Package pcalg updated to version 0.1-9 with previous version 0.1-8 dated 2009-03-06

Author: Markus Kalisch, Martin Maechler, Diego Colombo
Title: Estimation of CPDAG/PAG and causal inference
Description: Standard and robust estimation the equivalence class of a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) via the PC-Algorithm. The equivalence class is represented by its (unique) Completetd Partially Directed Acyclic Graph (CPDAG). The function pcSelect implements variable selection techniques based on the PC-algorithm. Furthermore, a PAG instead of a CPDAG can be estimated if latent variables and/or selection variables are assumed to be present. Functions for causal inference (using do-calculus of Judea Pearl) are provided for CPDAGs.

Package integrOmics updated to version 2.4 with previous version 2.3 dated 2009-07-18

Author: Sebastien Dejean, Ignacio Gonzalez and Kim-Anh Le Cao
Title: Integrate Omics data project
Description: The package supplies two efficients methodologies: regularized CCA and sparse PLS to unravel relationships between two heterogeneous data sets of size (nxp) and (nxq) where the p and q variables are measured on the same samples or individuals n. These data may come from high throughput technologies, such as omics data (e.g. transcriptomics, metabolomics or proteomics data) that require an integrative or joint analysis. However, integrOmics can also be applied to any other large data sets where p+q>>n. rCCA is a regularized version of CCA to deal with the large number of variables. sPLS allows variable selection in a one step procedure and two frameworks are proposed: regression and canonical analysis. Numerous graphical outputs are provided to help interpreting the results.

Package R.huge updated to version 0.1.9 with previous version 0.1.8 dated 2009-06-14

Author: Henrik Bengtsson
Title: Methods for accessing huge amounts of data [DEPRECATED]
Description: THIS PACKAGE HAS BEEN DEPRECATED. Do not start building new projects based on it. Cross-platform alternatives are the following packages: bigmemory (CRAN), ff (CRAN), BufferedMatrix (BioConductor). The main usage of it was inside the aroma.affymetrix package. (The package currently provides a class representing a matrix where the actual data is stored in a binary format on the local file system. This way the size limit of the data is set by the file system and not the memory.)

Package QCA updated to version 0.6-2 with previous version 0.6-1 dated 2009-09-22

Author: Adrian Dusa
Title: Qualitative Comparative Analysis
Description: Performs the Quine-McCluskey algorithm for Qualitative Comparative Analysis, both for bvQCA (binary-value QCA) and for mvQCA (multi-value QCA). In the classical approach it currently handles about 15 conditions and one outcome for binary data only, 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, it handles even more causal conditions and it can be used for mvQCA as well. 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
