CRAN (and crantastic) updates this week New packages ------------
* disclapmix (0.1) Maintainer: Mikkel Meyer Andersen Author(s): Mikkel Meyer Andersen and Poul Svante Eriksen License: GPL-2 http://crantastic.org/packages/disclapmix disclapmix makes inference in a mixture of Discrete Laplace distributions using the EM algorithm. * EstSimPDMP (1.1) Maintainer: Unknown Author(s): Romain Azais License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/EstSimPDMP This package deals with the estimation of the jump rate for piecewise-deterministic Markov processes (PDMPs), from only one observation of the process within a long time. The main functions provide an estimate of this function. The state space may be discrete or continuous. The associated paper is given in References. Other functions provide a method to simulate random variables from their (conditional) hazard rate, and then to simulate PDMPs. * faoutlier (0.2.2) Maintainer: Phil Chalmers Author(s): Phil Chalmers <rphilip.chalm...@gmail.com> License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/faoutlier Tools for detecting and summarize influential cases that can affect exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis models as well as structural equation models more generally. * FastImputation (1.0) Maintainer: Stephen R. Haptonstahl Author(s): Stephen R. Haptonstahl License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/FastImputation TrainFastImputation uses training data to describe a multivariate normal distribution that the data approximates or can be transformed into approximating and stores this information as an object of class FastImputationPatterns. The FastImputation function uses this FastImputationPatterns object to impute (make a good guess at) missing data in a single line or a whole dataframe of data. This approximates the process used by Amelia (\url{http://gking.harvard.edu/amelia/}) but is much faster when filling in values for a single line of data. * hydroPSO (0.1-54-1) Maintainer: Mauricio Zambrano-Bigiarini Author(s): Mauricio Zambrano-Bigiarini [aut, cre] and Rodrigo Rojas [ctb] License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/hydroPSO This package implements a state-of-the-art version of the Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) algorithm, with a special focus on the calibration of environmental models. hydroPSO is model-independent, allowing the user to easily interface any model code with the calibration engine (PSO). hydroPSO includes a series of controlling options and PSO variants to fine-tune the performance of the calibration engine. An advanced sensitivity analysis function together with user-friendly plotting summaries facilitate the interpretation and assessment of the calibration results. Bugs reports/comments/questions are very welcomed. * OOmisc (1.0) Maintainer: Ozgur Asar Author(s): Ozgur Asar, Ozlem Ilk License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/OOmisc Includes miscellaneous functions. * robustHD (0.1.0) Maintainer: Andreas Alfons Author(s): Andreas Alfons License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/robustHD Robust methods for high-dimensional data, in particular linear model selection techniques based on least angle regression and sparse regression. * sparseLTSEigen (0.1.0) Maintainer: Andreas Alfons Author(s): Andreas Alfons License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/sparseLTSEigen Use RcppEigen to fit least trimmed squares regression models with an L1 penalty in order to obtain sparse models. * sROC (0.1-2) Maintainer: Xiao-Feng Wang Author(s): Xiao-Feng Wang License: GPL (>= 3) http://crantastic.org/packages/sROC This package contains a collection of functions to perform nonparametric estimation of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for continuous data. * sybilDynFBA (0.0.1) Maintainer: Abdelmoneim Amer Desouki Author(s): Abdelmoneim Amer Desouki License: GPL-3 http://crantastic.org/packages/sybilDynFBA In this package the dynamic FBA technique proposed by Varma was implemented. * tfplot (2012.4-1) Maintainer: Paul Gilbert and Erik Meijer Author(s): Paul Gilbert <pgilbert.tt...@ncf.ca> License: GPL-2 http://crantastic.org/packages/tfplot Utilities in this package are for simple manipulation and quick plotting of time series data. These utilities use the tframe package which provides a programming kernel for time series. Extension to tframe provided in tframePlus can also be used. See the Guide vignette for examples. * varbvs (1.0) Maintainer: Peter Carbonetto Author(s): Peter Carbonetto License: GPL (>= 3) http://crantastic.org/packages/varbvs Implements the variational inference procedure for Bayesian variable selection, as described in the "Scalable variational inference for Bayesian variable selection in regression, and its accuracy in genetic association studies" (Bayesian Analysis 7, March 2012, pages 73-108). This software has been used to implement Bayesian variable selection for large problems with over a million variables and thousands of samples. * waffect (1.2) Maintainer: G. Nuel Author(s): Gregory Nuel and Vittorio Perduca License: GPL (>= 3) http://crantastic.org/packages/waffect waffect (pronounced 'double-u affect' for 'weighted affectation') is a package to simulate phenotypic (case or control) datasets under a disease model H1 such that the total number of cases is constant across all the simulations (the constrain in the title). The package also makes it possible to generate phenotypes in the case of more than two classes, so that the number of phenotypes belonging to each class is constant across all the simulations. waffect is used to assess empirically the statistical power of Genome Wide Association studies.
