We have made a nearly complete set of the V&R2 libraries for R. These are in the devel section of contributions to CRAN as VR5.3pl021-1.tar.gz and at http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/R/VR5.3pl021-1.tar.gz ftp://ftp.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/R/VR5.3pl021-1.tar.gz They have been developed under a very recent snapshot, and this is probably needed. Also in that file is a set of scripts from the book modified for use with R. This is a beta-test version: we are interested to hear of your experiences but will not support this seriously until R-0.62 is released. We are grateful to Kurt Hornik and Albrecht Gebhardt for their work on earlier versions. The current status is MASS: almost all working, the remaining things depend on bug fixes or on Trellis, nls, ... class OK nnet OK spatial OK To come are a R clone of the tree() software and of RPART, both of which are done but need more testing. -- Brian D.
