CRAN (and crantastic) updates this week New packages ------------
* ber (1.0) Unknown http://crantastic.org/packages/ber In this package there are functions for adjusting the data to remove batch effects * charlson (1.0) Vanessa Cox http://crantastic.org/packages/charlson Input patient id and icd9 codes and obtain summary index * DeducerExtras (1.1) Ian Fellows http://crantastic.org/packages/DeducerExtras Added functionality for Deducer. This package includes additional dialogs for calculating distribution function values, cluster analysis, factor analysis and more. * demography (1.02) Rob J Hyndman http://crantastic.org/packages/demography Functions for demographic analysis including lifetable calculations; Lee-Carter modelling; functional data analysis of mortality rates, fertility rates, net migration numbers; and stochastic population forecasting. * futile.paradigm (1.0.0) Brian Lee Yung Rowe http://crantastic.org/packages/futile-paradigm Provides dispatching implementations suitable for functional programming paradigms. The framework provides a mechanism for attaching guards to functions similar to Erlang, while also providing the safety of assertions reminiscent of Eiffel. * igraphtosonia (1.0) Sean J Westwood http://crantastic.org/packages/igraphtosonia This program facilitates exporting igraph graphs to the SoNIA file format * interactivity (0.1) Jeroen Ooms http://crantastic.org/packages/interactivity Toggle R interactive mode by setting C level global variable R_Interactive. * isdals (1.0-1) Claus Ekstrom http://crantastic.org/packages/isdals Provides data sets for Introduction to Statistical Data Analysis for the Life Sciences * magma (0.2.1-2) Brian J. Smith http://crantastic.org/packages/magma Magma matrix classes and methods for parallel processing of matrix algebra operations. Operations are performed with algorithms developed by the MAGMA research project. MAGMA aims to achieve the fastest possible linear algebra libraries on hybrid multicore CPU and GPU architectures by exploiting their massive parallelism and minimizing communication latencies. * normwhn.test (1.0) Peter Wickham http://crantastic.org/packages/normwhn-test Includes Omnibus Univariate and Multivariate Normality Tests (See Doornik and Hansen (1994)). One variation allows for the possibility of weak dependence rather than independence in the variable(s). Also included is an univariate white noise test where the null hypothesis is "white noise" rather than strict "white noise". * pathmox (0.1) Gaston Sanchez http://crantastic.org/packages/pathmox companion package of plspm with approaches of segmentation trees in PLS Path Modeling. * phitest (1.0-0) Leah R. Jager http://crantastic.org/packages/phitest This package perform a generalized goodness-of-fit test based on phi-divergences. This test works by considering the maximum 'distance' between the hypothesized distribution function and the empirical distribution function, where the measure of 'distance' is based on a phi-divergence. This generalized family of tests is indexed by a real-valued parameter, s, wich can take values in [-1,2]. Special cases of this family include the Berk-Jones statistic (s=0), the supremum form of the Anderson-Darling statistic (s=2), and the statistic of Jaescke and Eicker (s=-1). See the references for the phi.test() function for references regarding these special cases. In addition to performing a statistical test, this package will also invert the test statistic to form and plot confidence bands for the true distribution function for sample sizes up to 10,000.
