Package smoothtail updated to version 1.1.3 with previous version 1.1.2 dated 2008-08-25

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 party updated to version 0.9-997 with previous version 0.9-996 dated 2009-03-27

Author: Torsten Hothorn, Kurt Hornik, Carolin Strobl and Achim Zeileis
Title: A Laboratory for Recursive Partytioning
Description: A computational toolbox for recursive partitioning. The core of the package is ctree(), an implementation of conditional inference trees which embed tree-structured regression models into a well defined theory of conditional inference procedures. This non-parametric class of regression trees is applicable to all kinds of regression problems, including nominal, ordinal, numeric, censored as well as multivariate response variables and arbitrary measurement scales of the covariates. Based on conditional inference trees, cforest() provides an implementation of Breiman's random forests. The function mob() implements an algorithm for recursive partitioning based on parametric models (e.g. linear models, GLMs or survival regression) employing parameter instability tests for split selection. Extensible functionality for visualizing tree-structured regression models is available.
