RcppSMC 0.1.2

Late last week, and just before leaving to participate in this crazy thing, I managed to get a new version of RcppSMC onto CRAN.

RcppSMC combines the SMCTC template classes for Sequential Monte Carlo and Particle Filters (Johansen, 2009, JSS) with the Rcpp package for R/C++ Integration (Eddelbuettel and Francois, 2011, JSS) and thereby allows for easier and more direct access from R to the computational core of the Sequential Monte Carlo algorithm.

This release regroups a few minor changes we accumulated over the last few months, but was triggered by the Rcpp 0.11.0 release last week.

The NEWS entry is below:

Changes in RcppSMC version 0.1.2 (2014-02-06)

• Updated for Rcpp 0.11.0 with explicit importFrom in NAMESPACE and corresponding versioned Imports: in DESCRIPTION; also removed linking instruction from src/Makevars as no it is longer needed with this new Rcpp version

• Addded GitHub / Travis CI support

• Use more portable dev.new() rather than x11() in pfLinearBS.R

• Applied some corrections to pfNonlinBS.R example

• Converted NEWS to NEWS.Rd

Courtesy of CRANberries, there is also a diffstat report relative to the previous release. As always, more detailed information is on the RcppSMC page,
