CRAN (and crantastic) updates this week New packages ------------
* bigdata (0.1) Maintainer: Han Liu Author(s): Han Liu, Tuo Zhao License: GPL-2 http://crantastic.org/packages/bigdata The big data package is a collection of scalable methods for large-scale data analysis. * boss (1.0) Maintainer: Arend Voorman Author(s): Arend Voorman License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/boss BOSS uses parameter estimates obtained without genotype to boost standard one-step approximations, and precomputes as much as possible without genotype (using boss.set) to minimize effort required. * Distance (0.6) Maintainer: David L Miller Author(s): David L. Miller License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/Distance A library that provides a simple way of fitting detection functions to distance sampling data for both line and point transects. Adjustment term selection, left and right truncation as well as monotonicity constraints and binning are supported. Abundance and density estimates can also be calculated if survey area information is provided. * FinAsym (1.0) Maintainer: Paolo Zagaglia Author(s): Paolo Zagaglia License: GPL-3 http://crantastic.org/packages/FinAsym This package accomplishes two tasks: a) it classifies implicit trading activity from quotes in OTC markets using the algorithm of Lee and Ready (1991); b) based on information for trade initiation, the package computes the probability of informed trading of Easley and O'Hara (1987). * gammSlice (1.2-5) Maintainer: Tung Pham Author(s): Tung Pham and Matt Wand License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/gammSlice Uses a slice sampling-based Markov chain Monte Carlo to conduct Bayesian fitting and inference for generalized additive mixed models (GAMM). Generalized linear mixed models and generalized additive models are also handled as special cases of GAMM. * GenOrd (1.0.1) Maintainer: Alessandro Barbiero Author(s): Alessandro Barbiero, Pier Alda Ferrari License: GPL http://crantastic.org/packages/GenOrd The package implements a procedure for generating samples from ordinal/discrete random variables with pre-specified correlation matrix and marginal distributions. * Lambda4 (1.0) Maintainer: Unknown Author(s): Tyler Hunt License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/Lambda4 This code provides 4 different estimates of maximized lambda4 (A split half reliability estimate) * leapp (1.0) Maintainer: Yunting Sun Author(s): Yunting Sun <yunti...@stanford.edu> , Nancy R.Zhang <nzh...@stanford.edu>, Art B.Owen <o...@stanford.edu> License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/leapp These functions take a gene expression value matrix, a primary covariate vector, an additional known covariates matrix. A two stage analysis is applied to counter the effects of latent variables on the rankings of hypotheses. The estimation and adjustment of latent effects are proposed by Sun, Zhang and Owen (2011). "leapp" is developed in the context of microarray experiments, but may be used as a general tool for high throughput data sets where dependence may be involved. * lxb (1.1) Maintainer: Björn Winckler Author(s): Björn Winckler <bjorn.winck...@gmail.com> License: BSD http://crantastic.org/packages/lxb Functions to quickly read LXB parameter data. * markdown (0.3) Maintainer: JJ Allaire Author(s): JJ Allaire, Jeffrey Horner, Vicent Marti, and Natacha Porte License: GPL-3 http://crantastic.org/packages/markdown Markdown is a plain-text formatting syntax that can be converted to XHTML or other formats. This package provides R bindings to the Sundown markdown rendering library. * phenology (3.28) Maintainer: Marc Girondot Author(s): Marc Girondot License: GPL-2 http://crantastic.org/packages/phenology Functions to fit and test the phenology of species based on counts. * RAFM (1.0) Maintainer: Unknown Author(s): Markku Karhunen, Uni. Helsinki License: GPL-2 http://crantastic.org/packages/RAFM Fits AFM by Metropolis-Hastings, calculates theta and FST out of AFM parameters * SCMA (0.0) Maintainer: Isis Bulte Author(s): Isis Bulte and Patrick Onghena License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/SCMA A package for probability combining (additive and multiplicative method) and for calculating some effect size measures on single-case data (SMD, PND and PEM). * skewtools (0.1.0) Maintainer: Javier E. Contreras-Reyes Author(s): Javier E. Contreras-Reyes License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/skewtools This package include functions related to following topics: 1. Information Theory: Entropy and Mutual Informacion Index for Multivariate Skew-t and Skew-Normal distributions. 2. Estimation of Growth models parameters (Von Bertalanffy, Gompertz, Logistic and Richards) using the robust ECME method via Heteroscedastic Nonlinear Regression Growth model with scale mixture of Skew-Normal distributions (Normal, T-Student, Skew-Normal and Skew-t). Include Bootstrap and Jackknife methods to estimate the Variance-Covariance matrix and Local Influence * svKomodo (0.9-55) Maintainer: Philippe Grosjean Author(s): Philippe Grosjean License: GPL-2 http://crantastic.org/packages/svKomodo Functions to manage the GUI client, like Komodo with the SciViews-K extension * tempdisagg (0.12) Maintainer: Christoph Sax Author(s): Christoph Sax, Peter Steiner License: GPL-3 http://crantastic.org/packages/tempdisagg Temporal disaggregation methods are used to disaggregate and interpolate a low frequency time series to a higher frequency series. This can be done without additional information or by exploiting the information contained in one or more indicators. All disaggregation methods ensure that either the sum, the average, the first or the last value of the resulting high frequency series is consistent with the low frequency series. * TUWmodel (0.1-0) Maintainer: Alberto Viglione Author(s): Juraj Parajka, Alberto Viglione License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/TUWmodel The model is a lumped conceptual rainfall-runoff model, following the structure of the HBV model. The model runs on a daily time step and consists of a snow routine, a soil moisture routine and a flow routing routine. See Parajka, J., R. Merz, G. Bloeschl (2007) Uncertainty and multiple objective calibration in regional water balance modelling: case study in 320 Austrian catchments, Hydrological Processes, 21, 435-446.
