Log message:
(math/R-robustbase) Updated 0.99.0 to 0.99.4.1

CHANGES in robustbase VERSION 0.99-4-1 (2024-09-25, svn 1006):
  Misc:
         * small changes in 'tests/lmrob-psifns.R' and '*.Rout.save',
           notably avoiding small diffs on "M1mac" and "noLD"
           ('--disable-long-double').

CHANGES in robustbase VERSION 0.99-4 (2024-08-19, svn 1002):
  NEW FEATURES:
         * 'lmrob.fit()' gets new option 'bare.only' for some speed up,
           in case a relatively "bare" result is sufficient.

  Misc:
         * fix another LaTeX no more wanting math in section titles
           (same problem as 0.99-3), now for 'lmrob_simulation.Rnw'.
           Now also use \texorpdfstring inside \title{} of
           'psi_functions.Rnw' _and_ use newtheorem{..} _after_
           \hypersetup{...} (thanks to Kurt).

         * avoid some 'ggplot2' warnings (about omitting obs.)
         * do not warn about skipping equilibration for p=1.
         * define 'STRICT_R_HEADERS' now (src/*.[ch]).

CHANGES in robustbase VERSION 0.99-3 (2024-07-01, svn r992):
  Misc:
         * Again adapt '../vignettes/lmrob_simulation.Rnw' to 'ggplot2'
           changes (' s/ fun.y / fun / ').

         * 'tests/subsample.R' now shows "Matrix" info (as that gave
           confusing error during Matrix / R-devel changes).

         * Latest LaTeX does not like math in \section{.}; hence
           replacing \psi by \texorpdfstring{$\psi$}{psi}.

CHANGES in robustbase VERSION 0.99-2 (2024-01-27, svn r989):
  BUG FIXES:
         * fix thinko bug introduced exact fit checking in 0.99-0;
           thanks to the report by Thomas Mang.

CHANGES in robustbase VERSION 0.99-1 (2023-11-28, svn r988):
  Misc:
         * document the '...' argument(s) of 'nlrob.control()'.
         * 'DESCRIPTION': more URLSs.
         * '*.Rd' tweaks; avoiding other NOTEs.
         * 'src/lmrob.c,mc.c,monitor.c': format %lld etc

Log message:
(math/R-robustness) Updated 0.95.1 to 0.99.0

CHANGES in robustbase VERSION 0.99-0 (2023-06-12, svn r928):

  NEW FEATURES:

         * In case it finds an _exact fit_, i.e., k > n/2 residuals are
           (practically) zero, 'lmrob.S()' now returns that, 'scale =
           0', and robustness weights 'weights(., "robustness")' which
           are either 0 or 1 quickly and more consistently.

           This is _not yet_ satisfactorily working for the "large n"
           case.

           **** *TODO*: Optionally (but off by default?? for back
           compatibility??), 'lmrob()' initialized by such an exact-fit
           estimator may use a (user-specified or automatic) scale s^ >
           0 to continue providing efficient SM / MM estimates.

         * 'lmrob.control()' gets class '"lmrobCtrl"' which can be
           'print()'ed and 'update()'d.

         * New tuning const 'zero.scale = 1e-10' instead of hardwired
           'EPS_ZERO' in 'lmrob.S()''s C code; additionally the exact
           fit / zero-residuals checking is finally y-scale
           equivariant, using 1/n ||y||_1 = 'mean(abs(y))'.

  BUG FIXES:

         * Fixed 'covMcd()': corrected the consistency correction
           factor for the reweighted estimate: was MCDCons(p,
           sum(w)/n), now is MCDCons(p, 0.975), see Croux and
           Haesbroeck (1999).

           Consequently, often 'covMcd()' and estimates based on it,
           such as 'BYlogreg()' or 'ltsReg()' are slightly changed.

         * registered 'residuals.lmrob.S' _and_ changed 'formals'
           compatible with generic to '(object, ...)'.

         * 'lmrob.S()' in C level 'refine_fast_s()' no longer modifies
           'beta_cand[]' which notably fixes a bug found in exact-fit
           examples previously resulting in 'coef() == 0' "results",
           also for 'lmrob()' which calls 'lmrob.S()' for its default
           initial estimate.

         * 'print(<lmrob.S>)' finally works again as intended (_not_
           printing a largish list); mostly by fixing internal
           'lmrob.control.minimal()'.

         * 'summary.lmrob(obj)' now also gets a 'weights' component
           from 'obj' if that is non-trivial; this may also correct
           'summary()' output in weighted cases.

         * Minor fixes in 'plot.lts()' related to par mfrow.

         * ltsReg() Help file changed - the note strongly advising NOT
           to use LTS regression removed.

  Misc:

         * argument 'mf' e.g., in 'lmrob.fit()' has been deprecated
           since 2017-12-09 and is defunct now.

         * 'lmrob()' tweaks, notably saying more for 'trace.lev >= 3'.

         * replaceed (almost) all 'Calloc()' by 'R_alloc()' in C code;
           e.g., prevents leakage from user interrupt.

Log message:
(math/R-robustbase) Updated 0.95.0 to 0.95.1

CHANGES in robustbase VERSION 0.95-1 (2023-03-28, svn r903):

  BUG FIXES:

         * Fixed 'covMcd()': 'raw.only=TRUE' does not work in the case
           'nsamp="deterministic"'

  NEW FEATURES:

         * New 'lmc()' and 'rmc()' for robust tail weight ("robust
           kurtosis").

  Misc:

         * Our 'tests/*.R' no longer rely on the 'Matrix'
           'test-tools.R' collection but rather use our much smaller
           own one in 'xtraR/test-tools.R'.

         * fixed '\' escape in 'man/aircraft.Rd'.

         * initialize equed in 'src/lmrob.c' to avoid false positive
           compiler warning.

         * document "internal" '.regularize.Mpsi()'.

         * replace '()' by '(void)' arguments for 'F77_SUB(println)'.

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.

Log message:
(math/R-robustbase) Updated 0.93.5 to 0.93.8

(R CMD Rdconv -t txt math/R-robustbase/work/robustbase/inst/NEWS.Rd)
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).
