In MATLAB 2024b when you access the documentation from an installed version of MATLAB, the documentation now opens in your system web browser. Previously, the documentation opened in the Help browser. In the previous versions of MATLAB we were using a script which auomatically redirected to the Internet documentation of FSDA which is located at http://rosa.unipr.it/FSDA. Now this automatic redirection does not work anymore. | October 2024 |

| V8.3.0 (R2020b) |
TRANSFORMATIONS IN REGRESSION We have enriched the properties of the data transformations of the Yeo and Johnson (2000) for negative and positive responses, which we introduced in R2020a. More specifically, we intervened on the smoothness condition that the second derivative of zYJ(lambda) with respect to y be smooth at y = 0, along Atkinson et al (2019) and (2020), to allow two values of the transformations parameter: lambdaN for negative observations and lambdaP for non-negative ones. Now, function ScoreYJall computes: 1) a global t test associated with the constructed variable for lambda=lambdaP=lambdaN. 2) a t test for positive observations. 3) a t test for negative observations. 4) a F test for the joint presence of the two constructed variables described in points 2) and 3. 5) the F test based on the maximum liklihood estimate of lambdaP and lambdaNNew function ScoreYJall which computes the score tests described in points 1)-5) above. New function scoreYJmle which computes, in the case of extended Yeo and Johnson transformation, the likelihood ratio test of H0: lambdaP=lambdaP0 and lambdaN=lambdaNeg0. Added option usefmin in funtion boxcoxR. This option uses the solver (fminsearch or fminunc) to find MLE of the two transformation parameters for extended Yeo and Johnson family (Atkinson et al. 2020). New function fanBIC which takes in input the output of FSRfan and using BIC and smoothness index enables to automatically choose in an efficient and robust way, the best value of the transformation parameter. New function fanBICpn which enables to automatically choose the best values of the transformation parameters for positive and negative observations New function normYJpn which extends the companion functions normBoxCox and normYJ to the case of extended Yeo and Johnson transformation. TIME SERIES New function SETARX which implements Threshold autoregressive models with two regimes ROBUST CLUSTERING New tools for dealing with the 14 Gaussian parsimonious clustering models (GPCM). In function genSigmaGPCM new option pa.exactrestriction has been added. If pa.exactrestriction is true the covariance matrices are generated with the exact values of the restrictions specified in pa.cdet, pa.shw and pa.swb. In function MixSim optional input structure sph now can be called with field sph.exactrestriction In function tclust the
fourth input restrfactor can be a structure which can contain the
type of Gaussian Parsimonious Clustering Model - GPCM (restrfactor.pars),
the New functions tclustICgpcm, tclustICsolGPCM, tclustICplotGPCM, and carbikeplotGPCM which extend functions tclustIC, tclustICsol, tclustICplot and carbikeplot to the case of the 14 GPCM. GRAPHICS New plots waterfallchart

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterfall_chart) and new function
funnelchart which implements the
funnel chart (see new function scatterboxplot (which creates scatter diagram with marginal boxplots). Improvements to functions Now spmplot accepts as input a table. In the case the names of the tables are automatically added at the margins. Similarly, in function corrNominal when option datamatrix is true it is possible to supply as first argument a table.
DATASETS New datasets balancesheets and facemasks added in the datasets regression section and datasets clustering section respectively |
We stop supporting
releases before 2015b. Functions FSRfan, ScoreYJ and ScoreYJall made faster |
Mathworks
search engine in our HTML web pages in version 2020b works again. Routines fanBICpn, tclustICgpcm and tclustICplot gpcm use routine heatmap introduced in MATLAB 2017a. Routine tclustregeda to display the results uses function parallelplot introduced in Matlab 2019a. |
October 18th 2020 |
| V8.0 (R2020a) |
ROBUST REGRESSION New set of routines for minimum density power divergence estimators (mdpd, mdpdR, mdpdReda, PDrho, PDpsi, PDwei, PDpsider, PDpsix, PDbdp, PDeff, PDc ), discussed in https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/22/4/399) New function simulateLM to simulate linear regression data with prespecified value of R2, prespecified correlation among the explanatory variables and type of distribution. New function VIOM which computes weights estimates under a Variance-Inflation Outlier Model using MLE or Restricted MLE (REMLE). ROBUST CLUSTERING New function tclustregeda which enables to monitor the regression clustering classification for different levels of trimming. Improved function tclustregIC which enables to compute the BIC (and other information criteria) for different values of restriction factors and different number of groups, for classification or mixture likelihood and regression clustering. Modified function tclustICsol now accepts input from tclustregIC to show the yXplot of the best solutions. New function ctlcurves to select the appropriate number of groups in robust clustering. New function mdrrsplot which plots the random starts trajectories and enables to brush them. The companion function mmdrsplot referred to multivariate analysis has been improved.

|
We stop supporting
releases before 2015a. Functions PoolPrepare.m and PoolClose.m removed (not necessary with the latest releases of parallel computing toolbox). Cleaner code for tclust and tclultreg functions now available; the core part which computes the EM algorithm for each subset which is extracted, is now in tclustregcore.m and tcluscore.m; these two functions are internal and therefore undocumented. From this release we support older releases up to 2015a (however about 85% of the FSDA still runs with older versions of MATLAB up to 2012a). |
Mathworks
search engine in our HTML web pages in version 2020a does not work
anylonger. To search for FSDA function it is necessary to use the supplemental software search engine. Corrected small bug in LTSts in case of level shift with very small series. |

UTILITIES New function existFS which checks whether a file exists and puts the answer in a cached persistent variable DOCUMENTATION Added file getting_started.mlx in subfolder doc of the main root of FSDA for packaging the FSDA toolbox,
|
From this release we
support old
releases up to 2014b. Now functions tclust.m and logmvnpdfFS.m do
not need anymore the presence of MEX files. This modification has
been made necessary because at present Mathworks toolbox packaging
does not support mex files. |
Fixed a bug in
tclutICplot New function startup.m has been added to the main folder of FSDA which copies all HTML documentation files in subfolder (FSDA root)/helpfiles/FSDA into (MATLAB docroot/help). The files can be copied in Windows system just if the user has administrator privileges. |
October 2019 |
| V7.0 (R2019a) |
CLUSTER ANALYSIS Function tclustreg has been considerably enhanced. Now the function includes: (i) robust BIC, (ii) possibility of constraining the determinants of the covariance matrices of the explanatory variables, (iii) options for treating datasets with concentrated noise, making use of concentration steps appropriately modified using observation weighting and thinning methods. New function tclustregIC which (if present) uses the Parallel Computing toolbox to compute robust BIC for mixture and classification likeilhood for different values of k (number of groups) and different values of c (restriction factor for the variances of the residuals), for a prespecified level of trimming. New function for constraining the determinants restrdeter. This function has its own interest but is called in every concentration step of function tclust in case determinant restriction is needed. Routines for constraining the determinants (restrdeterGPCM), the shape matrices (restrshapeGPCM) and to impose common rotation matrices (common principal components) in presense of equal shape (cpcE.m) or varying shape (cpcV.m) and a general routine to impose constraints in the family of the 14 Gaussian Parsimonious Clustering Models (restrSigmaGPCM). Routine to generate data based on the 14 Gaussian Parsimonious Clustering Models (genSigmaGPCM).

FSRfan now accepts the new option family "YJpn" and it is possible to monitor the score test for both positive and negative observations (output arguments out.Scorep and out.Scoren). (4) New functions for time series analysis. simulateTS simulates a time series with trend (up to third order), seasonality (constant or of varying amplitude) with a different number of harmonics and a level shift. forecastTS produces forecasts with confidence bands for a time series estimated with function LTSts. (4) CorAna has an improved display of results. New function CorAnaplot draws a rich Correspondence Analysis graph with different types of confidence ellipses for selected rows and columns. (5) New function verlessthanFS. It is a faster version of MATLAB function verlessthan. (6) Documentation of yXplot considerably improved. New options added (xlimx, ylimy, namey, nameX). (7) MixSimreg extended to account for multiple parameter distribution (betadistrib option) (8) histFS has a new optional argument (weights) for plotting a weighted histogram. (9) options labenv has been added to mmdrsplot. (10) option axesellipse added to ellipse (11) New output argument idxMapping used in function ClusterRelabel, to track the indexes permutations used to rearch a desired cluster labelling. |
From release 2018a we support old
releases up to 2012a. From 2018a the use of subfunctions tinvFS, finvFS, tcdfFS, fpdfFS, fcdfFS which compute inverse, pdf, cdf of the T and F distribution are not supported anymore. Following the feedback provided by our users, Function UnitsSameCluster (which was introduced in R2017a) has been renamed (for better readability) ClusterRelabel |
Fixed a series of problems associated to MATLAB 2018a. For example now empty variables which will contain numbers have been initialized with [], while empty variables which contain characters are initialized with ' '. See for example functions yXplot and spmplot. | May 2018 |
| V5.1 (R2017b) |
FSDA has introduced two new categories of tools, one for (robust) time series analysis; another for analyzing categorical data and contingency tables. More precisely:
(1) Function LTSts
extends LTS estimator to time series. A related new graphical plot
associated to a time series,
wedgeplot, provides information on the presence
of outliers and level shifts. (2) CorAna performs correspondence analysis; SparseTableTest computes independence test for large and sparse contingency tables; CressieRead computes the power divergence family of tests, to check the discrepancy/distance between observed and expected frequencies in a contingency table; rcontFS generates a random two-way table with given marginal totals; barnardtest computes the Barnard test, corrNominal measures strength of association between two unordered (nominal) categorical variables. Similarly for ordinal data with corrOrdinal. crosstab2datamatrix recreates the original data matrix X from contingency table N. This group of functions is complemented by file examples_categorical.m as in style of FSDA.
The two categories of functions will be progressively enriched.
Other new functions which are included are boxtest (test of equality of covariance matrices used for example in tkmeans), GYfilt (Gervini and Yohai, univariate outlier identifier), mmdrsplot (interactive plot of the trajectories of minimum Mahalanobis distances from different starting points), overlapmap to plot the ordered pairwise overlap values between components, dempk to perform a merging of components found by tkmeans, ncpci to compute a non centrality parameter confidence interval. Finally, spmplot has been enriched to superimpose ellipses, density and contour functions to data and extract single panels from the scatter matrix. |
Various inconsistencies in the browsing of the documentation pages and the bibliography have been fixed. | November 2017 | |
| V5.0 (R2017a) | CLUSTERING Function tclustreg now includes trimmed Cluster Weighted Restricted Models. New function tclustIC for the automatic
selection of the best number of groups. STATISTICAL UTILITIES New routines for density estimation and thinning, for univariate and bivariate data (used in tclustreg). bwe, rthin,
wthin, WNChygepdf UTILITIES
|
Control version added in many graphical
routines to take account the modifications in MATLAB 2017a
From MATLAB R2012a callback functions started to use new internal data structures. Interactive plots that use such callbacks (e.g. those in GUI brushRES) may produce errors in releases older than R2012a. The issue should be now fixed. Please report to us any problem you may experience. |
May 2017 | |
| V4.1 (R2016b) | New functions for bivariate density
estimation and random thinning (kdebiv.m,
rthin.m) used to extend tclustreg.m features. The FSDA help folder now contains XML files associated to the functions documentation. This is in view of generating/updating automatically or using a GUI the functions documentation, in html as well as in the function head. New html documentation generated with publishFS. |
We are monitoring possible compatibility
issues that may emerge from changes in the tagging policy of the graphical
objects in MATLAB. |
add2spm modified to take into account
a change in the property name of the legend object introduced in MATLAB
R2016b (LegendPeerHandle is now called LayoutPeers). A change in MATLAB R2016b function legend.m was affecting FSDA function add2yX (the legend was plotted twice). Bug fixed. Bug affecting FSMeda only in the univariate case fixed. |
October 2016 |
| V4.0 (R2016a) | Major release. New function, publishFS, introduced to generate documentation pages directly from the .m files. New function, makecontentsfileFS, introduced to create a the list of files present in a FSDA folder and/or subfolders. It extends MATLAB function makecontentfilesFS. .mlx files introduced for examples_multivariate and examples_regression. New features added to the tclust function, including determinant restriction and new adjusted BIC criterion for the estimation of the number of groups. Added functions for reweighting FSR and FSRB (FSRr and FSRBr). Functions FSR, FSRB and FSRH redesigned; a routing implementing the core of the Forward Search algorithm (FSRcore) introduced to avoid code redundancies. New function, winsor, to winsor data. New function FSMbsb, which will replace FSMbbm. New function randindexFS, to evaluate the quality of different clusterings.

Documentation made compatible with
the new MATLAB help navigation and browser-style, which was redesigned
in release R2015b. |
Many small bugs fixed. Functions affected
include tclust, tclustReg, position, MixSimReg. ClickableMultiLegend made compatible with R2016a. drawnow command introduced in several graphical functions, to solve episodic bugs in the generation of the plots. |

In function spmplot, the multiple histograms (boxplots) on the main
diagonal of the scatter plot matrix is now working also with R2015a
and R2015b.
The html documentation pages of some new functions are missing. As a consequence, some links may be broken. New complete documentation, produced automatically from the documentation in the head of our m-files, will be released soon. |
