In smoots: Nonparametric Estimation of the Trend and Its Derivatives in TS

smoots 1.1.4

• The NOTE "Specified C++11: please drop specification unless essential" has been fixed.
• a package alias has been added appropriately in the package overview help file.
• the plot functionality for objects of class "smoots" is no longer only interactive but different plot types can now also be selected via a function argument.
• the long-time deprecated argument "msg" in "bootCast()", "modelCast()", and "rollCast()" has been removed.

smoots 1.1.3

• a bug has been fixed that occurred when selecting p = 0 or q = 0 for the bootstrap approach
• a bug has been fixed where using the deprecated argument msg in the function rollCast() caused an error

smoots 1.1.2

• a NAMESPACE issue (stated as a NOTE in CRAN checks) regarding the package 'progress' has been fixed.
• an ERROR that occurred when running the test files on aarch64-apple-darwin20 (64-bit), r-patched-solaris-x86 and x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit) has been fixed.

smoots 1.1.1

• a minor bug in the automatically created plot title when applying plot.smoots() to an object returned by dsmooth() was fixed.
• a notable performance increase was implemented for the algorithms considered in the functions msmooth(), tsmooth() and dsmooth().
• RcppArmadillo was added to Suggests to address a note on r-devel-linux-x86_64-fedora-clang.
• a few typos in the documentation were fixed.
• an error in the description of the element 'ws' within lists returned by msmooth(), tsmooth(), dsmooth() and gsmooth() was fixed in the documentation.
• an acknowledgment of the support by the German DFG project GZ-FE-1500-2-1 was added to the DESCRIPTION file.
• [[Rcpp::export]] was removed from C++ functions only used by other C++ functions.
• minor R code simplifications were implemented.
• the package now makes use of the future and future.apply packages to improve the performance of the bootstraps in the functions bootCast(), modelCast() and rollCast().
• due to the implementation of parallel code, the argument msg of the functions bootCast(), modelCast() and rollCast() has been deprecated; instead they have two new arguments pb and cores.

smoots 1.1.0

• the README file has been adjusted.
• new functions were added for graphical testing of linearity assumptions and for forecasting.
• a rescaling function was added to simplify the transfer of the obtained derivative estimates on the time interval [0, 1] to the actual observation time points.
• the package now uses compiled C++ code within selected functions and needs to import the Rcpp package for this purpose.
• due to the implemented C++ code the performance of the functions of version 1.0.0 has been slightly improved for this version.
• the documentation has been adjusted with respect to the newly introduced functions.
• typos and false or missing information in the documentation have been corrected.
• the documentation has generally been edited with a stronger focus on text formatting so that actual mathematical formulae are visible in the package's PDF-manual
• the S3 method plot.smoots() has been reworked and allows for more arguments of the standard plot function and thus for more flexibility.
• improved feedback on incorrect input.
• some default values for arguments of functions existing since package version 1.0.0 have been adjusted, e.g. p = v + 1 is now the default in gsmooth() as opposed to p = 1 in previous versions.

smoots 1.0.1

• the Imports field in the DESCRIPTION file was adjusted.
• minor performance improvements were made.
• the example in the README file was adjusted.
• minor changes in the documentation were made.
• minor changes in the print method were made.
