I've put all ``current'' add-on packages into CRAN's
source/contrib tree
and created an INDEX file (attached below). As you can see, currently
we have
acepack
bootstrap
ctest
date
e1071
fracdiff
gee
jpn
snns
splines
survival4
(Yes, e1071 and jpn are new ... more on the latter in a later mail.)
In the near future, I am hoping for the following:
oz (Bill Venables said should work without problems ...)
polynom (Has been used as a test bed for the new group methods
in R 0.50, so should only be a matter of packaging.
Or were there some changes?)
wavethresh (According to A. Kovac, worked under 0.12. Thought I'd
ask the guy for an official port.)
time.series (Paul Gilbert promised an official release following the
release of R 0.50)
Fritz (and I) have also started to port the `clus' software which was
recently documented in an article in Journal of Statistical Software.
Also, Doug's nonlin seems to compute fine after one change, but the
output needs help. Is this still useful, or do we have something better
for fitting nonlinear models?
As you can see from the list, we're not doing too bad ...

Several of the contrib packages were upgraded today. Most notably, Thomas rewrote parts of gee which were copied from Numerical Recipes. Also, I added a port of the `oz' package which seems to work fine. The current INDEX file is attached. I've made several changes as suggested. CRAN should be announced soon (hopefully I can get to upgrading the FAQ tonight). -k *********************************************** CRAN/source/contrib currently contains: acepack.tar.gz: ace (Alternating Conditional Expectations) and avas (Additivity and variance stabilization for regression) for selecting regression transformations.
