modified interactivePlot to allow also functions in argument
plotFun. Previously plotFun had to be a character vector containing the
names of the functions. Adjusted the documentation and added an example to
this effect.
function .distCheck is defunct, use distCheck instead. To allow
compatibility with older versions of packages that import fBasics (fGarch,
fExtremes), .distCheck is exported but new code should not use it.
removed generic .print, its 'ssd' method, and the S3 registration for the
latter, all unused.
clarified in the documentation for histPlot, densityPlot and
logDensityPlot that argument x must be from class "timeSeries" (each of
them starts with stopifnot(is.timeSeries(x))). Previously it was stated that
argument x can be of any class that can be converted to "timeSeries" with
as.timeSeries.
contrary to the documentation, the return values from the \code{p/d/q/r*}
functions (such as dhyp, phyp, qhyp) for the generalised distributions
do not contain attribute \code{"param"}. This is now documented correctly.
removed attribute 'control' from the return value of rhyp and similar
functions. It was undocumented (or rather, the documentation stated that it is
called "param"; in any case, wouldn't be usable in code).
argument 'alpha' of dhyp, phyp, qhyp and rhyp can now be also a
vector of length 4 containing the four parameters.
hypMode now throws error if argument 'pm' doesn't have one of the allowed
values.
the return values of *Mean(), *Var(), *Skew(), *Kurt(), *Moments(),
where '*' is a distribution prefix (such as 'gh' or 'ght'), are now all named.
Previously, only some of them were.
removed a number of inconsistencies in the documentation.
now characterTable doesn't try to print/plot invalid non-ASCII UTF8
characters (fixes CRAN issue from around 2023-10-06).
symbolTable now plots more characters and issues warnings only for
characters in 26:31 which are ignored according to ?points but are
actually plotted.
now using default R Random generators in tests, since the old ones were causing numerous warnings from tests.
removed deprecated function listDescription, use utils::packageDescription
instead.
fixed a bug in histPlot, causing a puzzling error when argument
fit = FALSE.
dagotest() was returning NaN for the value of the test statistic based on
kurtosis when the argument of a cube root was negative. Reported by Cameron
Willden who suggested the fix.
the name of the first column of dataset msft.dat is not mangled any more (it
was "X.Y..m..d" and now is "%Y-%m-%d", as in the input file), the rest of the
dataset is as before. The file from which the dataset is created is now taken
from an identical file in package timeSeries.
the show methods for classes fHTEST and fDISTFIT no longer print
'Description:' when slot description = "".
many fitting functions, e.g., nFit, were inadvertently ignoring argument
description by using description = description() instead of
description = description in the call to new when creating the return
value.
correlationTest, pearsonTest, spearmanTest, kendallTest, ks2Test,
scaleTest, varianceTest, and locationTest now set slot description of
the result to "" by default. Previously they were setting it to the current
date/time, with the consequence that the functions gave different objects at
each run. Use description = date() in the call if you want the
date. Similarly for ksnormTest, shapiroTest, jarqueberaTest, dagoTest,
normalTest, adTest, cvmTest, lillieTest, pchiTest, sfTest,
jbTest, nFit, tFit, stableFit, and many others, which had default
setting description = description().
fixed CRAN warnings about a function declaration without a prototype, which is deprecated by modern C compilers.
further updates and improvements to the documentation.
website built with pkgdown is now linked to in file DESCRIPTION.
new maintainer: Georgi N. Boshnakov.
in DESCRIPTION, moved timeDate and timeSeries from Depends: to
Imports:. This necessitated changes in the examples and unit tests to get
them run smoothly. The implications for end users and developers are discussed
in separate sections below.
in NAMESPACE, now export selectively rather than with a generic pattern. No
longer export symbols starting with a dot. Reexported some functions that can
reasonably be expected when fBasics is attached (the list of such functions
can be adjusted).
tidied up the documentation somewhat. There is now a _pkgdown file with the
functions in the package organised by topic. Run pkgdown::build_site() on
the source directory (or unpacked tarball) to build the site locally.
removed .HedgeFund1 and .HedgeFund2 - they were just used to build the
dataset HedgeFund.
The changes are aimed at making the package easier to manage and reduce the side effects for users from attaching it.
Since packages timeDate and timeSeries are no longer attached by
library(fBasics), users may need to attach them explicitly, if they use
functions from them directly. That said, some functions from timeDate and
timeSeries are reexported by fBasics, so most users may not even notice
any change.
Undocumented functions (mostly starting with a dot, '.') are no longer exported. If you believe that a non-exported and undocumented function should be exported, please open a bug report, giving your reasons.
The notes for users apply to developers, as well. In addition:
fBasics. Please consider using
documented equivalents, if possible. Alternatively, let us know that they are
useful, so that we can document them.See file ChangeLog for changes before 4021.92.
