Package smoothtail updated to version 1.1.2 with previous version 1.1.1 dated 2007-10-04

Author: Kaspar Rufibach and Samuel Mueller
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].

Package normwn.test updated to version 1.1 with previous version 1.0 dated 2008-02-21

Author: Peter Wickham
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.

Package modehunt updated to version 1.0.3 with previous version 1.0.2 dated 2008-08-24

Author: Kaspar Rufibach and Guenther Walther
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).
