Robust pairwise correlations based on estimates of scale,
  particularly on "FastQn" one-step M-estimate.

Provides robust methods to detect change-points in uni- or multivariate time series. They can cope with corrupted data and heavy tails. Focus is on the detection of abrupt changes in location, but changes in the scale or dependence structure can be detected as well. This package provides tests for change detection in uni- and multivariate time series based on Huberized versions of CUSUM tests proposed in Duerre and Fried (2019) <DOI:10.48550/arXiv.1905.06201>, and tests for change detection in univariate time series based on 2-sample U-statistics or 2-sample U-quantiles as proposed by Dehling et al. (2015) <DOI:10.1007/978-1-4939-3076-0_12> and Dehling, Fried and Wendler (2020) <DOI:10.1093/biomet/asaa004>. Furthermore, the packages provides tests on changes in the scale or the correlation as proposed in Gerstenberger, Vogel and Wendler (2020) <DOI:10.1080/01621459.2019.1629938>, Dehling et al. (2017) <DOI:10.1017/S026646661600044X>, and Wied et al. (2014) <DOI:10.1016/j.csda.2013.03.005>.

Gene-environment (G×E) interactions have important implications to elucidate the 
    etiology of complex diseases beyond the main genetic and environmental effects. 
    Outliers and data contamination in disease phenotypes of G×E studies have been commonly 
    encountered, leading to the development of a broad spectrum of robust penalization methods. 
    Nevertheless, within the Bayesian framework, the issue has not been taken care of in existing 
    studies. We develop a robust Bayesian variable selection method for G×E interaction 
    studies. The proposed Bayesian method can effectively accommodate heavy-tailed errors and 
    outliers in the response variable while conducting variable selection by accounting for 
    structural sparsity. In particular, the spike-and-slab priors have been imposed on both 
    individual and group levels to identify important main and interaction effects. An efficient 
    Gibbs sampler has been developed to facilitate fast computation. The Markov chain Monte Carlo 
    algorithms of the proposed and alternative methods are efficiently implemented in C++.
