Title: Smooth Estimation of GPD Shape Parameter
Description: Given independent and identically distributed observations X(1), ..., X(n) from a Generalized Pareto
distribution with shape parameter gamma in [-1,0], this package offers several estimates to compute estimates of gamma.
The estimates are based on the principle of replacing the order statistics by quantiles of a distribution
function based on a log--concave density function. This procedure is justified by the fact that the GPD density
is log--concave for gamma in [-1,0].

Title: Normality and White Noise Testing
Description: Includes Omnibus Univariate and Multivariate Normality
Tests (See Doornik and Hansen (1994). One variation allows for the possiblity of weak dependence rather than independence in the variable(s). Also included is an univariate white noise test where the null hypothesis is for "white noise" rather than "strict white
noise". The package deals with similar approaches to testing as
the "nortest","moments",and "mvnormtest" packages in R.

Title: Multiscale Analysis for Density Functions
Description: Given independent and identically distributed observations X(1), ..., X(n) from a density f,
this package provides five methods to perform a multiscale analysis about f as well as the necessary critical
values. The first method, introduced in Duembgen and Walther (2008), provides simultaneous confidence statements
for the existence and location of local increases (or decreases) of f, based on all intervals I(all) spanned by
any two observations X(j), X(k). The second method approximates the latter approach by using only a subset of
I(all) and is therefore computationally much more efficient, but asymptotically equivalent. Omitting the additive
correction term Gamma in either method offers another two approaches which are more powerful on small scales and
less powerful on large scales, however, not asymptotically minimax optimal anymore. Finally, the block procedure is a
compromise between adding Gamma or not, having intermediate power properties. The latter is again asymptotically
equivalent to the first and was introduced in Rufibach and Walther (2007).
