Title: Spatial Point Pattern analysis, model-fitting, simulation, tests
Description: A package for analysing spatial data, mainly Spatial Point Patterns, including multitype/marked points and spatial covariates, in any two-dimensional spatial region. Also supports three-dimensional point patterns. Contains functions for plotting spatial data, exploratory data analysis, model-fitting, simulation, spatial sampling, model diagnostics, and formal inference. Data types include point patterns, line segment patterns, spatial windows, pixel images and tessellations. Point process models can be fitted to point pattern data. Cluster type models are fitted by the method of minimum contrast. Very general Gibbs point process models can be fitted to point pattern data using a function ppm similar to lm or glm. Models may include dependence on covariates, interpoint interaction and dependence on marks. Fitted models can be simulated automatically. Also provides facilities for formal inference (such as chi-squared tests) and model diagnostics (including simulation envelopes, residuals, residual plots and Q-Q plots).

Package rootSolve updated to version 1.5 with previous version 1.4 dated 2009-06-29

Author: Karline Soetaert
Title: Nonlinear root finding, equilibrium and steady-state analysis of ordinary differential equations
Description: Routines to find the root of nonlinear functions, and to perform steady-state and equilibrium analysis of ordinary differential equations (ODE). Includes routines that: (1) generate gradient and Jacobian matrices (full and banded), (2) find roots of non-linear equations by the Newton-Raphson method, (3) estimate steady-state conditions of a system of (differential) equations in full, banded or sparse form, using the Newton-Raphson method, or by dynamically running, (4) solve the steady-state conditions for uni-and multicomponent 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D partial differential equations, that have been converted to ODEs by numerical differencing (using the method-of-lines approach). Includes fortran code.

Package rattle updated to version 2.5.12 with previous version 2.5.11 dated 2009-12-07

Author: Graham Williams
Title: A graphical user interface for data mining in R using GTK
Description: Rattle (the R Analytic Tool To Learn Easily) provides a Gnome (RGtk2) based interface to R functionality for data mining. The aim is to provide a simple and intuitive interface that allows a user to quickly load data from a CSV file (or via ODBC), transform and explore the data, build and evaluate models, and export models as PMML (predictive modelling markup language) or as scores. All of this with knowing little about R. All R commands are logged and commented through the log tab and so available to the user as a script file or as an aide to the user to interact directly with R itself. Rattle also exports a number of utility functions and the graphical user interface, invoked as rattle(), does not need to be run to deploy these.

Package deSolve updated to version 1.6 with previous version 1.5-1 dated 2009-11-23

Author: Karline Soetaert , Thomas Petzoldt , R. Woodrow Setzer
Title: General solvers for initial value problems of ordinary differential equations (ODE), partial differential equations (PDE) and differential algebraic equations (DAE)
Description: Functions that solve initial value problems of a system of first-order ordinary differential equations (ODE), of partial differential equations (PDE) and of differential algebraic equations (DAE). The functions provide an interface to the FORTRAN functions lsoda, lsodar, lsode, lsodes of the ODEPACK collection, to the FORTRAN functions dvode and daspk and a C-implementation of solvers of the Runge-Kutta family with fixed or variable time steps. The package contains routines designed for solving ODEs resulting from 1-D, 2-D and 3-D partial differential equations (PDE) that have been converted to ODEs by numerical differencing.

Package bipartite updated to version 1.06 with previous version 1.05 dated 2009-12-06

Author: Carsten F. Dormann and Bernd Gruber, with additional code from Mariano Devoto, Jochen Fruend, Jose Iriondo and Diego Vazquez, also based on C-code developed by Nils Bluethgen and by Miguel Rodriguez-Girones.
Title: Visualising bipartite networks and calculating some ecological indices.
Description: Bipartite provides functions to viualise webs and calculate a series of indices commonly used to describe pattern in ecological webs. It focusses on webs consisting of only two trophic levels, e.g. pollination webs or predator-prey-webs. Visualisation is important to get an idea of what we are actually looking at, while the indices summarise different aspects of the webs topology.

New package SampleSizeProportions with initial version 1.0
Package: SampleSizeProportions
Type: Package
Title: Calculating sample size requirements when estimating the difference between two binomial proportions
Version: 1.0
Date: 2009-12-16
Author: Lawrence Joseph , Roxane du Berger and Patrick Belisle
Maintainer: Lawrence Joseph
Description: A set of R functions for calculating sample size requirements using three different Bayesian criteria in the context of designing an experiment to estimate the difference between two binomial proportions. Functions for calculation of required sample sizes for the Average Length Criterion, the Average Coverage Criterion and the Worst Outcome Criterion in the context of binomial observations are provided. In all cases, estimation of the difference between two binomial proportions is considered. Functions for both the fully Bayesian and the mixed Bayesian/likelihood approaches are provided.
