Package termstrc updated to version 1.3.5 with previous version 1.3.4 dated 2010-11-22

Title: Zero-coupon Yield Curve Estimation
Description: The package offers a wide range of functions for term structure estimation based on static and dynamic coupon bond and yield data sets. The implementation focuses on the cubic splines approach of McCulloch (1971, 1975) and the Nelson and Siegel (1987) method with extensions by Svensson (1994), Diebold and Li (2006) and De Pooter (2007). We propose a weighted constrained optimization procedure with analytical gradients and a globally optimal start parameter search algorithm. Extensive summary statistics and plots are provided to compare the results of the different estimation methods. Several demos are available using data from European government bonds and yields.

New package kSamples with initial version 1.0
Package: kSamples
Type: Package
Title: K-Sample Rank Tests and their Combinations
Version: 1.0
Date: 2012-08-31
Authors@R: c(person("Fritz", "Scholz",role=c("aut","cre"),email = "fscholz@uw.edu"), person("Angie", "Zhu", role=c("aut","cre"), email= "angiezh@u.washington.edu"))
Author: Fritz Scholz and Angie Zhu
Maintainer: Fritz Scholz
Depends: SuppDists
Description: Compares k samples using the Anderson-Darling test, Kruskal-Wallis type tests with different rank score criteria, and Steel's multiple comparison test. It computes asymptotic, simulated or (limited) exact P-values, all valid under randomization, with or without ties, or conditionally under random sampling from populations, given the observed tie pattern. Except for Steel's test it also combines these tests across several blocks of samples. Also analyzed are 2 x t contingency tables and their blocked combinations using the Kruskal-Wallis criterion. Steel's test is inverted to provide simultaneous confidence bounds for shift parameters. A plotting function shows that asymptotic approximations for small sample sizes provide only very limited utility when comparing tail probabilities with those obtained via simulation or exact calculations.

Package GB2 updated to version 1.1 with previous version 1.0 dated 2011-01-06

Title: Generalized Beta Distribution of the Second Kind: properties, likelihood, estimation.
Description: GB2 is a simple package that explores the Generalized Beta distribution of the second kind. Density, cumulative distribution function, quantiles and moments of the distributions are given. Functions for the full log-likelihood, the profile log-likelihood and the scores are provided. Formulae for various indicators of inequality and poverty under the GB2 are implemented. The GB2 is fitted using the methods of maximum pseudo-likelihood estimation using the full and profile log-likelihood, and non-linear least squares estimation of the model parameters. Various plots for the vizualization and analysis of the results are provided. Variance estimation of the parameters is provided for the method of maximum pseudo-likelihood estimation. A compound distribution based on the GB2 is presented. This compound distribution can be calculated by a left or right tail decomposition. Density, cumulative distribution function, moments and quantiles for the compound distribution can be calculated. The compound distribution is fitted using the method of maximum likelihood estimation. The fit can be also adapted for the use of auxiliary information.

Package DynClust updated to version 1.1 with previous version 1.0 dated 2012-08-30

Title: non-parametric denoising and clustering method of noisy images both indexed by time and space
Description: Two-stage method for the denoising and clustering of stack of noisy images acquired over time, based on the simple assumption that a finite sequence of noisy images both indexed by time and space is composed of noisy versions of only a limited amount of dynamic features. The aim of the method is first to denoise signals using both the spatial and temporal information contained in the data, and then cluster the denoised signals depending on their dynamic features. Two signals are considered to have similar features if their difference does not significantly deviate from zero. By comparing difference signals, no assumption is therefore made on the shape of the theoretical signals. In order for the method to be applicable to experimental data, the data should be normally distributed (or at least follow a symmetric distribution) with a constant variance. Also the number of observations n must be of the form n=d^2. Moreover, the method is based on the implicit assumption that, for a given data set, almost each dynamic feature is present in two or more pixels. The use of the method can be time consumming depending on the size of the data-array (for example about 2 hours for 130x175x60 data set on a PC dual core processor 2.80 GHz, RAM 4 Go, Ubuntu Maverick 64 bits, R 2.12.1).
