Wong.
Title: Spatial Point Pattern analysis, model-fitting, simulation, tests
Description: A package for analysing spatial data, mainly Spatial Point Patterns, including multitype/marked points and spatial covariates, in any two-dimensional spatial region. Contains functions for plotting spatial data, exploratory data analysis, model-fitting, simulation, spatial sampling, model diagnostics, and formal inference. Data types include point patterns, line segment patterns, spatial windows, and pixel images. Point process models can be fitted to point pattern data. Cluster type models are fitted by the method of minimum contrast. Very general Gibbs point process models can be fitted to point pattern data using a function ppm similar to lm or glm. Models may include dependence on covariates, interpoint interaction and dependence on marks. Fitted models can be simulated automatically. Also provides facilities for formal inference (such as chi-squared tests) and model diagnostics (including simulation envelopes, residuals, residual plots and Q-Q plots).

Title: Provides SABRE functionality from within R
Author: R. Crouchley
Maintainer: R. Crouchley
Type: Package
URL: http://sabre.lancs.ac.uk/sabreRuse_intro.html
Description: sabreR is a package for the statistical analysis of multi-process random effect response data. These responses can take the form of binary, ordinal, count and linear recurrent events. The response sequences can be of different types. Such multi-process data is common in many research areas, e.g. the analysis of work and life histories. sabreR may be used for analyisng longitudinal datasets surveys either with recurrent information collected over time or with a clustered sampling scheme.
