modeest 2.3.3

• Small updates in the documentation.
• Simplification and improvements in the code of parzen(), vieu(), tsybakov(), meanshift(), mlv().

modeest 2.3.2

• BREAKING CHANGE: mlv() no longer returns a list, it returns a vector of values (usually one single value) for the sake of simplicity and homogeneity with functions such as mean() or median().
• mfv() or mfv1() are moved to package statip and reexported by modeest.
• discrete() is now removed. Use mfv() or mfv1() instead.

modeest 2.3.0

• Hidden kernel related functions are transferred to package statip.
• discrete() is now deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the package. Use mfv() instead.
• mfv1() is a new function that always returns a length 1 value (so that mfv1(x)==mfv(x)[[1L]]).

modeest 2.2

• Thank you to W. H. Beasley who pointed out a slight mistake in the calculation of Bickel’s skewness in mlv.integer(). Now the skewness is set at NA in case of multiple modes.
• The meanshift mode estimator is added.
• As documented under ?as.numeric, the function as.numeric.mlv() was not correct, and is now replaced by as.double.mlv().

modeest 2.1

• Thank you to C. Lepoittevin and K. Fijorek who pointed out a misuse of ifelse in the function hsm(). This has been corrected, so now hsm works correctly.
• Functions fiskMode(), gompertzMode(), koenkerMode(), kumarMode(), laplaceMode(), paralogisticMode(), paretoMode(), rayleighMode() are added.
• Function symstbMode() is removed.

modeest 1.09

• The Asselin de Beauville mode estimator has been added.
• A function as.numeric.mlv() is provided.
• Methods for the Chernoff distribution are provisionally suppressed, because of their lack of efficiency.
• The DIP statistic is no longer provided.
• In function tsybakov(), the argument djeddour is renamed dmp.
• In functions parzen() and mlv.density(), the argument biau is renamed abc.
