- Fix bug in loss function "esr_loss".
- Resolve compiler warnings.
- Estimation of model parameters in eq. (28): return starting values if the numerical optimization algorithms do not terminate successfully instead of raising an error.
- Account for misspecification in the covariance estimator
- Include information on published paper
- Allow different covariates in the quantile and the expected shortfall regression
- Restructure the package using the recommendations provided here: http://www.milbo.org/doc/modguide.pdf
- Remove unused pieces of code and simplify handling
Improved speed of the semi-parametric covariance estimator
Fixed an overloaded ‘pow(int&, int)’ bug (Solaris), improved the help files and marked several functions as internal.
Bump version for CRAN release
Clean imports in description
Add the residuals methods
Add the semi-parametric estimator of the truncated conditional variance
Replace the random restart optimizer with the iterated local search
Move GenSA to the optional packages
Add estimation of the truncated conditional variance using the skewed Student-t distribution.
Remove the one_shot estimation method: use random_restart instead.
Added an estimator of the asymptotic covariance of the two-step estimator
Added a (extremely fast but less precise) two-step estimator
Added new specification functions
Added the Z-estimator
