Package h5 updated to version 0.9.2 with previous version 0.9.1 dated 2015-05-10

Title: Interface to the 'HDF5' Library
Description: S4 Interface to the 'HDF5' library supporting fast storage and retrieval of R-objects like vectors, matrices and arrays to binary files in a language independent format. The 'HDF5' format can therefore be used as an alternative to R's save/load mechanism. Since h5 is able to access only subsets of stored data it can also handle data sets which do not fit into memory.

Package circlize updated to version 0.3.0 with previous version 0.2.5 dated 2015-07-08

Title: Circular Visualization in R
Description: Circular layout is an efficient way for the visualization of huge amounts of information. Here the circlize package provides an implementation of circular layout generation in R as well as an enhancement of available software. The flexibility of this package is based on the usage of low-level graphics functions such that self-defined high-level graphics can be easily implemented by users for specific purposes. Together with the seamless connection between the powerful computational and visual environment in R, circlize gives users more convenience and freedom to design figures for better understanding complex patterns behind multi-dimensional data.

Package rcbalance updated to version 1.7 with previous version 1.6 dated 2015-05-23

Title: Large, Sparse Optimal Matching with Refined Covariate Balance
Description: Tools for large, sparse optimal matching of treated units and control units in observational studies. Provisions are made for refined covariate balance constraints, which include fine and near-fine balance as special cases. Matches are optimal in the sense that they are computed as solutions to network optimization problems rather than greedy algorithms.

New package Pasha with initial version 0.99.16
Package: Pasha
Type: Package
Title: Preprocessing of Aligned Sequences from HTS Analyses
Version: 0.99.16
Date: 2015-07-01
Author: Romain Fenouil, Nicolas Descostes, Lionel Spinelli, Jean-Christophe Andrau
Maintainer: Romain Fenouil <romain.fenouil@mssm.edu>
Description: Pipeline and additional tools designed to handle aligned data from chromatin NGS experiments (less adapted for typical RNAseq applications). Specifically, starting from aligned reads after sequencing, the pipeline function aims at removing artefacts from datasets, estimate in-silico the fragments size, and generate WIG files with corrected values. The package also provides several tools for WIG files manipulations, scaling, merging and subtract (e.g. input).

Package distcomp updated to version 0.25.3 with previous version 0.25.2 dated 2015-07-14

Title: Computations over Distributed Data without Aggregation
Description: Implementing algorithms and fitting models when sites (possibly remote) share computation summaries rather than actual data over HTTP with a master R process (using 'opencpu', for example). A stratified Cox model and a singular value decomposition are provided. The former makes direct use of code from the R 'survival' package. (That is, the underlying Cox model code is derived from that in the R 'survival' package.) Sites may provide data via several means: CSV files, Redcap API, etc. An extensible design allows for new methods to be added in the future. Web applications are provided (via 'shiny') for the implemented methods to help in designing and deploying the computations.
