+
+1. Introduction
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+R is free software distributed under a GNU-style copyleft. R-Forge is
+a service for R users and package developers providing certain tools
+for collaborative source code management.
+
+2. The directory you're in
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+This is the repository of your project. It contains two important
+pre-defined directories namely 'www' and 'pkg'. They must not be
+deleted otherwise R-Forge's core functionality will not be available
+(daily check and build of your package or project websites).
+These two directories are standardized and therefore are going to be
+described in this README. The rest of your repository can be used as
+you like.
+
+3. 'pkg' directory
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+Typically this directory contains the R package with the usual
+DESCRIPTION and R/, man/, data/ directories etc (see 'Writing R 
+Extension' for more details). In the future it will also be possible to
+have multiple packages managed by a control file, however currently
+this feature is still under development).
+
+Furthermore, this directory will be checked out daily, the package is
+checked and if it passes this procedure it is build and made available at
+http://R-Forge.R-project.org/src/contrib/ (as source tar.gz and win32
+.zip). It should be possible to install the package via
+install.packages("foo",url="R-Forge.R-project.org") within R
+then.
+
+4. 'www' directory
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+This directory contains your project homepage which is available at
+http://<projectname>.R-Forge.R-project.org. 
+Note that it will be checked out daily, so please take
+into consideration that it will not be available right after you
+commit your changes or updates. 
+
+5. Help
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+If you need help don't hesitate to contact us
+(R-Forge at R-project.org)

-USER-VISIBLE CHANGES:
-
-
-*** DUALITY BASED optIC-ALGORITHM
-
--> optional use of alternative algorithm to obtain Lagrange multipliers
-   using duality based optimization 
--> rewritten algorithm:
-+  getInfRob_asGRisk.R     now have both an iterative and an optimization
-+  getInfRob_asHampel.R    algorithm to obtain Lagrange Multipliers;
-       --- i.e. depending on argument OptOrIter (default: iteration as before...)
-       they call  getLagrangeMultByOptim resp. getLagrangeMultByIter
-       (unfortunately: optimization is slow; only L-BFGS-B works satisfactory)
-+ getInfLM now gains (unfortunately not a good idea as to speed!) the new 
-  MSE - optimization routines for obtaining LagrangeMultipliers
-
-*** optIC Solution for general trafo / with nuisance
-
-+ we now can digest case p=1, k>1 for asymmetric biastypes as well as for total variation
-+ implemented lower Case solution for *=v p=1 k>1
-+ roptest gains arguments withUpdateInKer, IC.UpdateInKer, na.rm
-
-*** others
-
-+ added argument fsCor to function roptest enabling a finite-sample correction of the radius ...
-+ added QQ plots in examples to roptest
-
-SCRIPTS
-
-+ all scripts do run now without (obvious) error ---
-    at the exception of NormalLocationScaleModel.R --- 
-    and there the radiusminimax solution for self-standardization ...
-+ in script GammaModel.R,  added comment due to new E method in distrEx 
-  which increases precision of certain computations.
-+ scripts in part now with R output in comment
-+ new example with k=15 steps in script PoissonModel.R
-+ example for lower Case solution for *=v p=1 k>1 added in script NormalLocationScaleModel.R
-+ new example for trafo-based model in script NormalLocationScaleModel.R
-+ inserted some new lines in script NormalLocationScaleModel.R
-  --- now has an example with nuisance parameters
-
-GENERAL ENHANCEMENTS:
-
-+ added tests/Examples folder with file ROptEst-Ex.Rout.save to have
-  some automatic testing
-+ added TOBEDONE (sic!) files; in English (for possible collaborators) 
-+ added keyword robust and made some minor corrections ...
-+ added/updated NEWS files, updated CITATION files using code by A. Zeileis
-
-+ Rd-parsing:
-  * patch for Brian Ripley's
-    Re: [Rd] Warning: missing text for item ... in \describe?
-  * fixed errors / warnings in .Rd files detected by parser 2 
-    (c.f. [Rd] More intensive checking of R help files, Prof Brian Ripley, 09.01.2009 10:25)
-
-+ svn-revision-tags 
-  * added in all DESCRIPTION files
-  * added field "Encoding: latin1" to all DESCRIPTION files because
-    substituting $LastChangedDate by svn would cause problems for
-    packages built under Windows (German) local when checking under Linux.
-
-+ removed pdf-file from version control - Rnw-file is sufficient
-
-
-INTERNALLY:
-
-+ k dimension / p dimension  -- trafo & nuisance
-  * lower case and Hampel now seem to work with trafo
-  * in getInfRob_asHampel: added argument checkBounds, setting this to FALSE 
-    clearly speeds up computations for asHampel Risk
-  * cniper contamination now also available for partial ICs
-  * slightly modified b search range in MSE problem -- in the hope it will do 
-    for Totalvariation neighborhood, p=1, k>1 
-  * new: getAsRisk for "asBias", "RealRandVariable", "TotalVarNeighborhood" and "ANY"
-  * getModifyIC has been changed so that also nuisance parameter models
-    can be covered.
-
-+ new IC algorithm 
-  * upper by default is now set to NULL in getInfRobIC_asGRisk, getInfRobIC_asHampel, getIneffDiff
-  * slightly modified b search range in MSE problem -- in the hope it will do 
-    for Totalvariation neighborhood, p=1, k>1 
-  * outsourced several steps in getInfRob_asGRisk.R and getInfRob_asHampel.R  
-    into internal, non-exported functions
-    .getLowUpB() .getLowerSol() .getUpperSol() .checkUpLow()
-  * radiusMinimaxIC gains argument loRad0 to be able to adjust 
-    the lower search bound (for getIneffDiff) case by case.
-  * getInfCent, getInfGamma 
-    - uses getLow/getUp now
-    - changed search interval for getInfCent Totalvariation one-dim
-    - use of lower.tail = FALSE instead of 1-p in 
-  * verbosity:
-    - for rob.-opt. ICs: in verbose mode now an automatic check for [p]IC is done
-    - optIC, getIneffDiff, getInfLM, getInfRob, 
-      leastFavorableRadius, .LowerCaseMultivariate.R[TV],
-      radiusMinimaxIC gain default NULL for argument verbose
-      in these function we check for is.null and if so set it
-      to getRobAStBaseOption("all.verbose")
-    - new helper function .checkPIC for checking within getInfRobIC
-    - work on pretty printing if verbose == TRUE, ...
-    - getIneffDiff now inhibits permanent checks for IC even if verbose==TRUE
-    - in addition to precision information, current Lagrange multipliers are issued if verbose==TRUE
-      (but only every 5 iterations in asGRisk- and every 15 in asBias-method for getInfRobIC)
-  * lowerCase solutions now count the number of iterations
-  * changed detault search interval for r in radiusMinimaxIC.R
-  * changed default search interval for b in getInfRobIC_asGRisk (one-dim)
-  * getLagrangeMultBy[...]() gain arg a.start to transmit the actual 
-    centering / clipping modification in transformed models
-
-+ Risk slot
-  * made Risk slot slightly more consistent (no longer double asMSE),
-    in particular in case there is no convergence.
-
-+ roptest 
-  * now has an argument initial.est.ArgList to transmit arguments
-     for a call to initial.est (for those familiar with it: 
-     similarly to startEstArgList in roptest.gpareto...)
-  * roptest gains arguments withUpdateInKer, IC.UpdateInKer, na.rm
-
-+ getmodifyIC
-  * new generic scaleUpdateIC  for scale-Update in 
-    location/scale/locscale models
-    -> to avoid similar code for the many variants
-    ScaleModel, LocationScaleModel, LocationUnknownScaleModel,
-    ScaleUnknownLocationModel; in the latter two also
-    totalvariation nbds are allowed
-  * getModifyIC gains ... argument
-    and for signature((L2FamIC = "L2ParamFamily", 
-                       neighbor = "Neighborhood", risk ="asRisk")
-    inserts a verbose= getRobAStBaseOption("all.verbose")
-    into modifyIC-slot
-
-
-BUGFIXES:
-
-
-+ scripts
-  * two minor buglets in scripts NormalLocationScaleModel.R & UnderOverShootRisk.R
-  * small shape parameters in GammaModel.R 
-    lead to functions which are hard to integrate numerically; 
-    added some code to demonstrate this ...
- 
-+ k dimension / p dimension issues
-  * fixed issues with polymorph nature of slot param of ParamFamParameter:
-    now we can determine opt-rob ICs for trafos; annotation gets right;
-    see example(comparePlot)
-  * Symmetry slots did not work correctly for non-trivial trafos 
-    (at least would have to be reworked); now: all entries are computed
-  * in ..asHampel: bmax had to be converted to matrix in case p=1, k>1
-
-+ new IC algorithm issues
-  * in MSE-method (as iter <= 1 always), clipping bounds in weights 
-    in Total Variation case (p=1, k>1) were never updated 
-    -> new helper functino .isVirginW
-  * small bugs removed in getInfRobIC_asGRisk, getInfRobIC_asHampel, getInfClip
-  * std (standardization in non-standard norms) was not updated correctly in getLagrangeMultBy[...]
-
-+ roptest
-  * modifies slot start of return value to become initial.est argument
-
-+ others:
-  * definition of weight was missing in getInfRobIC_asCov.R
-  * small bug in getAsRisk. Now radiusMinimaxIC works for models with trafo.
-  * corrected a simple bug in scaleUpdateIC for UncondNeighborhoods 
-  * fixed an error in getModifyIC in the computation of the transferred risks
-  * fixed a buglet in getModifyIC.R:
-    had to cast out a second appearance of argument verbose (within ...) ...
-  * getAsRisk for "asBias", "RealRandVariable", "ContNeighborhood" and "ANY" 
-    was lacking argument Finfo and did not check for verbose
-  * minor documentation bug in radiusMinimaxIC.Rd
-
-
-TO BE CHECKED 
-
-+ remains to be done: self standardization does not yet work...
-+ total variation nbd: case 1=p<k works but still some checking needed.
-+ to be checked: symm for total variation
-
-
-
-#######################################
-version 0.6.2
-#######################################
-+ added functions to compute and plot cniper contamination and cniper points, 
-  respectively.
-+ introduced option("newDevice") to control new opening of graphic devices
-+ use of on.exit() to restore old settings for options() and par() at the end 
-  of functions

+
+USER-VISIBLE CHANGES:
+
+  functions/classes:
+  + added new Risk class asAnscombe for determining OBRE to given ARE in 
+    the ideal model 
+  + now Anscombe-Risk also works with information standardization 
+   ( but is not suited for self-standardization!)
+
+  + new risk asL1 asL4 (for asy. mean absolute error and asy mean power 4 error) 
+    with generators etc
+
+  + new method get.asGRisk.fct to obtain a function in r,s,b (s=var^.5) 
+    to compute respective as. G-Risk
+  
+  + getAsRisk now has (almost) the same signature for different methods 
+    (so that in can easily be called when the actual risk is not clear)
+
+  + new helper methods makeIC to apply to functions or list of functions 
+         for easily producing (suboptimal) ICs
+
+  + new function getReq for two ICs IC1 and IC2 to compute a radius 
+    interval where IC1 is better than IC2 acc. to G-Risk
+
+  + new function getMaxIneff() to compute for any IC of class 
+    'IC' the maximal inefficiency on r in [0,Inf)
+
+  scripts/examples:
+  + uploaded Script for NbinomFamily
+  + added demo script for Normal Location case
+  + added calls to getMaxIneff() and getReq() in script to Normal Location
+  + examples for asAnscombe (see examples in inst folder (Binomial, Gamma, Nbinom, 
+    NormalLocationScale, NormalScale, Poisson);
+  + Integrated new example to getReq.Rd and new script AnscombeOrNot.R 
+
+  + some modifications/additions needed for the revised version 
+    of the corresponding manuscript.
+    names of added scripts were wrong ...
+
+  documentation:
+  + new references included in help files
+  + DESCRIPTION files and package-help files gain a tag SVNRevision 
+    to be filled by get[All]RevNr.R from utils in distr
+  
+  enhancements:
+  + filled Feature Request #919 / 
+         cniperPointPlot now digests arbitrary plot arguments.
+
+
+BUG FIXES
+
+  + fixed an issue with lower case solution in 
+    information/self-standardization;
+
+  + committed some missing Rd files for Anscombe class
+  + fixed some bug in Anscombe-risk for univariate L2deriv
+
+  + fixed a bug in multivariate version of getMaxIneff()
+    included respective examples to Rd file (with sin,cos-IC)
+  + a buglet in getInfClip.R
+
+  + fixed the asL1, asL4 issue --- getInfGamma beforehand was 
+         defined for asMSE not for asGRisk
+
+  + fixed two bugs in calculation of risks: 
+         trAsCov and asCov (for total variation)
+
+  + fixed a little bug in comparePlot if we want to plot pIC's
+ 
+  + fixed a buglet in asL1 asL4 risks
+
+  + fixed yet another buglet in asL1 risks
+
+  + fixed a little bug in getMaxIneff.R
+  + lower and upper interval bounds for search in clipping height 
+    in getInfRobIC_asGRisk.R are now selected differently for 
+    univariate L2-deriv according to whether risk is asMSE() or not
+   
+  + for restoring old par() values, not all attributes may

+  * patch for Brian Ripley's
+    Re: [Rd] Warning: missing text for item ... in \describe?
+  * fixed errors / warnings in .Rd files detected by parser 2 
+    (c.f. [Rd] More intensive checking of R help files, Prof Brian Ripley, 09.01.2009 10:25)
+
++ svn-revision-tags 
+  * added in all DESCRIPTION files
+  * added field "Encoding: latin1" to all DESCRIPTION files because
+    substituting $LastChangedDate by svn would cause problems for
+    packages built under Windows (German) local when checking under Linux.
+
++ removed pdf-file from version control - Rnw-file is sufficient
+
+
+INTERNALLY:
+
++ k dimension / p dimension  -- trafo & nuisance
+  * lower case and Hampel now seem to work with trafo
+  * in getInfRob_asHampel: added argument checkBounds, setting this to FALSE 
+    clearly speeds up computations for asHampel Risk
+  * cniper contamination now also available for partial ICs
+  * slightly modified b search range in MSE problem -- in the hope it will do 
+    for Totalvariation neighborhood, p=1, k>1 
+  * new: getAsRisk for "asBias", "RealRandVariable", "TotalVarNeighborhood" and "ANY"
+  * getModifyIC has been changed so that also nuisance parameter models
+    can be covered.
+
++ new IC algorithm 
+  * upper by default is now set to NULL in getInfRobIC_asGRisk, getInfRobIC_asHampel, getIneffDiff
+  * slightly modified b search range in MSE problem -- in the hope it will do 
+    for Totalvariation neighborhood, p=1, k>1 
+  * outsourced several steps in getInfRob_asGRisk.R and getInfRob_asHampel.R  
+    into internal, non-exported functions
+    .getLowUpB() .getLowerSol() .getUpperSol() .checkUpLow()
+  * radiusMinimaxIC gains argument loRad0 to be able to adjust 
+    the lower search bound (for getIneffDiff) case by case.
+  * getInfCent, getInfGamma 
+    - uses getLow/getUp now
+    - changed search interval for getInfCent Totalvariation one-dim
+    - use of lower.tail = FALSE instead of 1-p in 
+  * verbosity:
+    - for rob.-opt. ICs: in verbose mode now an automatic check for [p]IC is done
+    - optIC, getIneffDiff, getInfLM, getInfRob, 
+      leastFavorableRadius, .LowerCaseMultivariate.R[TV],
+      radiusMinimaxIC gain default NULL for argument verbose
+      in these function we check for is.null and if so set it
+      to getRobAStBaseOption("all.verbose")
+    - new helper function .checkPIC for checking within getInfRobIC
+    - work on pretty printing if verbose == TRUE, ...
+    - getIneffDiff now inhibits permanent checks for IC even if verbose==TRUE
+    - in addition to precision information, current Lagrange multipliers are issued if verbose==TRUE
+      (but only every 5 iterations in asGRisk- and every 15 in asBias-method for getInfRobIC)
+  * lowerCase solutions now count the number of iterations
+  * changed detault search interval for r in radiusMinimaxIC.R
+  * changed default search interval for b in getInfRobIC_asGRisk (one-dim)
+  * getLagrangeMultBy[...]() gain arg a.start to transmit the actual 
+    centering / clipping modification in transformed models
+
++ Risk slot
+  * made Risk slot slightly more consistent (no longer double asMSE),
+    in particular in case there is no convergence.
+
++ roptest 
+  * now has an argument initial.est.ArgList to transmit arguments
+     for a call to initial.est (for those familiar with it: 
+     similarly to startEstArgList in roptest.gpareto...)
+  * roptest gains arguments withUpdateInKer, IC.UpdateInKer, na.rm
+
++ getmodifyIC
+  * new generic scaleUpdateIC  for scale-Update in 
+    location/scale/locscale models
+    -> to avoid similar code for the many variants
+    ScaleModel, LocationScaleModel, LocationUnknownScaleModel,
+    ScaleUnknownLocationModel; in the latter two also
+    totalvariation nbds are allowed
+  * getModifyIC gains ... argument
+    and for signature((L2FamIC = "L2ParamFamily", 
+                       neighbor = "Neighborhood", risk ="asRisk")
+    inserts a verbose= getRobAStBaseOption("all.verbose")
+    into modifyIC-slot
+
+
+BUGFIXES:
+
+
++ scripts
+  * two minor buglets in scripts NormalLocationScaleModel.R & UnderOverShootRisk.R
+  * small shape parameters in GammaModel.R 
+    lead to functions which are hard to integrate numerically; 
+    added some code to demonstrate this ...
+ 
++ k dimension / p dimension issues
+  * fixed issues with polymorph nature of slot param of ParamFamParameter:
+    now we can determine opt-rob ICs for trafos; annotation gets right;
+    see example(comparePlot)
+  * Symmetry slots did not work correctly for non-trivial trafos 
+    (at least would have to be reworked); now: all entries are computed
+  * in ..asHampel: bmax had to be converted to matrix in case p=1, k>1
+
++ new IC algorithm issues
+  * in MSE-method (as iter <= 1 always), clipping bounds in weights 
+    in Total Variation case (p=1, k>1) were never updated 
+    -> new helper functino .isVirginW
+  * small bugs removed in getInfRobIC_asGRisk, getInfRobIC_asHampel, getInfClip
+  * std (standardization in non-standard norms) was not updated correctly in getLagrangeMultBy[...]
+
++ roptest
+  * modifies slot start of return value to become initial.est argument
+
++ others:
+  * definition of weight was missing in getInfRobIC_asCov.R
+  * small bug in getAsRisk. Now radiusMinimaxIC works for models with trafo.
+  * corrected a simple bug in scaleUpdateIC for UncondNeighborhoods 
+  * fixed an error in getModifyIC in the computation of the transferred risks
+  * fixed a buglet in getModifyIC.R:
+    had to cast out a second appearance of argument verbose (within ...) ...
+  * getAsRisk for "asBias", "RealRandVariable", "ContNeighborhood" and "ANY" 
+    was lacking argument Finfo and did not check for verbose
+  * minor documentation bug in radiusMinimaxIC.Rd
+
+
+TO BE CHECKED 
+
++ remains to be done: self standardization does not yet work...
++ total variation nbd: case 1=p<k works but still some checking needed.
++ to be checked: symm for total variation
+
+
+
