Package vegetarian updated to version 1.1 with previous version 1.0 dated 2009-08-09

Author: Noah Charney, Sydne Record
Title: Jost Diversity Measures for Community Data
Description: This package computes diversity for community data sets using the methods outlined by Jost (2006, 2007). While there are differing opinions on the ideal way to calculate diversity (e.g. Magurran 2004), this method offers the advantage of providing diversity numbers equivalents, independent alpha and beta diversities, and the ability to incorporate 'order' (q) as a continuous measure of the importance of rare species in the metrics. The functions provided in this package largely correspond with the equations offered by Jost in the cited papers. The package computes alpha diversities, beta diversities, gamma diversities, and similarity indices. Confidence intervals for diversity measures are calculated using a bootstrap method described by Chao et al. (2008). For datasets with many samples (sites, plots), sim.table creates tables of all pairwise comparisons possible, and for grouped samples sim.groups calculates pairwise combinations of within- and between-group comparisons.

Package FrF2 updated to version 0.97-7 with previous version 0.97-6 dated 2009-08-21

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 bnlearn updated to version 1.6 with previous version 1.5 dated 2009-07-21

Author: Marco Scutari
Title: Bayesian network structure learning
Description: Bayesian network structure learning via constraint-based (also known as 'conditional independence'), score-based and hybrid algorithms. This package implements the Grow-Shrink (GS) algorithm, the Incremental Association (IAMB) algorithm, the Interleaved-IAMB (Inter-IAMB) algorithm, the Fast-IAMB (Fast-IAMB) algorithm, the Max-Min Parents and Children (MMPC) algorithm, the Hill-Climbing (HC) greedy search algorithm, the Max-Min Hill-Climbing (MMHC) algorithm for both discrete and Gaussian networks, along with many score functions and conditional independence tests. Some utility functions (model comparison and manipulation, random data generation, arc orientation testing, simple and advanced plots) are included, as well as basic parametric and bootstrap inference functions.
