Dear All, a new package, called normalp, is on the CRAN web site. This package contains a collection of utilities refered to a normal of order p distribution, also known as General Error Distribution. This is the content of the INDEX file: dnormp Density function of a Normal of Order p Distribution. estimatep Estimation of p. graphnp Plot of Normal of order p distributions. kurtosis Indexes of kurtosis. lmp Fitted linear model with normal of order p errors. paramp Estimation of location and scale parameters. plot.lmp Diagnostic plots for an lmp object. plot.simul.lmp Plots of the results of a simulation plan on a linear regression model. plot.simul.mp Plots of the results of a simulation plan on the parameters of a normal of order p distribution. pnormp Probability Function of a Normal of Order p Distribution. qnormp Quantiles of a Normal of Order p Distribution. qqnormp Quantile-Quantile plot for a normal of order p distribution. rnormp Pseudo-random numbers from a Normal of Order p Distribution. simul.lmp Simulation planning for a linear regression model with errors distributed as a Normal of Order p. simul.mp Simulation planning for the parameters of a normal of order p distribution. summary.lmp Summarize linear model fits with normal of order p errors. summary.simul.lmp Summarize simulation results on linear regression model. Any comment or suggestion is graetly appreciated. I hope this package can be useful for the R comunity. Greetings Angelo M.
