1.1 - implemented penalty modification factors and penalty change distribution via a connection matrix - implemented estimation of models for competing risks 1.0-1 - implemented data adaptive rule for default penalty value - fixed bug where output of the selected covariate would print the wrong name in presence of unpenalized covariates - Boosting now starts a step 0, i.e., also the model before updating any of the coefficients of the penalized covariates is considered. However, the unpenalized covariates will already have non-zero values in boosting step 0. This change breaks code that relies on the size of elements "coefficients", "linear.predictors", or "Lambda" of CoxBoost objects - implements parallel evaluation of cross-validation folds, via package 'snowfall' - speed improvements by replacing 'apply' and 'rbind' , most noticeably for a large number of observations with a small number of covariates 1.0 * initial public release
