News for R Package robustbase
CHANGES in robustbase VERSION 0.95-0 (2022-04-02, svn r894)
BUG FIXES
* huberM(x, k) now also works in small sample cases with +/-Inf, e.g. for x =
c(-Inf, 1).
NEW FEATURES
* New huberize() utility, notably by default used in mc().
* mc() now by default uses doScale=FALSE in order to guarantee convergence
also in extreme cases when used together with new c.huberize = 1e11. Both
are not back compatible but clearly better in extreme cases, as assessed by
Lukas Graz' BSc thesis. Note that the behavior of the new default doScale=
FALSE has been amended in the C code to be more compatible in its eps
checks with (the previous default) doScale=TRUE.
Lastly, a message() is printed currently, at most once per R session,
whenever mc() is called without an explicit specification of doScale=*,
alerting users to the changed default. This message can be turned off by
setting options(mc_doScale_quiet = TRUE).
* New dataset data(x30o50) as an example of potentially problematic data, not
just for mc().
Misc
* rather "truncating" +/-Inf to <large>, use NA.OK = TRUE in Qn() and Sn()'s
.C() call.
* Our C code no longer uses the DOUBLE_* constants from S, but rather
standard <float.h>.
CHANGES in robustbase VERSION 0.93-9 (2021-09-27, svn r888)
BUG FIXES
* Qn(x) and Sn(x) gain an na.rm = FALSE option and now work when x has NAs
and contains +/- Inf.
Misc
* No longer include 'Rdefines.h' as it is somewhat deprecated.
* In 'src/lmrob.c' add USE_FC_LEN_T and use FCONE rather than the older FCLEN
approach.
