed as 'moved'.
* 'adjOutlyingness()' finally works with 'p.samp > p'.
* 'scaleTau2()' now works with 'Inf' and very large values,
and obeys new 'na.rm = FALSE' argument.
* add 'check.environment=FALSE' to some of the 'all.equal()'
calls (for 'R-devel', i.e., future R 4.1.x).
* 'wgt.himedian(numeric())' now returns 'NA' instead of
occasionally seg.faulting or inf.looping. Ditto for a case
when called from 'Qn()'.
CHANGES in robustbase VERSION 0.93-6 (2020-03-20, svn r854):
NEW FEATURES:
* 'splitFrame()' now treats 'character' columns also as
categorical (the same as 'factor's).
Tweaks:
* Small updates, also in checks for newer compiler settings,
e.g., 'FCLEN' macro; also F77_*() etc, in order to fix 'LTO'
issues.
* More careful or _less_ calling 'intpr()': correct "Rank" of
array (for gfortran/gcc 10, when '-fallow-argument-mismatch'
is not set).
"Essential" Robust Statistics. Tools allowing to analyze data with
robust methods. This includes regression methodology including model
selections and multivariate statistics where we strive to cover the
book "Robust Statistics, Theory and Methods" by 'Maronna, Martin and
Yohai'; Wiley 2006.
