CRAN (and crantastic) updates this week New packages ------------
* anametrix (0.1) Maintainer: Roman Jugai Author(s): Roman Jugai License: LGPL http://crantastic.org/packages/anametrix Connects to Anametrix API and extracts data into R data structure * assertive (0.1-4) Maintainer: Richard Cotton Author(s): Richard Cotton [aut, cre] License: Unlimited http://crantastic.org/packages/assertive assertive contains lots of is_* functions to check the state of your variables, and assert_* functions to throw errors if they aren't in the right form. * crblocks (0.5-0) Maintainer: David Allingham Author(s): David Allingham, D.J. Best License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/crblocks Implements a statistical test for comparing bar plots or histograms of categorical data derived from a randomized block repeated measures layout. * deltaPlotR (1.0) Maintainer: David Magis Author(s): David Magis (U Liege), Bruno Facon (Univ Lille-Nord de France) License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/deltaPlotR The deltaPlot package proposes an implementation of Angoff's elta Plot method to detect dichotomous DIF. Several detection thresholds are included, either from multivariate normality asumption, random simulation, or by prior determination. Item purification is supported. * disp2D (1.0) Maintainer: Guillermo Ayala Author(s): Guillermo Ayala License: GPL-2 http://crantastic.org/packages/disp2D An implementation of two exact algorithms for testing the Hausdorff and simplex dispersion orderings * foodweb (1-0) Maintainer: Giselle Perdomo Author(s): Giselle Perdomo License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/foodweb Calculates twelve commonly-used, basic measures of food web network structure from binary, predator-prey matrices: species richness, connectance, total number of links, link density, number of trophic positions, predator:prey ratio, and fraction of carnivores, herbivores, top species and intermediate species. Employs food web language in the code and output, translates between a couple of common food web formats, can handle food webs consisting of multiple levels, and can automate the analysis for a large number of webs. The program produces 3-dimensional graphs of high quality that can be customized by the user. * genomicper (1.3) Maintainer: Claudia Cabrera Author(s): Claudia P.Cabrera-Cardenas,Pau Navarro,Chris S.Haley License: GPL-2 http://crantastic.org/packages/genomicper Circular genomic permutation approach uses GWAS results to establish the significance of pathway/gene-set associations whilst accounting for genomic structure. All SNPs in the GWAS are placed in a 'circular genome' according to their location. Then the complete set of SNP association p-values are permuted by rotation with respect to the SNPs' genomic locations * hiPOD (1.0) Maintainer: Wei E. Liang Author(s): Wei E. Liang License: GPL-3 http://crantastic.org/packages/hiPOD Based on hierarchical modeling, this package provides a few practical functions to find and present the optimal designs for a pooled NGS design. * intpoint (1.0) Maintainer: Alejandro Quintela del Rio Author(s): Alejandro Quintela del Rio License: GPL-2 http://crantastic.org/packages/intpoint Solves linear programming problems by the interior point method, and plots the graphical solution of a linear programming problem of two dimensions. * jmec (1.0-3) Maintainer: Willem M. van der Wal Author(s): Willem M. van der Wal <w.m.vd....@umcutrecht.nl> License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/jmec Fit joint model for event and censoring, with cluster-level frailties, according to Huang & Wolfe (2002). * knnGarden (1.0) Maintainer: Boxian Wei Author(s): Boxian Wei & Fan Yang & Xinmiao Wang & Yanni Ge License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/knnGarden Muti-distance based k-Nearest Neighbors Classification with K Threshold Value Check and Same K_i Problem Dealing, Missing Observations Filling * longclust (1.1) Maintainer: K. Raju Jampani Author(s): P. D. McNicholas, K. Raju Jampani and Sanjeena Subedi License: GPL-2 http://crantastic.org/packages/longclust Clustering or classification of longitudinal data based on a mixture of multivariate t or Gaussian distributions with a Cholesky-decomposed covariance structure. * OIdata (1.0) Maintainer: Andrew P Bray Author(s): Andrew P Bray and David M Diez License: GPL-2 | GPL-3 http://crantastic.org/packages/OIdata A collection of data sets from several sources that may be useful for teaching, practice, or other purposes. Functions have also been included to assist in the retrieval of table data from websites or in visualizing sample data. * ParamHelpers (1.0-55) Maintainer: Bernd Bischl Author(s): Bernd Bischl <bernd_bis...@gmx.net>, Patrick Koch <patrick.k...@fh-koeln.de> License: BSD http://crantastic.org/packages/ParamHelpers A small package containing useful functions for parameter descriptions and operations in black-optimization, tuning and machine learning. * pkgmaker (0.5.1) Maintainer: Renaud Gaujoux Author(s): Renaud Gaujoux License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/pkgmaker This package provides some low-level utilities to use for package development. It currently provides managers for multiple package specific options and registries, vignette, unit test and bibtex related utilities. It serves as a base package for packages like NMF, RcppOctave, doRNG, and as an incubator package for other general purposes utilities, that will eventually be packaged separately. It is still under heavy development and changes in the interface(s) are more than likely to happen. * qtlhot (0.5.2) Maintainer: Brian S. Yandell Author(s): Elias Chaibub Neto <echai...@hotmail.com> and Brian S Yandell <byand...@wisc.edu> License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/qtlhot Functions to Determine significance of co-mapping trait hotspots * visreg (1.0-0) Maintainer: Patrick Breheny Author(s): Patrick Breheny, Woodrow Burchett License: GPL-2 http://crantastic.org/packages/visreg Provides convenient interface for constructing plots to visualize the fit of regression models arising from a wide variety of models in R (lm, glm, coxph, rlm, gam, locfit, etc.) Updated packages ---------------- adehabitatHR (0.4.2), adehabitatHS (0.3.5), adehabitatLT (0.3.6), adehabitatMA (0.3.4), aqfig (0.3), ARTIVA (1.1), BAS (1.0), BatchExperiments (1.0-528), BatchJobs (1.0-527), bfp (0.0-25), censReg (0.5-12), cloudRmpi (1.2.1), copula (0.99-2), DAAG (1.13), Devore6 (0.6-0), DiceKriging (1.3.3), dmt (0.8.10), ebdbNet (1.2.2), epiR (0.9-43), ergm (3.0-3), ExomeCNV (1.3), fanc (1.1), fanc (1.0), ftsa (3.3), GGally (0.3.3), gmm (1.4-1), googleVis (0.2.16), gss (2.0-10), GWAtoolbox (2.1.2), howmany (0.3-1), iRegression (1.1), isdals (1.0-6), ismev (1.38), IsotopeR (0.4.3), kulife (0.1-11), laeken (0.3.3), lgcp (0.9-4-2), linkcomm (1.0-5), LMERConvenienceFunctions (1.6.8.3), lmtest (0.9-30), longclust (1.1), longpower (1.0-2), lqmm (1.01), mada (0.4.1), MAMS (0.2), markdown (0.5), MARSS (2.9), mhurdle (0.1-2), micEcon (0.6-10), mitools (2.2), mixOmics (4.0-2), Mobilize (2.11-1), msir (1.1), ncf (1.1-4), nortest (1.0-2), Ohmage (2.11-1), pencopula (0.3.2), plus (1.0), quantregForest (0.2-3), Rcapture (1.3-1), relaxo (0.1-2), rEMM (1.0-6), rfPermute (1.2), rgr (1.1.7), Rook (1.0-5), rpart (3.1-53), Rssa (0.9.2), scuba (1.5-0), spacom (0.9-4), spsurvey (2.4), stabledist (0.6-4), strucchange (1.4-7), support.CEs (0.2-2), SYNCSA (1.2.1), systemfit (1.1-12), TDMR (0.3.1), WriteXLS (2.1.1) New reviews ----------- * gtools, by jenifferhomes http://crantastic.org/reviews/164 * RSiteSearch, by jenifferhomes http://crantastic.org/reviews/163 * LogicForest, by jenifferhomes http://crantastic.org/reviews/162 * TradeStrategyAnalyzer, by jenifferhomes http://crantastic.org/reviews/161 * DCluster, by jenifferhomes http://crantastic.org/reviews/160 * ICSNP, by jenifferhomes http://crantastic.org/reviews/159 * JavaGD, by jenifferhomes http://crantastic.org/reviews/158 * quantmod, by jenifferhomes http://crantastic.org/reviews/157 * Defaults, by jenifferhomes http://crantastic.org/reviews/156 * wordnet, by jenifferhomes http://crantastic.org/reviews/155 * ggmap, by fiutzi http://crantastic.org/reviews/154 * boot, by jenifferhomes http://crantastic.org/reviews/153 * ccgarch, by jenifferhomes http://crantastic.org/reviews/152 * data.table, by jenifferhomes http://crantastic.org/reviews/151 * GEVcdn, by jenifferhomes http://crantastic.org/reviews/150 This email provided as a service for the R community by http://crantastic.org.
