-%---
-D-1. enhanced implementation of distributions:
-%---
-+ Function liesInSupport() gains an argument checkFin which in case of
- DiscreteDistributions, implements information on the finiteness of
- the support.
-+ We revised the code determine the quantile function when there are gaps in
- the support of a distribution with non-trivial (abs.) continuous part.
- This fixes an issue recently raised at the introduction of staged installation.
-%---
-D-2. enhanced integration/expectation:
-%---
-+ The return values of distrExIntegrate and all E()-methods gain an optional
- attribute "diagnostic" for information on integration accuracy etc; this
- comes with functionality to inspect/access this information through functions
- showDiagnostic, getDiagnostic and the S3method for print for S3class
- DiagnosticClass
-+ We introduce filter functions to warrant some safety when digesting "..."
- args for distrExIntegrate(), E(), integrate(), GLIntegrate(), quantiles
- and IQR
-+ We enhance method .qtlIntegrate to integrate w.r.t. the quantile
- function for expectations (e.g. for Weibull, GPD, GEVD, Gamma)
-%---
-D-3. enhanced plotting:
-%---
-+ Our plot methods gain a return object of S3 class c("plotInfo","DiagnInfo"),
- containing the information needed to (re)produce the respective plot, which
- at a later stage could be used by different graphic engines (like, e.g. ggplot)
- to produce the plot in a different framework. A more detailed description
- will follow in a subsequent version.
-+ For diagnostic plots to be displayed in several windows, we enhance our helper
- function devNew() to react on the opening of two many devices: in interactive
- mode it now asks the user to shut some devices after reaching a certain
- threshold of opened devices; in non-interactive mode, when this threshold is
- reached, it shuts the first 15 open devices; see ?devNew
-%---
-D-4. enhanced minimum criterion estimators
-%---
-+ cleverer parsing of "..." args in M[L,C,D]Estimator:
- (where: ML = MaxLikelihood, MC = MinCriterion, MD = MinDistance)
- We actively filter out arguments causing clashes with formals in optim/optimize
- and calling arguments; from the remaining ones only [exactly] _named_ arguments
- of the optimizer (optim/optimize) and those matching either exactly arguments
- of the criterion or all remaining ones (if "..." is a formal of the criterion)
- are passed on.
-+ For diagnostic purposes, MCEstimate-class gains a slot 'optimReturn' which is
- filled by the return value of the optimizer in "mceCalc" -- it has a
- corresponding accessor
-+ For Cramer von Mises MD-Estimator, we distinguish 3 cases
- selected by argument muDatOrMod = c("Dat","Mod", "Other"):
- * in case "Dat", we integrate w.r.t the emp. cdf (default),
- * in case "Mod", we integrate w.r.t. the current best fit model distribution,
- * and in case "Other" one has to supply an integration probability mu.
- The provided asymptotic covariances reflect this choice.
-+ We add some theory/references to help file to MD estimators.
