Package plink updated to version 1.1-4 with previous version 1.1-3 dated 2009-06-14

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 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 bentcableAR updated to version 0.2.1 with previous version 0.2 dated 2009-06-18

Author: Grace Chiu , Assistant Professor, Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON, N2L 3G1, Canada
Title: Bent-Cable Regression for Independent Data or Autoregressive Time Series
Description: This package contains two main interfaces for fitting and diagnosing bent-cable regressions for autoregressive time-series data or independent data (time series or otherwise). The interfaces are 'bentcable.ar()' and 'bentcable.dev.plot()'. Some components in the package can also be used as stand-alone functions. The bent cable (linear-quadratic-linear) generalizes the broken stick (linear-linear), which is also handled by this package. Version 0.2 corrects a glitch in the computation of confidence intervals for the CTP.

Package flexclust updated to version 1.2-0 with previous version 1.1-2 dated 2009-02-22

Author: Friedrich Leisch
Title: Flexible Cluster Algorithms
Description: The main function kcca implements a general framework for k-centroids cluster analysis supporting arbitrary distance measures and centroid computation. Further cluster methods include hard competitive learning, neural gas, and QT clustering. There are numerous visualization methods for cluster results (neighborhood graphs, convex cluster hulls, barcharts of centroids, ...), and bootstrap methods for the analysis of cluster stability.
