I have uploaded version 0.6 of the Epi package to CRAN, where it will be available soon. The package homepage is: http://www.pubhealth.ku.dk/~bxc/Epi/ A few bugs have been corrected. Below is a list of changes. Any comments are welcome.

Newcombes method 10 is still used in twoby2. o apc.fit() added. Fits age-period-cohort models with a range of possibilities for parametrizations. o Functions for time-splitting at arbitrary times and at recurrent failures have been added: isec(), icut(), fcut1(), fcut() and ex1(). Eventually they will be superseded by new facilities in Lexis. o Function apc.plot() to make a plot of an apc fit is added. It is just a wrapper for apc.frame() and apc.lines(), with suitable computation of the paramters supplied to apc.frame. o Lexis.lines(): pch.fail and col.fail expands to vectors of length two if only one value is given. o ci.cum() aimed at computing cumulative hazard functions from parametric functions for hazards. o Problem in print.floated() with printing of objects of class "floated" fixed. o Problem in ci.lin when subset did not match any factor names and diff=T was given the function crashed. Fixed, and documentation updated. o cal.yr produces objects of class c("cal.yr","numeric"). Functions as.Date.numeric and as.Date.cal.yr added.
