Package robscale updated to version 0.5.3 with previous version 0.2.1 dated 2026-03-16

Title: Accelerated Estimation of Robust Location and Scale
Description: Estimates robust location and scale parameters using platform-specific Single Instruction, Multiple Data (SIMD) vectorization and Intel Threading Building Blocks (TBB) for parallel processing. Implements a novel variance-weighted ensemble estimator that adaptively combines all available statistics. Methods include logistic M-estimators, the estimators of Rousseeuw and Croux (1993), the Gini mean difference, the scaled Median Absolute Deviation (MAD), the scaled Interquartile Range (IQR), and unbiased standard deviations. Achieves substantial speedups over existing implementations through an 'Rcpp' backend with fused single-buffer algorithms that halve memory traffic for MAD and M-scale estimation, and a unified dispatcher that automatically selects the optimal estimator based on sample size.

Package INLAtools updated to version 0.1.0 with previous version 0.0.9 dated 2026-02-12

Title: Functionalities for the 'INLA' Package
Description: Contain code to work with a C struct, in short cgeneric, to define a Gaussian Markov random (GMRF) model. The cgeneric contain code to specify GMRF elements such as the graph and the precision matrix, and also the initial and prior for its parameters, useful for model inference. It can be accessed from a C program and is the recommended way to implement new GMRF models in the 'INLA' package (<https://www.r-inla.org>). The 'INLAtools' implement functions to evaluate each one of the model specifications from R. The implemented functionalities leverage the use of 'cgeneric' models and provide a way to debug the code as well to work with the prior for the model parameters and to sample from it. A very useful functionality is the Kronecker product method that creates a new model from multiple cgeneric models. It also works with the rgeneric, the R version of the cgeneric intended to easy try implementation of new GMRF models. The Kronecker between two cgeneric models was used in Sterr [...truncated...]

Package spatstat.model updated to version 3.7-0 with previous version 3.6-1 dated 2026-01-29

Title: Parametric Statistical Modelling and Inference for the 'spatstat' Family
Description: Functionality for parametric statistical modelling and inference for spatial data, mainly spatial point patterns, in the 'spatstat' family of packages. (Excludes analysis of spatial data on a linear network, which is covered by the separate package 'spatstat.linnet'.) Supports parametric modelling, formal statistical inference, and model validation. Parametric models include Poisson point processes, Cox point processes, Neyman-Scott cluster processes, Gibbs point processes and determinantal point processes. Models can be fitted to data using maximum likelihood, maximum pseudolikelihood, maximum composite likelihood and the method of minimum contrast. Fitted models can be simulated and predicted. Formal inference includes hypothesis tests (quadrat counting tests, Cressie-Read tests, Clark-Evans test, Berman test, Diggle-Cressie-Loosmore-Ford test, scan test, studentised permutation test, segregation test, ANOVA tests of fitted models, adjusted composite likelihood ratio test, envelope t [...truncated...]
