Package rgdal updated to version 0.5-27 with previous version 0.5-26 dated 2008-09-28

Author: Timothy H. Keitt , Roger Bivand , Edzer Pebesma , Barry Rowlingson
Title: Bindings for the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library
Description: Provides bindings to Frank Warmerdam's Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL) (>= 1.3.1) and access to projection/transformation operations from the PROJ.4 library. The GDAL and PROJ.4 libraries are external to the package, and, when installing the package from source, must be correctly installed first. Both GDAL raster and OGR vector map data can be imported into R, and GDAL raster data and OGR vector data exported. Use is made of classes defined in the sp package.

Package RCurl updated to version 0.91-0 with previous version 0.9-4 dated 2008-07-28

Author: Duncan Temple Lang
Title: HTTP request interface
Description: The package allows one to compose HTTP requests to fetch URIs, post forms, etc. and process the results returned by the Web server. This provides a great deal of control over the HTTP connection and the form of the request while providing a higher-level interface than is available just using R socket connections. Additionally, the underlying implementation is robust and extensive, supporting SSL/HTTPS, cookies, redirects, authentication, etc.

Package gsubfn updated to version 0.3-7 with previous version 0.3-3 dated 2006-10-28

Author: G. Grothendieck
Title: Utilities for strings and function arguments.
Description: gsubfn is like gsub but can take a replacement function or proto object rather than a replacement string. Matches and back references are input to the function and replaced by the function output. In the case of a proto object the object is used for sharing information from one match to the next. gsubfn can be used to split strings based on content rather than delimiters and for quasi-perl-style string interpolation. The package also has facilities for translating formulas to functions and allowing such formulas in function calls instead of functions. This can reduce code size and improve clarity when using apply, lapply, optim, integrate, xyplot and any other function that expects another function as an input argument. gsubfn also provides for quasi-perl string interpolation in arguments of any existing R function.

New package SGP with initial version 0.0-1
Package: SGP
Version: 0.0-1
Date: 2008-10-16
Title: Student Growth Percentile and Percentile Growth Projection/Trajectory Functions
Depends: R (>= 2.7.0), splines, quantreg
Author: Damian W. Betebenner , with contributions from Jonathan Weeks, Jinnie Choi, Xin Wei, and Hi Shin Shim
Maintainer: Damian W. Betebenner
Description: Functions to calculate growth percentile and projections for students using large scale, longitudinal assessment data. These norm referenced growth values are presently used in some state testing and accountability systems. The functions use quantile regression techniques package to estimate the conditional density associated with each students achievement history. Student Growth Projections (i.e., percentile growth trajectories) are calculated using the coefficient matrices derived from the quantile regression analyses and help to identify what it will take for students to reach future achievement targets.
