Package logcondens updated to version 1.3.2 with previous version 1.3.1 dated 2007-10-04

Author: Kaspar Rufibach and Lutz Duembgen
Title: Estimate a Log-Concave Probability Density from iid Observations
Description: Given independent and identically distributed observations X(1), ..., X(n), this package allows to compute a concave, piecewise linear function phi on [X(1), X(n)] with knots only in {X(1), X(2), ..., X(n)} such that L(phi) = sum_{i=1}^n W(i)*phi(X(i)) - int_{X(1)}^{X(n)} exp(phi(x)) dx is maximal, for some weights W(1), ..., W(n) s.t. sum_{i=1}^n W(i) = 1. According to the results in Duembgen and Rufibach (2008), this function phi maximizes the ordinary log-likelihood sum_{i=1}^n W(i)*phi(X(i)) under the constraint that phi is concave. The corresponding function exp(phi) is a log-concave probability density. Two algorithms are offered: An active set algorithm and one based on the pool-adjacent-violaters algorithm.

Package kappalab updated to version 0.4-3 with previous version 0.4-1 dated 2007-12-07

Author: Michel Grabisch, Ivan Kojadinovic, Patrick Meyer.
Title: Non-additive measure and integral manipulation functions
Description: Kappalab, which stands for "laboratory for capacities", is an S4 tool box for capacity (or non-additive measure, fuzzy measure) and integral manipulation on a finite setting. It contains routines for handling various types of set functions such as games or capacities. It can be used to compute several non-additive integrals: the Choquet integral, the Sugeno integral, and the symmetric and asymmetric Choquet integrals. An analysis of capacities in terms of decision behavior can be performed through the computation of various indices such as the Shapley value, the interaction index, the orness degree, etc. The well-known Möbius transform, as well as other equivalent representations of set functions can also be computed. Kappalab further contains seven capacity identification routines: three least squares based approaches, a method based on linear programming, a maximum entropy like method based on variance minimization, a minimum distance approach and an unsupervised approach grounded on parametric entropies. The functions contained in Kappalab can for instance be used in the framework of multicriteria decision making or cooperative game theory.

Package FitAR updated to version 1.71 with previous version 1.7 dated 2008-06-25

Author: A.I. McLeod and Ying Zhang
Title: Subset AR Model Fitting
Description: Complete functions are given for model identification, estimation and diagnostic checking for AR and subset AR models. Two types of subset AR models are supported. One family of subset AR models, denoted by ARp, is formed by taking subet of the original AR coefficients and in the other, denoted by ARz, subsets of the partial autocorrelations are used. The main advantage of the ARz model is its applicability to very large order models.
