Version 0.7.3 of the gregmisc package is now available on CRAN. A compiled windows package has also been sent to Brian Ripley for inclusion in the windows package directory. This version of gregmisc fixes a number of bugs and introduces several new functions. Highlights of this version: ========================== New Features: - Introduction of pdirichlet() and rdirichlet() functions. - Addition of fast.prcomp() and fast.svd(), are more efficient than the built-in versions on very wide matrixes. (Short term solution until patches are integrated into the R source.) - Add permute() function as a convenience wrapper for sample() Bug Fixes: - Fixed bug in barplot2() when log scale axes are used. - Fixed contrasts.lm() to allow use on aov objects - Other miscellaneous bug fixes. - Removed enhanced version of plot.lm() which has been broken by recent changes to R base packages. Documentation Enhancements: - make.contrasts(), which allows easy creation of user specified contrasts, is now fully documented. - Help files for make.contrasts and contrast.lm now show how to compute and test contrasts, including SSQ decompositions, in analysis of variance models Description: =========== Package: gregmisc Description: Misc Functions written/maintained by Gregory R.
