  <dc:title>Accelerated Estimation of Robust Location and Scale</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package robscale version 0.5.4</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Estimates robust location and scale parameters using
    platform-specific Single Instruction, Multiple Data (SIMD) vectorization
    and Intel Threading Building Blocks (TBB) for parallel processing.
    Implements a novel variance-weighted ensemble estimator that adaptively
    combines all available statistics. Methods include logistic
    M-estimators, the estimators of Rousseeuw and Croux (1993), the Gini
    mean difference, the scaled Median Absolute Deviation (MAD), the scaled
    Interquartile Range (IQR), and unbiased standard deviations. Achieves
    substantial speedups over existing implementations through an 'Rcpp'
    backend with fused single-buffer algorithms that halve memory traffic
    for MAD and M-scale estimation, and a unified dispatcher that
    automatically selects the optimal estimator based on sample size.</dc:description>
