Package epibasix updated to version 1.1 with previous version 0.1 dated 2007-10-16

Author: Michael A Rotondi
Title: Elementary Epidemiological Functions for a Graduate Epidemiology\Biostatistics Course
Description: This package contains elementary tools for analysis of common epidemiological problems, ranging from sample size estimation, through 2x2 contingency table analysis and basic measures of agreement (kappa, sensitivity/specificity). Appropriate print and summary statements are also written to facilitate interpretation wherever possible. This package is a work in progress, so any comments or suggestions would be appreciated. Source code is commented throughout to facilitate modification. The target audience includes graduate students in various epi/biostatistics courses.

Package FrF2 updated to version 0.92-5 with previous version 0.92-4 dated 2009-05-15

Author: Ulrike Groemping
Title: Fractional Factorial designs with 2-level factors
Description: This package creates regular and non-regular Fractional Factorial designs. Furthermore, analysis tools for Fractional Factorial designs with 2-level factors are offered (main effects and interaction plots for all factors simultaneously, cube plot for looking at the simultaneous effects of three factors, full or half normal plot, alias structure in a more readable format than with the built-in function alias). The package is currently subject to intensive development. While much of the intended functionality is already available, some changes and improvements are still to be expected. Suggestions are welcome.

Package Design updated to version 2.2-0 with previous version 2.1-2 dated 2008-11-04

Author: Frank E Harrell Jr
Title: Design Package
Description: Regression modeling, testing, estimation, validation, graphics, prediction, and typesetting by storing enhanced model design attributes in the fit. Design is a collection of about 180 functions that assist and streamline modeling, especially for biostatistical and epidemiologic applications. It also contains new functions for binary and ordinal logistic regression models and the Buckley-James multiple regression model for right-censored responses, and implements penalized maximum likelihood estimation for logistic and ordinary linear models. Design works with almost any regression model, but it was especially written to work with logistic regression, Cox regression, accelerated failure time models, ordinary linear models, the Buckley-James model, and generalized least squares for serially or spatially correlated observations.

Title: Easy analysis and visualization of factorial experiments.
Description: This package facilitates easy analysis of factorial experiments, including purely within-Ss designs (a.k.a. "repeated measures"), purely between-Ss designs, and mixed within-and-between-Ss designs. The functions in this package provide easy access to descriptive statistics, ANOVA, permutation tests, and visualization of results.

New package binomSamSize with initial version 0.1-1
Package: binomSamSize
Type: Package
Title: Confidence intervals and sample size determination for a binomial proportion under simple random sampling and pooled sampling
Version: 0.1-1
Date: 2009-05-17
Author: Michael Hoehle with contributions by Wei Liu
Maintainer: Michael Hoehle
Depends: binom
Description: A suite of functions to compute confidence intervals and necessary sample sizes for the parameter p of the Bernoulli B(p) distribution under simple random sampling or under pooled sampling. Such computations are e.g. of interest when investigating the incidence or prevalence in populations. The package contains functions to compute coverage probabilities and coverage coefficients of the provided confidence intervals procedures. Sample size calculations are based on expected length.

Package RCurl updated to version 0.95-1 with previous version 0.94-1 dated 2009-02-07

Author: Duncan Temple Lang
Title: HTTP request interface
Description: The package allows one to compose general HTTP requests and provides convenient functions to fetch URIs, get & post forms, etc. and process the results returned by the Web server. This provides a great deal of control over the HTTP/FTP/... 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 FTP/FTPS/TFTP (uploads and downloads), SSL/HTTPS, telnet, dict, ldap, and also supports cookies, redirects, authentication, etc.
