The Hmisc package has had a number of updates/fixes: Changes in version 3.14-4 (2014-04-13) * rcspline.eval: stop new logic for ignoring outer values when there are many ties when there are also many ties on interior values. Added new logic to use interior unique values of x when the number of unique x is small. * latexBuild: generalized with insert argument * latex.default: modified to use mods of latexBuild, fixed bug with caption.loc='bottom' (thanks: YacineH) * latex.default: fixed bug where comma did not appear after caption={} for ctable (thanks: Johannes Hofrichter) * tests: fit.mult.impute.bootstrap.r: added new example (thanks: Jane Cook) * fit.mult.impute: added call for fit.mult.impute in returned object, replacing call from fitter; makes update work for fit.mult.impute * summary.formula: fixed recognition of multiple left-hand-side variables to trigger call to summaryM (thanks: Kevin Thorpe) * summaryM: changed group label to '' instead of 0 for formulas like age + sex ~ 1 * Ecdf: added what argument to all functions * nobsY: return constructed id vector * addMarginal: instead of .marginal. being logical, make it contain names of variables being marginalized over * mChoice.c: fixed some inconsistencies The rms package has also had some changes, and the survfit.formula function has been REMOVED, replaced by the npsurv function: Changes in version 4.2-0 (2014-04-13) * Deprecated survfit.formula so would not overlap with function in survival * Added function npsurv, survplot.npsurv * REMOVED survfit.formula * Used new type argument to label.Surv for fitting functions * cph: added weights argument to residuals.coxph (Thanks: Thomas Lumley) * survfit.cph: fixed bug in using wrong type variable. Thanks: Zhiyuan Sun * cph: added weighted=TRUE in call to residuals.coxph (Thanks: T Lumley) * orm.fit: improved ormfit to not try to deal with NaN in V, assuming that step-halving will happen Some improvements have been made in the greport package: Changes in version 0.5-1 (2014-04-15) * survReport: changed to use npsurv instead of survfit.formula * exReport: changed order of output so that analysis of randomized patients marked for exclusions appears last; use LaTeX chngpage package to allow detailed table to go into left margin so as to be centered on page * exReport: added adjustwidth argument * accrualReport: allowed enrollment target N to be omitted * exReport: fine tuning * nriskReport: new report to show number of subjects still being followed at each day * Merge: added support for data.table * nriskReport: added id() variable * exReport: fixed bug when there is an exclusion with 0 frequency * accrualReport: improved graphics formatting, added minrand argument * accrualReport: added enrollmax argument, clarified notation * exReport: added ignoreExcl, ignoreRand arguments * all: added greportOption texwhere; default is 'gentex'; can specify texwhere='' to write non-appendix LaTeX code to console as for knitr * dReport: for byx for discrete Y, sense when Y is binary and use Wilson interval instead of bootstrap; adjust SE using confidence interval if proportion is 0 or 1 * dReport: changed discreteness non-binary classification to use maximum number of unique values or Y instead of minimum * add globalVariables call to nriskReport -- Frank E Harrell Jr Professor and Chairman School of Medicine Department of Biostatistics Vanderbilt University _______________________________________________ R-packages mailing list R-packages@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-packages
