CRAN (and crantastic) updates this week New packages ------------
* ant (0.0-6) Romain Francois http://crantastic.org/packages/ant Version of the ant apache build tool, with a few R specific tasks to ease use of ant within an R package * caroline (0.1-1) David M. Schruth http://crantastic.org/packages/caroline * CircNNTSR (0.1) Maria Mercedes Gregorio-Dominguez http://crantastic.org/packages/CircNNTSR Functions for the analysis of circular data using distributions based on Nonnegative Trigonometric Sums (NNTS). Functions for calculation of densities and distributions, the estimation of parameters, plotting and more * expsmooth (2.00) Rob J Hyndman http://crantastic.org/packages/expsmooth Data sets from the book "Forecasting with exponential smoothing: the state space approach" by Hyndman, Koehler, Ord and Snyder (Springer, 2008). * farmR (1.0) Ira R. Cooke http://crantastic.org/packages/farmR A mixed integer description of an arable farm. Finds optimal farming plans given economic and social preference information. * fds (1.0) Han Lin Shang http://crantastic.org/packages/fds Functional data sets * fma (2.00) Rob J Hyndman http://crantastic.org/packages/fma All data sets from "Forecasting: methods and applications" by Makridakis, Wheelwright & Hyndman (Wiley, 3rd ed., 1998). * forecast (2.00) Rob J Hyndman http://crantastic.org/packages/forecast Methods and tools for displaying and analysing univariate time series forecasts including exponential smoothing via state space models and automatic ARIMA modelling. * ftsa (1.0) Han Lin Shang http://crantastic.org/packages/ftsa Functions for functional time series * gamm4 (0.0-1) Simon Wood http://crantastic.org/packages/gamm4 Fit generalized additive mixed models via a version of mgcv's gamm function, using lme4 for estimation via Fabian Scheipl's trick. * Geneclust (1.0.0) Sophie Ancelet http://crantastic.org/packages/Geneclust Simulation and analysis of spatial structure of population genetics data * marelacTeaching (1.0) Karline Soetaert http://crantastic.org/packages/marelacTeaching Datasets and tutorials for use in the MArine, Riverine, Estuarine, LAcustrine and Coastal sciences * maticce (0.9-2) Andrew Hipp http://crantastic.org/packages/maticce Tools for an information-theoretic approach to estimating the probability of continuous character transitions on phylogenetic trees * Mcomp (2.00) Rob J Hyndman http://crantastic.org/packages/Mcomp The 1001 time series from the M-competition (Makridakis et al. 1982) and the 3003 time series from the IJF-M3 competition (Makridakis and Hibon, 2000). * MLCM (0.0-1) Ken Knoblauch http://crantastic.org/packages/MLCM Conjoint measurement is a psychophysical procedure in which stimulus pairs are presented that vary along n > 2 dimensions and the observer is required to compare the stimuli along one of them. This package contains functions to estimate the contribution of the n scales to the judgment by a maximum likelihood method under several hypotheses of how the perceptual dimensions interact. * rms (2.0-2) Frank E Harrell Jr http://crantastic.org/packages/rms Regression modeling, testing, estimation, validation, graphics, prediction, and typesetting by storing enhanced model design attributes in the fit. rms is a collection of about 180 functions that assist and streamline modeling, especially for biostatistical and epidemiologic applications. It also contains new functions for binary and ordinal logistic regression models and the Buckley-James multiple regression model for right-censored responses, and implements penalized maximum likelihood estimation for logistic and ordinary linear models. rms works with almost any regression model, but it was especially written to work with binary or ordinal logistic regression, Cox regression, accelerated failure time models, ordinary linear models, the Buckley-James model, generalized least squares for serially or spatially correlated observations, generalized linear models, and quantile regression. * RPMM (1.0) E. Andres Houseman http://crantastic.org/packages/RPMM Recursively Partitioned Mixture Model for Beta and Gaussian Mixtures. This is a model-based clustering algorithm that returns a hierarchy of classes, similar to hierarchical clustering, but also similar to finite mixture models. * sos (1.1-3) Spencer Graves http://crantastic.org/packages/sos R related Search Engines * tikzDevice (0.4.7) The tikzDevice team: http://crantastic.org/packages/tikzDevice The TikZ device enables LaTeX-ready output from R graphics functions. This is done by producing code that can be understood by the TikZ graphics language. All text in a graphic output with the tikz() function will can be typeset by LaTeX and therefore will match whatever fonts are currently used in the document. This also means that LaTeX mathematics can be typeset directly into labels and annotations! Graphics produced this way can also be annotated with custom TikZ commands. * tm.plugin.mail (0.0-1) Ingo Feinerer http://crantastic.org/packages/tm-plugin-mail A plug-in for the tm text mining framework providing mail handling functionality.
