New: Plot method for survival curves.
New: Option in perm.ncvreg to permute residuals for linear
regression
New: permres function to estimate false inclusion rates based on

over the next few months

Internal: Revised algorithms to incorporate targeted cycling based on strong
rules

signal-to-noise ratio, scale parameter, and prediction error in addition to
cross-validation error (deviance)
New: Summary method for cv.ncvreg which displays the above information at
lambda.min, the value of lambda minimizing the cross-validation error
Fixed: Bug in cv.ncvreg with user-defined lambda values.
ncvreg 2.4-0 (2012-10-10)
New: penalty.factor option
New: coef and predict methods now accept lambda as argument

Fixed: Error in definition/calculation of cross-validation error and
standard error
Fixed: Bug that arose if lambda was scalar (instead of a vector)

carried out deterministically (Thank you to Brenton Kenkel for pointing this
out)

Changed: plot.ncvreg: Made the passing of arguments for plot.ncvreg more
flexible, so that user can pass options concerning both the plot and the
lines

color (hcl instead of hsv) and line width
ncvreg 2.3 (2011-05-06)
Documentation: Updated documentation for cv.ncvreg.Rd, which no longer
agreed with the function usage (this was an oversight in the release of
version 2.2)
ncvreg 2.2 (2011-04-25)
New: plot.cv.ncvreg for plotting cv.ncvreg objects
Changed: Divorced cross-validation from fitting in cv.ncvreg. From a user
perspective, this increases flexibility, although obtaining the model with
CV-chosen regularization parameter now requires two calls (to ncvreg and
cv.ncvreg). The functions, however, are logically separate and involve
entirely separate methods.
