similar to: Code Snippets

JSS is trying to develop it's Code Snippets section. We have some snippets lined up and one published in the latest volume http://www.jstatsoft.org/index.php?vol=16 If you have small chunks of code of obvious relevance to statistical computing (need not be in R) consider submitting it -- why keep it to yourself ? Just a matter of pasting a minimal amount of TeX into our templates and

The Journal of Statistical Software was founded by Jan de Leeuw in 1996. Currently, there are 26 volumes with 260 aricles and the journal publishes about 4 new volumes per year. The web address is www.jstatsoft.org. All articles are pdf files, since 2005 all produced from JSS LaTeX templates. JSS is edited by Jan de Leeuw, since 2005 jointly with Achim Zeileis of the Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien.

Many new things at http://www.cuddyvalley.org/psychoR/ The scalassoc package, which fits exponential distance association models to indicator matrices, it now at version 1.0.0. It seems to be robust and can analyze large examples easily. It is a major improvement (in speed and robustness) over the distassoc package, which is at the same site. scalassoc does something neat (if you like

but maybe of use to some: http://gifi.stat.ucla.edu/psychoR/derivatives Computes generalized eigenvalue solutions Ax=\lambda Bx and generalized singular value solutions Rz=\gamma Px and R'x=\gamma Qy for matrices that are differentiable functions of a vector of parameters. Along with the decomposition the code returns arrays with all first-order partial derivatives of the values/vector wrt

Over the last couple of years I have written quite a few R programs for various "psychometric" techniques, and I am regularly updating and expanding what is there. I now have (wholly or partially), or have planned -- gifi package (update to homals on CRAN). Code for multiple correspondence analysis, nonlinear principal component analysis, nonlinear multiset canonical

This is OS X 10.6. I can build llvm-gcc and llvm-g++ just fine, but the gfortran front end cannot find a symbol. Where would it normally be defined ? ==================================================================== /Developer/usr/bin/g++-4.2 -g -O2 -DIN_GCC -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -pedantic -Wno-long-long -Wno-variadic-macros

in 2007 we will publish seven volumes of JSS (four of them special volumes). Volume 18 Spectroscopy and Chemometrics in R Volume 19 regular Volume 20 Psychometrics in R Volume 21 regular Volume 22 Ecology and Ecological Modeling in R Volume 23 is being started, it is a regular volume, and may not fill up completely.

http://www.cuddyvalley.org/psychoR/code now contains version 1.4 of ca.R There are already many versions of CA and CCA in various R packages, but this one has some unique features, so maybe it is useful. The function ca() can do simple CA, but it also allows for linear restrictions on the row and column scores (they can be restricted to be in the span of a number of covariates). Thus the

I wrote some functions for multiway CANDECOMP, i.e. for least squares fitting of a_{i_1\cdots i_m}\approx\sum_{s=1}^p x^1_{i_1s}x^1_{i_1s}\cdots x^m_{i_ms} with arrays of arbitrary dimension. Reminded me of the good old APL days. I could not find this in the archives, but if it's already there, I would appreciate if someone let me know.

At www.jstatsoft.org we now have three special volumes Volume 22, Ecology and Ecological Modelling in R (Thomas Kneib and Thomas Petzoldt, eds.)

homals-0.9.0 is on CRAN -- by Jan de Leeuw and Patrick Mair This package implements the methods discussed in Gifi, Nonlinear Multivariate Analysis, Wiley, 1990. In the Gifi terminology it covers homals, princals, canals, morals, criminals, and overals. The R implementation fills several gaps in Gifi, adding multiple ordinal, numerical, and polynomial data transformations. Differences with

anacor-0.9.0 is on CRAN (by De Leeuw and Mair) anacor does correspondence analysis and canonical correspondence analysis. It can make row plots, column plots, joint plots, Benz?cri plots, regression plots, and transformation plots. Where appropriate, plots can be in 3d using either rgl or scatterplot3d. Row and column points can be in standard scaling, Benz?cri scaling, Goodman scaling,

http://www.jstatsoft.org JSS is now up to Volume 11. This year is the first multi-volume year, with three volumes so far. JSS now has its own ISSN number and its own CODEC. A JSS LaTeX format will become available soon. JSS is aiming to become an (electronic) ASA journal, independent of JCGS, soon. It's contents, including back issues, will also soon be in CIS.

More and more R packages come with a corresponding article in the Journal of Statistical Software (www.jstatsoft.org). Achim Zeileis, our TeXnical Editor, has recently contributed jss style files for issues, bookreviews, software reviews, and code snippets.
