News for R Package wbacon

CHANGES in wbacon VERSION 0.6-2 (2024-09-07)

Misc

• Calls of the macros Calloc and Free have been replaced with calls of R_Calloc and R_Free, respectively (see warnings of tests with STRICT_R_HEADERS).

CHANGES in wbacon VERSION 0.6-1 (2024-02-06)

BUG FIXES

• The weighted quantile (other than the median) as computed by the C function wquant0 was incorrect for samples of size n = 2 (if the data were sorted in descending order).

• Added an _OPENMP guard in the declaration of default_no_threads in wbacon.

CHANGES in wbacon VERSION 0.6 (2021-11-04)

Tweaks

• In previous versions, the summary method for objects of class wbaconlm was implemented as a wrapper function of stats::summary.lm. But summary.lm detected that it has been called for an object other than a genuine lm object and issued a warning. This warning confused some users. Now we implemented a separate summary method.

BUG FIXES

• Fixed computation of regression leverages (for weighted regression) in plot method for objects of class wbaconlm.

CHANGES in wbacon VERSION 0.5-2 (2021-10-07)

Misc

• In calls to BLAS and LAPACK, we now use the same new macros that R uses in its code (FCONE, FC_LEN_T, and USE_FC_LEN_T) since version 3.6.2. This approach is recommended in Writing R Extensions, see Chapter 6.6.1.

CHANGES in wbacon VERSION 0.5-1 (2021-06-16)

BUG FIXES

• fixed variadic macro ##__VA_ARGS__ because it is not portable (clang complains)

• fixed implicit type conversion of function 'med3' (only detected by clang on Apple M1), now int return type

• OpenMP issue: 'omp_set_num_threads' is now guarded by a conditional compilation directive

• OpenMP issue: removed '#pragma omp simd' directive in wbacon.c (line 480) because the optimizer was unable to perform the vectorization

CHANGES in wbacon VERSION 0.5 (2021-06-13)

• Initial release
