A new release 0.2.7 of our RcppSMC package arrived at
CRAN earlier today. It contains
several extensions added by team member (and former GSoC student) Ilya Zarubin since the last
release. We were a little slow to release those—but “one of those CRAN
emails” forced our hand for a release now. The updated ‘uninitialized
variable’ messages in clang++-16 have found a fan in Brian
Ripley, and so he sent us a note. And as the issue was trivially
reproducible with clang++-15 here too I had it fixed in no
time. And both changes taken together form the incremental 0.2.7
release.
RcppSMC provides Rcpp-based bindings to R for the Sequential Monte Carlo Template Classes (SMCTC) by Adam Johansen described in his JSS article. Sequential Monte Carlo is also referred to as Particle Filter in some contexts. The package now also features the Google Summer of Code work by Leah South in 2017, and by Ilya Zarubin in 2021.
The release is summarized below.
Changes in RcppSMC version 0.2.7 (2023-03-22)
Courtesy of my CRANberries, there is a diffstat report for this release.
More information is on the RcppSMC page. Issues and bugreports should go to the GitHub issue tracker.
