Package plink updated to version 1.2-2 with previous version 1.2-1 dated 2009-09-29

Author: Jonathan P. Weeks
Title: IRT Separate Calibration Linking Methods
Description: This package uses item response theory methods to compute linking constants and conduct chain linking of unidimensional or multidimensional tests for multiple groups under a common item design. The unidimensional methods include the Mean/Mean, Mean/Sigma, Haebara, and Stocking-Lord methods for dichotomous (1PL, 2PL and 3PL) and/or polytomous (graded response, partial credit/generalized partial credit, nominal, and multiple-choice model) items. The multidimensional methods include the Reckase-Martineau method and extensions of the Haebara and Stocking-Lord method using a single dilation parameter, multiple dilation parameters, or the Oshima, Davey, & Lee approach for multidimensional extensions of all the unidimensional dichotomous and polytomous item response models. The package also includes functions for importing item and/or ability parameters from common IRT software, conducting IRT true score and observed score equating, and plotting item response curves/surfaces, vector plots, and comparison plots for examining parameter drift.

Title: Statistical Analysis of Fuzzy Data
Version: 0.02
Date: 2009-10-15
Author: Wolfgang Trutschnig , Asun Lubiano
Maintainer: Wolfgang Trutschnig , Asun Lubiano
Depends: R (>= 2.8.0)
Description: The aim of the package is to provide some basic functions for doing statistics with one dimensional Fuzzy Data (in the form of polygonal fuzzy numbers). In particular, the package contains functions for the basic operations on the class of fuzzy numbers (sum, scalar product, mean, Hukuhara difference) as well as for calculating (Bertoluzza) distance, sample variance, sample covariance, sample correlation, and the Dempster-Shafer (levelwise) histogram. Moreover a function to simulate fuzzy random variables, bootstrap tests for the equality of means, and a function to do linear regression given trapezoidal fuzzy data is included.

Package frailtypack updated to version 2.2-9.5 with previous version 2.1-1 dated 2008-07-28

Author: Juan R González, Virginie Rondeau and Yassin Mazroui
Title: Frailty models using maximum penalized likelihood estimation
Description: Frailtypack now fits several classes of frailty models using Penalized Likelihood on the hazard function. 1) A shared gamma frailty model and Cox proportional hazards model. Left truncated, censored data and strata (max=2) are allowed. Clustered and recurrent survival times can be studied (the Andersen-Gill(1982) approach has been implemented for recurrent events). An automatic choice of the smoothing parameter is possible using an approximated cross-validation procedure. 2) Additive frailty models for proportional hazards models with two correlated random effects (intercept random effect with random slope). 3) Nested frailty models for hierarchically clustered data (with 2 levels of clustering) by including two iid gamma random effects. 4) Joint frailty models in the context of joint modelling of recurrent events with terminal event.
