Package geometry updated to version 0.3-2 with previous version 0.3-1 dated 2012-05-01

Title: Mesh generation and surface tesselation
Description: This package makes the qhull library (www.qhull.org) available in R, in a similar manner as in Octave and MATLAB. Qhull computes convex hulls, Delaunay triangulations, halfspace intersections about a point, Voronoi diagrams, furthest-site Delaunay triangulations, and furthest-site Voronoi diagrams. It runs in 2-d, 3-d, 4-d, and higher dimensions. It implements the Quickhull algorithm for computing the convex hull. Qhull does not support constrained Delaunay triangulations, or mesh generation of non-convex objects, but the package does include some R functions that allow for this. Currently the package only gives access to Delaunay triangulation and convex hull computation.

Package frailtyHL updated to version 1.1 with previous version 1.0 dated 2011-02-06

Title: Frailty Models via H-likelihood
Description: The frailtyHL package implements the h-likelihood estimation procedures for frailty models. The package fits Cox's proportional hazards models with random effects (or frailties). For the frailty distribution lognormal and gamma are allowed. The h-likelihood uses the Laplace approximation when the numerical integration is intractable, giving a statistically efficient estimation in frailty models.
