The rms ("Regression Modeling Strategies") package has undergone a massive update. The entire list of updates is at the bottom of this note. CRAN has the update for linux and will soon have it for Windows and Mac - check http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rms/ for availability. This rms update relies on a major update of the Hmisc package. The most user-visible changes are:

Dear all, I'd like to introduce a new R package called *phylogram,* for working with evolutionary trees as deeply-nested lists known as "dendrogram" objects. The package provides functions for importing and exporting phylogenetic trees in the Newick parenthetic text format, as well as several functions for command-line tree manipulation. With an emphasis on speed and computational

A new version of the survival package has been released. The biggest change is stronger support for multi-state models, which is an outgrowth of their increasing use in my own practice. Interested users are directed to the "time dependent covariates" vignette for discussion of the tmerge and survSplit functions, which are useful tools to build the requisite data sets, and to the

I'm pleased to announce the release of the vcdExtra package, v. 0.5-0 from R-Forge to CRAN, on its way to a CRAN server near you. vcdExtra was originally designed to serve as a sandbox for introducing extensions of mosaic plots and other visualizations for categorical data, particularly those that apply to (poisson surrogate) loglinear models fitted using glm() and related, generalized

Recently Brian Ripley had occasion to mock my inability to see a comment in the code for arima(), in the stats package. After considerable dredging around in the r-news archives I found reference to keep.source() and keep.source.pkgs(), which I conjectured just ***might*** possibly be the ``obvious'' resource to which Prof. Ripley thought I ought to have resorted. However, after

Hello, I wanted to announce the release of a new package on CRAN wbstats. >From the description "Tools for searching and downloading data and statistics from the World Bank Data API (http://data.worldbank.org/developers/api-overview) and the World Bank Data Catalog API (http://data.worldbank.org/developers/data-catalog-api)" Here is a (hopefully) useful vignette if you would like

R Users, The d/p/q/r functions for the bridge distribution are now available in bridgedist. When a random intercept follows the bridge distribution, as detailed in Wang and Louis (2003) <doi:10.1093/biomet/90.4.765 <http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/biomet/90.4.765>>, a marginalized random-intercept logistic regression will still be a logistic regression with marginal coefficients that are

Dear R enthusiasts, I am happy to announce that the package Leab*R*a is now on CRAN (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/leabRa/) Leab*R*a provides the Leabra artificial neural network algorithm (O?Reilly, 1996, ftp://grey.colorado.edu/pub/oreilly/thesis/oreilly_thesis.all.pdf) for R. Leabra stands for ?local error driven and associative biologically realistic algorithm?. It is the Rolls

hsdar is back on CRAN We are very happy to announce that a new version of the hsdar-package (hyperspectral data analysis in R) is available on CRAN. The introductory vignette is available here: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/hsdar/vignettes/Hsdar-intro.pdf The main class "Speclib" has been changed in that the additional information is now stored in the SI slot (function

Dear all, A revised version of OutliersO3 is available on CRAN: <https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/OutliersO3/index.html <https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/OutliersO3/index.html>>. The package has been restructured. The default is now that the tolerance level is set individually for each of the (six) outlier methods included. Plots have been added, as have outlier

Greetings, R users! It is with pleasure that I am announcing the release of msmtools package on CRAN: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/msmtools/index.html msmtools provides a fast and general method for restructuring classical longitudinal data into augmented ones. The reason for this is to facilitate the modeling of longitudinal data under a multi-state framework using the 'msm?

Dear useRs: We would like to introduce the "pedgene" package, version 1.2, available now on CRAN, with a brief manual available as a vignette: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/pedgene/index.html The pedgene package performs gene-level kernel and burden association tests with disease status and continuous response for pedigree data, as described in our recent paper: Schaid, D.

Good afternoon: giscoR is already available on CRAN. giscoR is a API package that helps to retrieve data from GISCO - Eurostat. It also provides some lightweight data sets ready to use without downloading. GISCO is a geospatial open data repository including several data sets as countries, coastal lines, labels or NUTS levels. The data sets are usually provided at several resolution levels

I've just released the latest R-Forge versions of heplots 0.9-3 and candisc 0.5-18 to CRAN. They should appear there within a day or two. == heplots The heplots package provides functions for visualizing hypothesis tests in multivariate linear models (MANOVA, multivariate multiple regression, MANCOVA, etc.). They represent sums-of-squares-and-products matrices for linear hypotheses and for

Dear all, apologies for interrupting your important work. The new R package MittagLeffleR is now available on CRAN. It computes the two types of Mittag-Leffler distributions, i.e. provides probability density, distribution function, quantile function and random variate generation for the Mittag-Leffler distributions, and the Mittag-Leffler function itself. It is based on the Laplace-inversion

Stephen, thanks for your effort. The more appropriate list for this discussion is probably R-devel (as far as I understand it) so I've moved the discussion there. Related topics have already been discussed in the past. Specifically, I remember contributions by Paul Johnson ("rockchalk" package) and John Fox ("effects" and "car" package) as their packages

I've been meaning send an announcement for this package, but Greg Snow beat me to the punch today. Max <snip> The odfWeave package is now available on CRAN at http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN/src/contrib/Descriptions/odfWeave.html and your local mirror. The package extends Sweave to Open Document Format (ODF) text document files. Latex-style code chunks and in-line Sexpr commands

Version 2.2 of coxme has been posted to CRAN, Windows versions and mirrors should appear in due course. This is a major update with three features of note: 1. A non-upwardly compatable change: Extractor functions: beta= fixed effects, b=random effects nlme lme4 coxme <2.2 coxme 2.2 lmekin 2.2 ------------------------------------------------------ beta

When I run the code below on Macintosh and Windows, the plot comes out fine. However, on Linux, the png generated is invalid from R console, and loading strucchange crashes rkward. Is this a known issue on Linux and, if so, is there a workaround? Many thanks! require(strucchange) data("RealInt") bp.ri <- breakpoints(RealInt~1, h=15) summary(bp.ri) fac.ri <- breakfactor(bp.ri,

Dear Martin, I think that your plan makes sense. It's too bad that aov() behaved differently in this respect from lm(), and thus created more work, but it's not be a bad thing that the difference is now explicit and documented. I expect that that other problems like this will surface, particularly with contributed packages (and I know that you're aware that this has already happened
