Package survey updated to version 3.18 with previous version 3.17 dated 2009-09-18

Author: Thomas Lumley
Title: analysis of complex survey samples
Description: Summary statistics, generalised linear models, cumulative link models, Cox models, loglinear models, and general maximum pseudolikelihood estimation for multistage stratified, cluster-sampled, unequally weighted survey samples. Variances by Taylor series linearisation or replicate weights. Post-stratification, calibration, and raking. Two-phase subsampling designs. Graphics. Predictive margins by direct standardization. PPS sampling without replacement.

Package fields updated to version 6.01 with previous version 5.02 dated 2009-02-09

Author: Reinhard Furrer, Douglas Nychka and Stephen Sain
Title: Tools for spatial data
Description: Fields is for curve, surface and function fitting with an emphasis on splines, spatial data and spatial statistics. The major methods include cubic, robust, and thin plate splines, multivariate Kriging and Kriging for large data sets. A major feature is that any covariance function implemented in R can be used for spatial prediction. There are also many useful functions for plotting and working with spatial data as images. This package also contains an implementation of a sparse matrix methods for large data sets and currently requires the sparse matrix (spam) package for testing (but not for the standard spatial functions.) Use help(fields) to get started and for an overview.

Package MLCM updated to version 0.0-3 with previous version 0.0-2 dated 2009-09-18

Author: Kenneth Knoblauch and Laurence T. Maloney
Title: Maximum Likelihood Conjoint Measurement
Description: Conjoint measurement is a psychophysical procedure in which stimulus pairs are presented that vary along 2 or more dimensions and the observer is required to compare the stimuli along one of them. This package contains functions to estimate the contribution of the n scales to the judgment by a maximum likelihood method under several hypotheses of how the perceptual dimensions interact.

Package mefa updated to version 3.1-2 with previous version 3.1-0 dated 2009-06-17

Author: Peter Solymos
Title: Multivariate Data Handling in Ecology and Biogeography
Description: A framework package aimed to provide standardized computational environment for specialist work via object classes to represent the data coded by samples, taxa and segments (i.e. subpopulations, repeated measures). It supports easy processing of the data along with cross tabulation and relational data tables for samples and taxa. An object of class `mefa' is a project specific compendium of the data and can be easily used in further analyses. Methods are provided for extraction, aggregation, conversion, plotting, summary and reporting of `mefa' objects. Reports can be generated in plain text or LaTeX format. Vignette contains worked examples.

Package QCA updated to version 0.6-1 with previous version 0.6-0 dated 2009-09-21

Author: Adrian Dusa
Title: Qualitative Comparative Analysis
Description: Performs the Quine-McCluskey algorithm for Qualitative Comparative Analysis, as described in Ragin, Charles C. 1987 "The Comparative Method. Moving beyond qualitative and quantitative strategies", Berkeley: University of California Press. In the classical approach it currently handles about 15 conditions and one outcome, but since version 0.4-5 the package has an enhanced, faster function that obtains the same exact solutions with a substantially lower memory consumption, and it handles even more causal conditions. The next versions of this algorithm will be oriented towards fuzzy-set functions. Also, in the near future the current functions will deal with missing values in the data

New package MCMChybridGP with initial version 2.1
Package: MCMChybridGP
Type: Package
Title: Hybrid Markov chain Monte Carlo using Gaussian Processes
Version: 2.1
Date: 2009-09-22
Author: Mark J. Fielding
Maintainer: Mark J. Fielding
Depends: MASS
Description: Hybrid Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) to simulate from a multimodal target distribution. A Gaussian process approximation makes this possible when derivatives are unknown. The Package serves to minimize the number of function evaluations in Bayesian calibration of computer models using parallel tempering. It allows replacement of the true target distribution in high temperature chains, or complete replacement of the target. Methods used are described in, "Efficient MCMC schemes for Bayesian calibration of computer models", Fielding, Mark, Nott, David J. and Liong Shie-Yui (2009), in preparation. The authors gratefully acknowledge the support & contributions of the Singapore-Delft Water Alliance (SDWA). The research presented in this work was carried out as part of the SDWA's Multi-Objective Multi-Reservoir Management research programme (R-264-001-272).
