sfsmisc (version 0.95-8)

Deprecated: Deprecated 'sfsmisc' Functions

Description

These functions are provided for compatibility with older versions of the sfsmisc package only, and may be defunct as soon as of the next release.

Usage

p.pllines(x,y,group,lty=c(1,3,2,4),...)
list2mat(x, check = TRUE)
huberM(x, k = 1.5, tol = 1e-06, mu = median(x), s = mad(x, center=mu),
       warn0scale = getOption("verbose"))

Arguments

x,y

panel function (or plot or general) arguments: numeric vectors of same length.

group

grouping vector of same length as x or y.

lty

line types to use for the groups (recycled).

...

further arguments passed to (plot) methods.

check

logical specifiying if it should be checked that list components have same length.

k

positive factor; the algorithm winsorizes at k standard deviations.

tol

convergence tolerance.

mu

initial location estimator.

s

scale estimator held constant through the iterations.

warn0scale

logical; if true, and s is 0 and length(x) > 1, this will be warned about.

Details

p.pllines is deprecated because basic Rgraphics (but not S-PLUS) provide its functionality directly: Use plot(x,y, lty = group, type = 'l', ...).

list2mat(x) is usually the same as sapply(x, c) (where the latter does not construct column names where x has no names).

huberM(x, ..) is a safe (generalized) Huber M-Estimator of location with MAD scale, being sensible also when the scale is zero where huber() returns an error. This function has been moved to package robustbase.

rnls(formula, data, ......) has been available, improved in package robustbase for almost a year and been replaced by a stub here. All *.rnls methods have been completely removed.
