Package digest updated to version 0.4.1 with previous version 0.4.0 dated 2009-09-24

Author: Dirk Eddelbuettel with contributions by Antoine Lucas, Jarek Tuszynski, Henrik Bengtsson and Simon Urbanek
Title: Create cryptographic hash digests of R objects
Description: The digest package provides functions for the creation of `hash' digests of arbitrary R objects using the md5, sha-1, sha-256 and crc32 algorithms permitting easy comparison of R language objects. The md5 algorithm by Ron Rivest is specified in RFC 1321, the SHA-1 and SHA-256 algorithms are specified in FIPS-180-1 and FIPS-180-2, and the crc32 algorithm is described in ftp://ftp.rocksoft.com/cliens/rocksoft/papers/crc_v3.txt. For md5, sha-1 and sha-256, this packages uses small standalone C implementations that were provided by Christophe Devine. For crc32, code from the zlib library is used. Please note that this package is not meant to be deployed for cryptographic purposes for which more comprehensive (and widely tested) libraries such as OpenSSL should be used.

Package party updated to version 0.9-999 with previous version 0.9-998 dated 2009-06-17

Author: Torsten Hothorn, Kurt Hornik, Carolin Strobl and Achim Zeileis
Title: A Laboratory for Recursive Partytioning
Description: A computational toolbox for recursive partitioning. The core of the package is ctree(), an implementation of conditional inference trees which embed tree-structured regression models into a well defined theory of conditional inference procedures. This non-parametric class of regression trees is applicable to all kinds of regression problems, including nominal, ordinal, numeric, censored as well as multivariate response variables and arbitrary measurement scales of the covariates. Based on conditional inference trees, cforest() provides an implementation of Breiman's random forests. The function mob() implements an algorithm for recursive partitioning based on parametric models (e.g. linear models, GLMs or survival regression) employing parameter instability tests for split selection. Extensible functionality for visualizing tree-structured regression models is available.

Package MNP updated to version 2.6-1 with previous version 2.5-6 dated 2008-03-25

Author: Kosuke Imai , David A. van Dyk .
Title: R Package for Fitting the Multinomial Probit Model
Description: MNP is a publicly available R package that fits the Bayesian multinomial probit model via Markov chain Monte Carlo. The multinomial probit model is often used to analyze the discrete choices made by individuals recorded in survey data. Examples where the multinomial probit model may be useful include the analysis of product choice by consumers in market research and the analysis of candidate or party choice by voters in electoral studies. The MNP software can also fit the model with different choice sets for each individual, and complete or partial individual choice orderings of the available alternatives from the choice set. The estimation is based on the efficient marginal data augmentation algorithm that is developed by Imai and van Dyk (2005). ``A Bayesian Analysis of the Multinomial Probit Model Using the Data Augmentation,'' Journal of Econometrics, Vol. 124, No. 2 (February), pp. 311-334. Detailed examples are given in Imai and van Dyk (2005). ``MNP: R Package for Fitting the Multinomial Probit Model.'' Journal of Statistical Software, Vol. 14, No. 3 (May), pp. 1-32.
