R packages - Feb 2010 - Update of interval package

Hi all,

I have uploaded an update of the interval package, which calculates
nonparametric maximum likelihood estimates (NPMLE) of distributions and exact or
asymptotic weighted logrank-type tests for interval censored data. An important
part of the update is that now the default initial estimate of the NPMLE uses
the MLEcens package and is much faster. This increases the speed of the
logrank-type tests as well.  Other changes are listed in the NEWS file.

For details on the package see vignette("intervalPaper").
