Package sda updated to version 1.1.0 with previous version 1.0.3 dated 2008-12-08

Author: Miika Ahdesmaki and Korbinian Strimmer
Title: Shrinkage Discriminant Analysis and Feature Selection
Description: This package provides an efficient framework for high-dimensional linear and diagonal discriminant analysis with feature selection. The classifier is trained using Stein-type shrinkage estimators and features are ranked using correlation-adjusted t-scores. Feature selection is controlled using false non-discovery rates or higher criticism scores.

Package rngwell19937 updated to version 0.5-1 with previous version 0.5-0 dated 2009-03-05

Author: Petr Savicky
Title: WELL19937a random number generator implemented with 53 bit output
Description: Random number generator WELL19937a by F. Panneton, P. L'Ecuyer and M. Matsumoto with initialization using MRG32k5a by P. L'Ecuyer. WELL19937a is of similar type as Mersenne Twister (MT), is slightly slower than MT, has better equidistribution than MT and faster recovery from states with prevailing zeros. The output function may be set to provide numbers with 53 or 32 random bits.

Package penalized updated to version 0.9-23 with previous version 0.9-22 dated 2008-09-29

Author: Jelle Goeman
Title: L1 (lasso) and L2 (ridge) penalized estimation in GLMs and in the Cox model
Description: A package for fitting possibly high dimensional penalized regression models. The penalty structure can be any combination of an L1 penalty (lasso), an L2 penalty (ridge) and a positivity constraint on the regression coefficients. The supported regression models are linear, logistic and poisson regression and the Cox Proportional Hazards model. Cross-validation routines allow optimization of the tuning parameters.
