[R-SIG-Finance] factoranalytics vs factoranalyticsuw

[Ueli Hofstetter]

hello,

does anyone know why there are two branches of the factor analytics
package, i.e. the one which looks like the "original" version
(factoranalyticsuw)
https://r-forge.r-project.org/scm/viewvc.php/pkg/factorAnalyticsUW/?root=factoranalytics
and the one merged into the returnanalytics package
https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=579 ?

while the package merged into the returnanalytics library has more recent
updates, it seems that some of the functionality presented in
http://www.rinfinance.com/agenda/2014/workshop/YiAnChen.pdf
is missing.

any hints are greatly appreciated

cheers
