CRAN (and crantastic) updates this week New packages ------------
* condmixt (1.0) Maintainer: Julie Carreau Author(s): Julie Carreau License: GPL-2 http://crantastic.org/packages/condmixt Conditional density estimation with mixtures for heavy-tailed distributions * crrstep (2012-5.3) Maintainer: Ravi Varadhan Author(s): Ravi Varadhan & Deborah Kuk License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/crrstep Performs forward and backwards stepwise regression for the Proportional subdistribution hazards model in competing risks (Fine & Gray 1999). Procedure uses AIC, BIC and BICcr as selection criteria. BICcr has a penalty of k = log(n*), where n* is the number of primary events. * discreteMTP (0.1-2) Maintainer: Shay Yaacoby Author(s): Ruth Heller [aut], Hadas Gur [aut], Shay Yaacoby [aut, cre] License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/discreteMTP Multiple testing procedures for discrete test statistics, that use the known discrete null distribution of the p-values for simultaneous inference. * gglasso (1.0) Maintainer: Yi Yang Author(s): Yi Yang <yiy...@umn.edu>, Hui Zou <h...@stat.umn.edu> License: GPL-2 http://crantastic.org/packages/gglasso This package implements a unified algorithm, blockwise-majorization-decent (BMD), for efficiently computing the solution paths of the group-lasso penalized least squares, logistic regression, Huberized SVM and squared SVM. * ISBF (0.1) Maintainer: Pierre Alquier Author(s): Pierre Alquier License: GPL http://crantastic.org/packages/ISBF Selection of features for sparse regression estimation (like the LASSO). Selection of blocks of features when the regression parameter is sparse and constant by blocks (like the Fused-LASSO). Application to cgh arrays. TEST VERSION, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! * mmm2 (1.0) Maintainer: Ozgur Asar Author(s): Ozgur Asar, Ozlem Ilk License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/mmm2 Fits multivariate marginal models with shared regression parameters for discrete and continuous responses * Momocs (0.1-01) Maintainer: Vincent Bonhomme Author(s): Vincent Bonhomme, Sandrine Picq, Julien Claude License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/Momocs Momocs is intended to ease and popularize shape analysis of outlines (especially using elliptical Fourier analysis). It mostly hinges on the functions developped in Morphometrics with R (Claude, 2008). From outline extraction of images and elliptical Fourier calculation to multivariate analysis and the visualization of transformations within the morphological space, Momocs provides a complete and convenient toolkit to specialists within every field that are, or may be, interested in morphological comparisons of outlines. * mpoly (0.0.1) Maintainer: David Kahle Author(s): David Kahle <david.ka...@gmail.com> License: MIT http://crantastic.org/packages/mpoly mpoly allows for the symbolic manipulation of multivariate polynomials in a general and consistent way designed especially for sparse and super sparse polynomials. It also allows for basic differential calculus with multivariate polynomials and Grobner basis calculations from computational algebraic geometry. * R.devices (2.1.1) Maintainer: Henrik Bengtsson Author(s): Henrik Bengtsson License: LGPL (>= 2.1) http://crantastic.org/packages/R-devices This package provides utility methods that enhance the existing graphical device functions already available in R for the purpose of simplify the creation of figure files of various image formats and much more. * RcmdrPlugin.EBM (1.0-1) Maintainer: Daniel Leucuta Author(s): Daniel-Corneliu Leucuta <danny....@gmail.com> License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/RcmdrPlugin-EBM This package provides an Rcmdr plug-in for Evidence Based Medicine medical indicators calculations (Sensitivity, specificity, absolute risk reduction, relative risk, ...). * RSeed (0.1.31) Maintainer: Claus Jonathan Fritzemeier Author(s): Claus Jonathan Fritzemeier License: GNU General Public License http://crantastic.org/packages/RSeed an implementation of the analysis about seed components from borenstein 2008 * SemiParSampleSel (0.1) Maintainer: Giampiero Marra Author(s): Giampiero Marra <giampi...@stats.ucl.ac.uk> and Rosalba Radice <rosalba.rad...@lshtm.ac.uk> License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/SemiParSampleSel Routine for fitting continuous response sample selection models with semiparametric predictors, including linear and nonlinear effects. * stellaR (0.2-0) Maintainer: Matteo Dell'Omodarme Author(s): Matteo Dell'Omodarme [aut, cre], Giada Valle [aut] License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/stellaR A package to manage and display stellar tracks and isochrones from Pisa low-mass database. Includes tools for isochrones construction and tracks interpolation.
