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.
