Package DynClust updated to version 1.2 with previous version 1.1 dated 2012-08-31

Title: non-parametric denoising and clustering method of noisy images both indexed by time and space
Description: Two-stage method for the denoising and clustering of stack of noisy images acquired over time, based on the simple assumption that a finite sequence of noisy images both indexed by time and space is composed of noisy versions of only a limited amount of dynamic features. The aim of the method is first to denoise signals using both the spatial and temporal information contained in the data, and then cluster the denoised signals depending on their dynamic features. Two signals are considered to have similar features if their difference does not significantly deviate from zero. By comparing difference signals, no assumption is therefore made on the shape of the theoretical signals. In order for the method to be applicable to experimental data, the data should be normally distributed (or at least follow a symmetric distribution) with a constant variance. Also the number of observations n must be of the form n=d^2. Moreover, the method is based on the implicit assumption that, for a given data set, almost each dynamic feature is present in two or more pixels. The use of the method can be time consumming depending on the size of the data-array (for example about 2 hours for 130x175x60 data set on a PC dual core processor 2.80 GHz, RAM 4 Go, Ubuntu Maverick 64 bits, R 2.12.1).

New package FAiR with initial version 0.4-11
Package: FAiR
Type: Package
Title: Factor Analysis in R
Version: 0.4-11
Date: 2012-09-21
Author: Ben Goodrich
Maintainer: Ben Goodrich
Description: This package estimates factor analysis models using a genetic algorithm, which permits a general mechanism for restricted optimization with arbitrary restrictions that are chosen at run time with the help of a GUI. Importantly, inequality restrictions can be imposed on functions of multiple parameters, which provides a new avenues for testing and generating theories with factor analysis models. This package also includes an entirely new estimator of the common factor analysis model called semi-exploratory factor analysis, which is a general alternative to exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Finally, this package integrates a lot of other packages that estimate sample covariance matrices and thus provides a lot of alternatives to the traditional sample covariance calculation. Note that you need to have the Gtk run time library installed on your system to use this package; see the URL below for detailed installation instructions. Most users would only need to understand the first twenty-four pages of the PDF manual.

Package Lambda4 updated to version 2.1 with previous version 2.0 dated 2012-07-13

Title: Estimation techniques for the reliability estimate: Maximized Lambda4
Description: Currently the package includes 4 functions. Three of which are different methods of calculating Guttman's lambda4 coefficient. One allows the user to select the item splits. The remaining two are new methods to calculate reliability. Both are based on a combination of Cronbach's alpha and Maximal-type reliability coefficients but use different maximization procedures.

Package HDMD updated to version 1.1 with previous version 1.0 dated 2009-11-05

Title: Statistical Analysis Tools for High Dimension Molecular Data (HDMD)
Description: High Dimensional Molecular Data (HDMD) typically have many more variables or dimensions than observations or replicates (D>>N). This can cause many statistical procedures to fail, become intractable, or produce misleading results. This package provides several tools to reduce dimensionality and analyze biological data for meaningful interpretation of results. Factor Analysis (FA), Principal Components Analysis (PCA) and Discriminant Analysis (DA) are frequently used multivariate techniques. However, PCA methods prcomp and princomp do not reflect the proportion of total variation of each principal component. Loadings.variation displays the relative and cumulative contribution of variation for each component by accounting for all variability in data. When D>>N, the maximum likelihood method cannot be applied in FA and the the principal axes method must be used instead, as in factor.pa of the psych package. The factor.pa.ginv function in this package further allows for a singular covariance matrix by applying a general inverse method to estimate factor scores. Moreover, factor.pa.ginv removes and warns of any variables that are constant, which would otherwise create an invalid covariance matrix. Promax.only further allows users to define rotation parameters during factor estimation. Similar to the Euclidean distance, the Mahalanobis distance estimates the relationship among groups. pairwise.mahalanobis computes all such pairwise Mahalanobis distances among groups and is useful for quantifying the separation of groups in DA. Genetic sequences are composed of discrete alphabetic characters, which makes estimates of variability difficult. MolecularEntropy and MolecularMI calculate the entropy and mutual information to estimate variability and covariability, respectively, of DNA or Amino Acid sequences. Functional grouping of amino acids (Atchley et al 1999) is also available for entropy and mutual information estimation. Mutual information values can be normalized by NMI to account for the background distribution arising from the stochastic pairing of independent, random sites. Alternatively, discrete alphabetic sequences can be transformed into biologically informative metrics to be used in various multivariate procedures. FactorTransform converts amino acid sequences using the amino acid indices determined by Atchley et al 2005.

Package fastcluster updated to version 1.1.7 with previous version 1.1.6 dated 2012-03-13

Title: Fast hierarchical clustering routines for R and Python
Description: This is a two-in-one package which provides interfaces to both R and Python. It implements fast hierarchical, agglomerative clustering routines. Part of the functionality is designed as drop-in replacement for existing routines: “linkage” in the SciPy package “scipy.cluster.hierarchy”, “hclust” in R's “stats” package, and the “flashClust” package. It provides the same functionality, with the benefit of a much faster implementation. Moreover, there are memory-saving routines for clustering of vector data, which go beyond what the existing packages provide. For information on how to install the Python files, see the file INSTALL in the source distribution.
