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.chalmers at 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.
