Package RCurl updated to version 0.97-3 with previous version 0.95-1 dated 2009-05-18

Author: Duncan Temple Lang
Title: General network (HTTP/FTP/...) client interface for R
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.

Package simone updated to version 0.1-3 with previous version 0.1-2 dated 2009-02-23

Author: Christophe Ambroise , Julien Chiquet , Gilles Grasseau , Alexander Adam Smith
Title: Statistical Inference for MOdular NEtworks (SIMoNe)
Description: The SIMoNe algorithm iteratively combines edge estimation and node classification on the basis of a mixture model for edge weight distributions. Edges inference may be managed via two alternative methods: GLasso and Meinhausan-Buhlman's approach. Node Classification is managed by MixNet, a mixture model for random graphs.

Package runjags updated to version 0.9.4-2 with previous version 0.9.3-3 dated 2009-01-08

Author: Matthew Denwood (funded as part of the DEFRA VTRI project 0101).
Title: Run Bayesian MCMC Models in the BUGS syntax from Within R
Description: A set of functions to allow any user specified model to be run in JAGS from within R, returning the MCMC chains as R objects. Includes functions to read external WinBUGS type textfiles, and allows several ways of automatically specifying model data from existing R objects or R functions. Also includes functions to automatically calculate model run length, autocorrealtion and Gelman Rubin statistic diagnostics for all models to simplify the process of achieving chain convergence. Designed for maximum compatibility with WinBUGS syntax, although minor modification to existing .bug files will be required. Requires Just Another Gibbs Sampler (JAGS) for most functions, see: http://www-fis.iarc.fr/~martyn/software/jags/

Package penalized updated to version 0.9-24 with previous version 0.9-23 dated 2009-03-12

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.

Package plink updated to version 1.1-1 with previous version 1.1-0 dated 2009-05-15

Author: Jonathan P. Weeks
Title: IRT Separate Calibration Linking Methods
Description: This package uses item response theory methods to compute linking constants and conduct chain linking of unidimensional or multidimensional tests for multiple groups under a nonequivalent groups common item design. The unidimensional methods include the Mean/Mean, Mean/Sigma, Haebara, and Stocking-Lord methods for dichotomous (1PL, 2PL and 3PL) and/or polytomous (graded response, partial credit/generalized partial credit, nominal, and multiple-choice model) items. The multidimensional methods include the Reckase-Martineau method and extensions of the Haebara and Stocking-Lord method using a single dilation parameter, multiple dilation parameters, or the Oshima, Davey, & Lee approach for multidimensional extensions of all the unidimensional dichotomous and polytomous item response models. The package also includes functions for importing item and/or ability parameters from common IRT software and ploting item characteristic/category curves or surfaces and vector plots.

Package HH updated to version 2.1-29 with previous version 2.1-28 dated 2009-05-25

Author: Richard M. Heiberger
Title: Statistical Analysis and Data Display: Heiberger and Holland
Description: Support software for Statistical Analysis and Data Display (Springer, ISBN 0-387-40270-5). This contemporary presentation of statistical methods features extensive use of graphical displays for exploring data and for displaying the analysis. The authors demonstrate how to analyze data---showing code, graphics, and accompanying computer listings---for all the methods they cover. They emphasize how to construct and interpret graphs, discuss principles of graphical design, and show how accompanying traditional tabular results are used to confirm the visual impressions derived directly from the graphs. Many of the graphical formats are novel and appear here for the first time in print. All chapters have exercises.
