[pomp-announce] pomp version 0.35-1 released

[Aaron A. King]

This release provides some new features and some bug fixes. 

1. Running 'probe' on a 'pomp' and a list of probes now results in the 
computation of the "synthetic likelihood" (Wood 2010) as well as quantile and 
p-value calculations as before.  This quantity is computed using a robust 
estimate of the covariance matrix of the probes on simulated data.  The 
synthetic likelihood is now the quantity that is maximized in 'probe.match'.  
On simple examples, this produces much-improved performance.  See the codes 
in "tests/ricker.R" for an example.

2. The probes 'probe.acf' and 'probe.ccf' now have exactly comparable 
interfaces.

3. The 'seed' slot in 'probed.pomp' and 'spect.pomp' objects has now 
disappeared.  It's use was causing undesired behaviors in which the random 
seed was being fixed at inappropriate times.

4. Two bugs have been fixed.

See the package NEWS file for more details.

Please feel free to send feedback on your experiences with pomp, including 
problems you may encounter and features you would like to see.
