CRAN (and crantastic) updates this week New packages ------------
* batch (1.0-0) Thomas Hoffmann http://crantastic.org/packages/batch Functions to allow you to easily pass command-line arguments into R (primary use is linux), and functions to aid in submitting your R code in parallel on a cluster and joining the results afterward (e.g. multiple parameter values for simulations running in parallel, splitting up a permutation test in parallel, etc.). See `parseCommandArgs(...)' for the main example of how to use this package. * bfast (1.1) Jan Verbesselt http://crantastic.org/packages/bfast BFAST integrates the decomposition of time series into trend, seasonal, and remainder components with methods for detecting and characterizing abrupt changes within the trend and seasonal components. BFAST can be used to analyze different types of satellite image time series and can be applied to other disciplines dealing with seasonal or non-seasonal time series, such as hydrology, climatology, and econometrics. The algorithm can be extended to label detected changes with information on the parameters of the fitted piecewise linear models. * bibtex (0.1-3) Romain Francois http://crantastic.org/packages/bibtex Utility to parse a bibtex file * BioStatR (1.0.0) Frederic Bertrand http://crantastic.org/packages/BioStatR This packages provides datasets for the book "Exercices et problèmes de statistique avec le logiciel R". * boolfun (0.2.1) Frederic Lafitte http://crantastic.org/packages/boolfun This package can be used to assess cryptographic properties of Boolean functions (such as nonlinearity, algebraic immunity, resiliency, ...). * BoSSA (1.1) Pierre Lefeuvre http://crantastic.org/packages/BoSSA Sort sequence from genbank. Retrieve sequence information from genbank (designed for viruses sequences and retrieve information such as isolation dates and host). Detect group of sequences presenting phylogeography signal. Read PDB file (protein 3D structure file). * CCP (0.1) Uwe Menzel to http://crantastic.org/packages/CCP Significance tests for canonical correlation analysis, including asymptotic tests and a Monte Carlo method * cubature (1.0) Balasubramanian Narasimhan http://crantastic.org/packages/cubature Adaptive multivariate integration over hypercubes * doMPI (0.1-3) Steve Weston http://crantastic.org/packages/doMPI Provides a parallel backend for the %dopar% function using the Rmpi package. * GrassmannOptim (1.0) Kofi Placid Adragni http://crantastic.org/packages/GrassmannOptim Optimizing a function F(U), where U is a semi-orthogonal matrix and F is invariant under an orthogonal transformation of U * heavy (0.1-1) Felipe Osorio http://crantastic.org/packages/heavy Estimation in linear mixed effects models using heavy-tailed distributions * Imap (1.01) John R. Wallace http://crantastic.org/packages/Imap Zoom in and out of maps or any supplied lines or points, with control for color, poly fill, and aspect. * openintro (1.0) David Diez http://crantastic.org/packages/openintro This package is intended to be a supplement to the Open Intro open source book project. This package contains data sets used in the book along with functions used to make the book's figures. * r2dRue (1.0) Unknown http://crantastic.org/packages/r2dRue 2dRUE is a methodology to make a diagnostic of land condition in a large territory during a given time period. Was developed under the DeSurvey IP. * RcmdrPlugin.sos (0.1-0) Liviu Andronic http://crantastic.org/packages/RcmdrPlugin-sos Rcmdr interface to sos. The plug-in renders the sos searching functionality easily accessible via the Rcmdr menus. It also simplifies the task of performing multiple searches and subsequently obtaining the union or the intersection of the search results. * rngWELL (0.9) Christophe Dutang http://crantastic.org/packages/rngWELL It is a dedicated package to WELL pseudo random generators. But it is not intended to use it directly, you are strongly __encouraged__ to directly use the 'randtoolbox' package, which depends on this package. * SampleSizeMeans (1.0) Lawrence Joseph http://crantastic.org/packages/SampleSizeMeans A set of R functions for calculating sample size requirements using three different Bayesian criteria in the context of designing an experiment to estimate a normal mean or the difference between two normal means. Functions for calculation of required sample sizes for the Average Length Criterion, the Average Coverage Criterion and the Worst Outcome Criterion in the context of normal means are provided. Functions for both the fully Bayesian and the mixed Bayesian/likelihood approaches are provided. * SampleSizeProportions (1.0) Lawrence Joseph http://crantastic.org/packages/SampleSizeProportions A set of R functions for calculating sample size requirements using three different Bayesian criteria in the context of designing an experiment to estimate the difference between two binomial proportions. Functions for calculation of required sample sizes for the Average Length Criterion, the Average Coverage Criterion and the Worst Outcome Criterion in the context of binomial observations are provided. In all cases, estimation of the difference between two binomial proportions is considered. Functions for both the fully Bayesian and the mixed Bayesian/likelihood approaches are provided. * SDMTools (1.0) Jeremy VanDerWal http://crantastic.org/packages/SDMTools This is a set of tools that are useful for applications of species distribution modelling. * UScensus2000 (0.01) Zack W. Almquist http://crantastic.org/packages/UScensus2000 US 2000 Census shape files and additional demographic data from the SF1 100 percent files. This package contains a number of helper functions for the UScensus2000blk, UScensus2000blkgrp, UScensus2000tract, UScensus2000cdp packages. * UScensus2000add (0.01) Zack W. Almquist http://crantastic.org/packages/UScensus2000add US 2000 Census shape files and additional demographic data from the SF1 100 percent files. This package contains a helper functions for the UScensus2000addblk, UScensus2000addblkgrp, UScensus2000addtract, UScensus2000add packages. * UScensus2000cdp (0.02) Zack W. Almquist http://crantastic.org/packages/UScensus2000cdp US Census 2000 Designated Places shapefiles and additional demographic data from the SF1 100 percent files. This data set contains polygon files in lat/lon coordinates and the corresponding demographic data for a number of different variables. * UScensus2000tract (0.02) Zack W. Almquist http://crantastic.org/packages/UScensus2000tract US 2000 Census Tract shapefiles and additional demographic data from the SF1 100 percent files. This data set contains polygon files in lat/lon coordinates and the corresponding demographic data for a number of different variables. * WMBrukerParser (1.1) William Cooke http://crantastic.org/packages/WMBrukerParser The package parses Bruker Ultraflex TOF mass spectrometry data and experimental parameter files into R structures for further signal processing and statistical analysis.
