Package bit updated to version 1.1.0 with previous version 1.0-2 dated 2009-04-15

Author: Jens Oehlschlägel
Title: A class for vectors of 1-bit booleans
Description: bitmapped vectors of booleans (no NAs), coercion from and to logicals, integers and integer subscripts; fast boolean operators and fast summary statistics. With 'bit' vectors you can store true binary booleans {FALSE,TRUE} at the expense of 1 bit only, on a 32 bit architecture this means factor 32 less RAM and factor 32 more speed on boolean operations. With this speed gain it even pays-off to convert to bit in order to avoid a single boolean operation on logicals or a single set operation on (longer) integer subscripts, the pay-off is dramatic when such components are used more than once. Reading from and writing to bit is approximately as fast as accessing standard logicals - mostly due to R's time for memory allocation. The package allows to work with pre-allocated memory for return values by calling .Call() directly: when evaluating the speed of C-access with pre-allocated vector memory, coping from bit to logical requires only 70% of the time for copying from logical to logical; and copying from logical to bit comes at a performance penalty of 150%. the package now contains further classes for representing logical selections: 'bitwhich' for very skewed selections and 'ri' for selecting ranges of values for chunked processing. All three index classes can be used for subsetting 'ff' objects (ff-2.1.0 and higher).

New package DiversitySampler with initial version 1.0
Package: DiversitySampler
Type: Package
Title: Functions for re-sampling a community matrix to compute Shannon's Diversity index at different sampling levels.
Version: 1.0
Date: 2009-07-23
Author: Matthew K. Lau
Maintainer:
Description: There are two functions in this package, which can be used together to estimate the Shannon's Diversity index at different levels of sample size. A Monte-Carlo procedure is used to re-sample a given observation at each level of sampling. The expectation being that the mean of the re-sampling will approach Shannon's diversity index at that sample level.

Package ClinicalRobustPriors updated to version 2.1-2 with previous version 1.1-2 dated 2009-05-05

Author: Jairo A. Fuquene P.
Title: Robust Bayesian Priors in Clinical Trials: An R Package for Practitioners
Description: In a recent paper, Fuquene, Cook, & Pericchi (2008) (http://www.bepress.com/mdandersonbiostat/paper44 ) make a comprehensive proposal putting forward robust, heavy-tailed priors over conjugate, light-tailed priors in Bayesian analysis. The behavior of Robust Bayesian methods is qualitative different than Conjugate and short tailed Bayesian methods and arguably much more reasonable and acceptable to the practitioner and regulatory agencies. This package is useful to compute the distributions (prior, likelihood and posterior) and moments of the robust models: Cauchy/Binomial, Cauchy/Normal and Berger/Normal. Both, Binomial and Normal Likelihoods can be handled by the software. Furthermore, the assessment of the hyperparameters and the posterior analysis can be processed.
