Package plink updated to version 1.1-5 with previous version 1.1-4 dated 2009-06-19

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, vector plots, and comparison plots for examining parameter drift.

Package tgp updated to version 2.2-3 with previous version 2.2-2 dated 2009-05-29

Author: Robert B. Gramacy and Matt A. Taddy
Title: Bayesian treed Gaussian process models
Description: Bayesian nonstationary, semiparametric nonlinear regression and design by treed Gaussian processes with jumps to the limiting linear model (LLM). Special cases also implemented include Bayesian linear models, CART, treed linear models, stationary separable and isotropic Gaussian processes. Provides 1-d and 2-d plotting functions (with projection and slice capabilities) and tree drawing, designed for visualization of tgp-class output. Sensitivity analysis and multi-resolution models are supported. Sequential experimental design and adaptive sampling functions are also provided, including ALM, ALC, and expected improvement. The latter supports derivative-free optimization of noisy black-box functions.

Package RgoogleMaps updated to version 1.1.5 with previous version 1.1.4 dated 2009-07-18

Author: Markus Loecher, Sense Networks
Title: Overlays on Google map tiles in R
Description: This package serves two purposes: (i) Provide a comfortable R interface to query the Google server for static maps, and (ii) Use the map as a background image to overlay plots within R. This requires proper coordinate scaling. NOTE: To do anything but downloading static map tiles, RgoogleMaps needs EITHER rgdal OR ReadImages OR rimage installed ! Such an OR dependency is difficult to express in the Depends field, so I moved those packages to suggested. rgdal is your package if you prefer png file format and ReadImages or rimage if you prefer jpg format. In the latter cases, you will also need the libjpeg library installed.
