A reviewer of a paper that I wrote, of which the "hse" package was a central consideration, thought that users might find the name "hse" ("hope springs eternal") to be indicative of a lack of seriousness.
Consequently I have changed the name of the package to "dbd" ("discretised beta distribution"). The underlying distribution, on which the package is focussed, is now called "db" ("discretised beta"). The "hse" package still exists, *only* in order to produce a message (when the package is loaded) to the effect that the package is deprecated and that users should install and utilse the dbd package instead. The dbd package includes a number of modifications which (it is to be hoped) make it an improvement over the hse package that it replaces. I would be grateful to anyone who points out any problems with or errors in the dbd package. cheers, Rolf Turner -- Honorary Research Fellow Department of Statistics University of Auckland Phone: +64-9-373-7599 ext. 88276 ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
