HiGarrote 2.0.0 (2025-07-27)

Changes in version 2.0.0 (submitted 2025-07-27)

• Added two new functions: predict.HiGarrote and predict.nnGarrote, which generate predictions on new data based on fitted HiGarrote and nnGarrote objects, respectively.
• Removed support for user-supplied model matrices in HiGarrote to prevent potential misuse that could lead to biased results. Instead, we now offer more user-friendly arguments to safely guide model specification.

• Remove the original is_PD function in function: nnGarrote and use matrixcalc::is.positive.definite instead.
• Resolve the scaling issues happening in functions: HiGarrote and nnGarrote in HiGarrote.R. The new version ensures that variable selection is invariant to the response scaling.
