New package gausspred with initial version 1.0-0
Package: gausspred
Version: 1.0-0
Title: Bayesian Classification with High-dimensional Gaussian Profiles
Author: Longhai Li
Maintainer: Longhai Li
Depends: R (>= 2.8.1)
Description: This software is used to predict the discrete response based on selected high dimensional features, such as gene expression data. The data are modeled with Bayesian Gaussian models. When a large number of features are available, one may like to select only a subset of features to use, typically those features strongly correlated with the response in training cases. Such a feature selection procedure is however invalid since the relationship between the response and the features will appear stronger. This package provides a way to avoid this bias and yields well-calibrated prediction for the test cases when one uses F-statistic to select features.

Package car updated to version 1.2-15 with previous version 1.2-14 dated 2009-04-23

Author: John Fox . I am grateful to Douglas Bates, David Firth, Michael Friendly, Gregor Gorjanc, Spencer Graves, Richard Heiberger, Georges Monette, Henric Nilsson, Derek Ogle, Brian Ripley, Sanford Weisberg, and Achim Zeileis for various suggestions and contributions.
Title: Companion to Applied Regression
Description: This package accompanies J. Fox, An R and S-PLUS Companion to Applied Regression, Sage, 2002. The package contains mostly functions for applied regression, linear models, and generalized linear models, with an emphasis on regression diagnostics, particularly graphical diagnostic methods. There are also some utility functions. With some exceptions, I have tried not to duplicate capabilities in the basic distribution of R, nor in widely used packages. Where relevant, the functions in car are consistent with na.action = na.omit or na.exclude.
