                                        Dear all,
this message is to inform the community about the activity in our 
function package repository: during the month of December 2024, 3 
packages were updated to a new version:
"graphlasso", by Sven Schreiber (graphical Lasso --- l1 shrinkage for 
covariance matrices)
"lomackinlay", by Allin Cottrell and Sven Schreiber (Lo-MacKinlay 
variance ratio test for determining if a time series is a random walk 
process)
"BACE", by Marcin Błażejowski and Jacek Kwiatkowski (Bayesian Averaging 
of Classical Estimates)
I'll reserve a special mention for the "graphlasso", which now uses a 
new internal function to speed up computation.
Sorry if this message comes relatively late in the month, but I was away ;)
Download and enjoy!
