CRAN (and crantastic) updates this week New packages ------------
* EffectStars (1.0) Maintainer: Unknown Author(s): Gunther Schauberger License: GPL-2 http://crantastic.org/packages/EffectStars The package provides functions to visualize regression models with categorical response. The effects of the covariates are plotted with star plots in order to allow for an optical impression of the fitted model. * extraBinomial (2.0) Maintainer: Xin Yang Author(s): Xin Yang License: GPL-3 http://crantastic.org/packages/extraBinomial This package tests for differences in minor allele frequency between groups and is based on an extra-binomial variation model for pooled sequencing data. A set of simulated pooled sequencing data can be generated using this package. * Familias (1.0) Maintainer: Petter Mostad Author(s): Petter Mostad <mos...@chalmers.se> License: GPL-2 http://crantastic.org/packages/Familias This package represents a bare-bones implementation of an interface to the core Familias functions (www.familias.name), which are programmed in C++. The package itself functions as a kind of database, where information about persons, pedigrees, allele systems and observations for persons are entered stepwise. In the end, probability calculations are made. * JPSurv (1.0.1) Maintainer: Yongwu Shao Author(s): Yongwu Shao <yws...@gmail.com>, License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/JPSurv Functions, methods, and datasets for cancer survival analysis, including the proportional hazard relative survival model, the join point relative survival model. * kappaSize (1.0) Maintainer: Michael A Rotondi Author(s): Michael A Rotondi <mroto...@yorku.ca> License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/kappaSize This package contains basic tools for the purpose of sample size estimation in studies of interobserver/interrater agreement (reliability). This package contains sample size estimation functions for both the power-based and confidence interval-based methods, with binary or multinomial outcomes and two through six raters. * koRpus (0.04-27) Maintainer: m.eik michalke Author(s): m.eik michalke <meik.micha...@hhu.de>, with contributions from Earl Brown <eabr...@csumb.edu>, Alberto Mirisola, and Laura Hauser License: GPL (>= 3) http://crantastic.org/packages/koRpus A set of tools to analyze texts. Includes, amongst others, functions for automatic language detection, hyphenation, several indices of lexical diversity (e.g., type token ratio, HD-D/vocd-D, MTLD) and readability (e.g., Flesch, SMOG, LIX, Dale-Chall). Basic import functions for language corpora are also provided, to enable frequency analyses (supports Celex and Leipzig Corpora Collection file formats). #' Note: For full functionality a local installation of TreeTagger is recommended. Be encouraged to send feedback to the author(s)! * networkDynamic (0.2-2) Maintainer: Ayn Leslie-Cook Author(s): Ayn Leslie-Cook, Zack Almquist, Pavel N. Krivitsky, Skye Bender-deMoll, David R. Hunter, Martina Morris, Carter T. Butts License: GPL-3 http://crantastic.org/packages/networkDynamic Simple interface routines to facilitate the handling of network objects with complex intertemporal data. * qLearn (1.0) Maintainer: Bibhas Chakraborty Author(s): Jingyi Xin, Bibhas Chakraborty, and Eric B. Laber License: GPL-2 http://crantastic.org/packages/qLearn Functions to implement Q-learning for estimating optimal dynamic treatment regimes from two stage sequentially randomized trials, and to perform inference via m-out-of-n bootstrap for parameters indexing the optimal regime. * Rdistance (1.0) Maintainer: Trent McDonald Author(s): Trent McDonald License: GNU General Public License http://crantastic.org/packages/Rdistance Analysis of line transect surveys. Estimates distance-based sightability functions and abundances. * relSim (0.1-33) Maintainer: James M. Curran Author(s): James M. Curran License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/relSim A set of tools to explore the behaviour statistics used for forensic DNA interpretation when close relatives are involved * RForcecom (0.1) Maintainer: Takekatsu Hiramura Author(s): Takekatsu Hiramura License: BSD http://crantastic.org/packages/RForcecom RForcecom provides the connection to Force.com (Salesforce.com) from R. * SAScii (0.1) Maintainer: Anthony Joseph Damico Author(s): Anthony Joseph Damico License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/SAScii Using any importation code designed for SAS users to read ASCII files into sas7bdat files, the SAScii package parses through the INPUT block of a (.sas) syntax file to design the parameters needed for a read.fwf function call. This allows the user to specify the location of the ASCII (often a .dat) file and the location of the .sas syntax file, and then load the data frame directly into R in just one step. * sessionTools (0.9-1) Maintainer: Matthew D. Furia Author(s): Matthew D. Furia <matt.fu...@sagebase.org> License: GPL-3 http://crantastic.org/packages/sessionTools This package builds on the save.session function by making installed packages, options and search paths savable and restorable. * shotGroups (0.1) Maintainer: Daniel Wollschlaeger Author(s): Daniel Wollschlaeger License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/shotGroups Analyzes shot group data: Read in data, plot, describe, and compare shot groups. Perform statistical tests including standard, nonparametric, and robust methods. Works with files exported by OnTarget PC and OnTarget TDS. * TTAinterfaceTrendAnalysis (1.0) Maintainer: David Devreker Author(s): David Devreker [aut, cre] License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/TTAinterfaceTrendAnalysis This interface was created to develop a standard procedure of temporal trend analysis in the framework of the OSPAR convention. It is based on 5 successive steps : chossing and simply manipulate your database, select the parameters you want to analyse, build your regulated time series, perform analysis and read the results all in one easy to use interface. Statistical analysis call other package function such as Kendall tests (wq package) or cusum function (Pastec package).
