Version 1.5 of ptproc available

Version 1.5 of the ptproc package is now available.  This version does not contain any major changes except that it now requires R 2.0.0 or higher (it uses lazy loading).

Fixed ptproc.sim problem; new version available

I think I fixed the problem with simulating the Hawkes model using ptproc.sim reported earlier.  The problem was there was no "ptprocSim" method for getPts.  Also there were some bugs in the hawkes.cond.int function.

Note that the package now requires R 1.9.0 or higher since I can only build the Windows package with R 1.9.0.

Bug in ptproc.sim

It seems there's a bug in ptproc.sim, but I think I knew this already. If I remember correctly I need to write a method for getPts, but I'm not 100% sure. Will look into it.

Windows version available

You can now download a windows compiled version of the ptproc library here:  ptproc_1.4-2.zip.  The steps to install are (1) Download the zip file to your computer; (2) Start up R; and (3) Select "Install package(s) from local zip files..." from the Packages menu.

The source package is also available:  ptproc_1.4-2.tar.gz.

Please report any bugs or problems to me at rpeng at jhsph.edu.

Updates

You can download version 1.4-2 of the ptproc package from this website now:  ptproc_1.4-2.tar.gz.  No major changes but I think I will start hosting the package files here rather than at UCLA.  I will also make a Windows build available soon.

Paper available from JSS (for real)

As far as I know, as of today, the correct version of the article describing the "ptproc" package is available from the Journal of Statistical Software. The article is Volume 8, Issue 16.
