Package updates (October 2026)
by Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti
Dear all,
this message is to inform the community about the activity in our
function package repository. During the month of October 2026, three
packages were updated and two new ones were introduced.
Most of the new stuff is in the "moving average for time series"
category: we have two new packages,
"tsdecomp", by Artur Tarassow, (classical or loess-based decomposition
of time-series)
"ema_tools", by Christian Lagunes, (exponential smoothing with
data-based alpha)
These two packages are complemented by the updates in two
already-existing packages, that is
"Holt" and "Winters", by Allin Cottrell, based on previous work by
Ignacio Díaz-Emparanza (classic decomposition and forecasting methods).
If you're thinking "well, it's nice to have many packages, but couldn't
we group all these similar features in one single package?", don't
worry, work on this item is already under way.
Finally, I updated my own "yahoo_get" package so that it works as it
should with weekly datasets (thanks to Theo Panagiotidis for the bug
report).
As usual, download and enjoy!
