Spatial statistics: A new version of the spdep package (0.1-4) is now available from CRAN. This package contains all of the functions in the former packages spweights, sptests, and spsarlm. They are no longer being maintained and have been deprecated. Users are asked to REMOVE the old component packages and replace them with the single spdep package, so that update.packages() will do its magic in the future. This release contains minor changes to existing functions, as well as the Cressie/Read North Carolina SIDS data set, and the Harrison/Rubinfeld Boston housing data set as corrected by Gilley and Pace (with census tract point positions).
