Major Changes

  • The default argument for threads in SLOPE() has been changed from NULL
    (half of available cores) to 1 (no multithreading). This is to avoid
    excessive CPU usage on systems with many cores. Users can still set
    threads = NULL to get the previous behavior, or set it to any positive
    integer to control the number of threads used.

Minor Changes

  • The C++ routine can now be interrupted through R's usual interrupt mechanism
    (e.g., Ctrl+C in RStudio or R terminal).
  • The citation information has been updated. Use citation("SLOPE") to see the
    correct way to cite the package.
  • The y axis label for coefficients has changed from expression(hat(beta)) to
    "Coefficients" to avoid issues with rendering in some environments, where
    the hat symbol would be cropped.

Bug Fixes

  • In the return object from SLOPE(), the coefficients_scaled field
    incorrectly contained unscaled coefficients, which also affected
    coef.SLOPE(). This has now been fixed.
