Several of the contrib packages were upgraded today. Most notably, Thomas rewrote parts of gee which were copied from Numerical Recipes. Also, I added a port of the `oz' package which seems to work fine. The current INDEX file is attached. I've made several changes as suggested. CRAN should be announced soon (hopefully I can get to upgrading the FAQ tonight). -k *********************************************** CRAN/source/contrib currently contains: acepack.tar.gz: ace (Alternating Conditional Expectations) and avas (Additivity and variance stabilization for regression) for selecting regression transformations. S avas original by Rob Tibshirani <tibs@utstat.toronto.edu>, FORTRAN ace code by Friedman & Spector from Statlib. R package by Thomas Lumley <thomas@biostat.washington.edu>. (avas ported; ace modified to use double precision, and an R interface cloned from the avas() one). [1997/04/14] bootstrap.tar.gz: Software (bootstrap, cross-validation, jackknife), data and errata for the book "An Introduction to the Bootstrap" by B. Efron and R. Tibshirani, 1993, Chapman and Hall. S original by Rob Tibshirani <tibs@utstat.toronto.edu>. R port by Fritz Leisch <Friedrich.Leisch@ci.tuwien.ac.at>. [1997/04/14] ctest.tar.gz: A library of classical tests, including the Bartlett, Fisher, Kruskal-Wallis, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, and Wilcoxon tests. Written by Kurt Hornik <Kurt.Hornik@ci.tuwien.ac.at>. [1997/04/08] date.tar.gz: Functions for dealing with dates. The most useful of them accepts a vector of input dates in any of the forms 8/30/53, 30Aug53, 30 August 1953,..., August 30 53, or any mixture of these. S original by Terry Therneau <therneau@mayo.edu>. R port by Thomas Lumley <thomas@biostat.washington.edu>. [1997/04/08] e1071.tar.gz: Miscellaneous functions used at the Department of Statistics at TU Wien (E1071). Compiled by Fritz Leisch <Friedrich.Leisch@ci.tuwien.ac.at>. [1997/04/14] fracdiff.tar.gz: Maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters of a fractionally differenced ARIMA(p,d,q) model (Haslett and Raftery, Applied Statistics, 1989). S original by Chris Fraley <fraley@stat.washington.edu>. R port by Fritz Leisch <Friedrich.Leisch@ci.tuwien.ac.at>. [1997/04/08] gee.tar.gz: An implementation of the Liang/Zeger generalized estimating equation approach to GLMs for dependent data. S original by Vincent Carey <carey@biostat.harvard.edu> and Aidan McDermott. R port by Thomas Lumley <thomas@biostat.washington.edu>. [1997/04/14] jpn.tar.gz: A function to plot Japan's coast-line and prefecture boundaries. S original by Ritei Shibata <shibata@statlab.math.keio.ac.jp>. R port by Kurt Hornik <Kurt.Hornik@ci.tuwien.ac.at>. [1997/04/08] oz.tar.gz: Functions for plotting Australias coastline and state boundaries. S original by Bill Venables <Bill.Venables@adelaide.edu.au>. R port by Kurt Hornik <Kurt.Hornik@ci.tuwien.ac.at>. [1997/04/14] snns.tar.gz: An R interface to the Stuttgart Neural Networks Simulator (SNNS). Written by Fritz Leisch <Friedrich.Leisch@ci.tuwien.ac.at>. [1997/04/14] splines.tar.gz: Regression spline functions. R port by Thomas Lumley <thomas@biostat.washington.edu>, based on the S packages `splines' by Doug Bates <bates@stat.wisc.edu> and `safe.predict' by John Chambers and Trevor Hastie. [1997/04/08] survival4.tar.gz: Functions for survival analysis. This ``port'' is not complete yet, because it requires a few changes to the R system itself rather than the add-on package, but most of the functionality is already available. Requires splines. S original by Terry Therneau <therneau@mayo.edu>. R port by Thomas Lumley <thomas@biostat.washington.edu>.
