News for R Package simest

Changes in version 0.4-1-1 (2025-11-21)

Misc

• ‘DESCRIPTION’ get a DOI for the 2020 paper.

• ‘man/sim.est.Rd’ Example is better, no commented code.

• Clean up of ‘*.R’ vs ‘*.r’; also a few more ‘man/*.Rd’ tweaks.

Changes in version 0.4-1 (2025-11-14)

New Features

• Improved flexibility and informativeness for several plot() methods.

• The model fitting functions are no longer S3 generic with a default method, but regular functions (more efficiently).

Bug Fixes

• in sim.est() and simestgcv(), A[,-c(1,2)] needed to get a , drop=FALSE in order to work correctly for e.g., n = 6.

Misc

• Added simest to R-forge, notably Martin Maechler's ‘curves-etc’ project; also adding a BugReports: entry to ‘DESCRIPTION’.

• Using match.arg(methods) and switch(method, ..) is more efficient and more readable code.

• added relevant example(fastmerge), showing merging with default and more merging with larger tol.

• fixed several ‘man/*.Rd’ ‘⁠\link[pkg]{..}⁠’ links, also other small ‘*.Rd’ issues.

• added ‘./tests/’ directory and “regression” tests, which found small inconsistencies, e.g., some methods needing more than n = 2 observations.

Changes in version 0.4-0 (2017-04-25)

New Features

• sim.est() gets force = TRUE option and then uses the new cvx.lse.con.reg() which calls conreg() from package cobs. Hence cobs is now in simest's reverse dependencies.

• Now using faster .C(<name>, ....) instead of .C("<name>", ...., PACKAGE = "simest")

Bug Fixes

• Documentation: changing (x, y) to (t, z) where appropriate.

Misc

• using new ‘src/init.c’ and ‘src/simest.h’ files (necessary for the .C(<name>, ...) interface.

• The C routines called by .C(<name>, *) documented now (even though that is a bit unusual).
