Package trimr updated to version 1.0.1 with previous version 1.0.0 dated 2015-08-02

Title: An Implementation of Common Response Time Trimming Methods
Description: Provides various commonly-used response time trimming methods, including the recursive / moving-criterion methods reported by Van Selst and Jolicoeur (1994). By passing trimming functions raw data files, the package will return trimmed data ready for inferential testing.

New package wec with initial version 0.1
Package: wec
Type: Package
Title: Weighted Effect Coding
Version: 0.1
Date: 2015-09-05
Author: Rense Nieuwenhuis, Manfred te Grotenhuis, Ben Pelzer, Alexanter Schmidt, Ruben Konig, Rob Eisinga
Maintainer: Rense Nieuwenhuis <rense.nieuwenhuis@sofi.su.se>
Description: Provides functions to create factor variables with contrasts based on weighted effect coding. In weighted effect coding the estimates from a first order regression model show the deviations per group from the sample mean. This is especially useful when a researcher has no directional hypotheses and uses a sample from a population in which the number of observation per group is different The package also provides functionality for interactions between two factor variables based on weighted effect coding. Please note that this is a beta version: while functional, it does not follow all R conventions.

New package OriGen with initial version 1.3
Package: OriGen
Type: Package
Title: Fast Spatial Ancestry via Flexible Allele Frequency Surfaces
Version: 1.3
Author: John Michael O Ranola, John Novembre, and Kenneth Lange
Depends: maps, ggplot2
Maintainer: John Michael O. Ranola <ranolaj@uw.edu>
Description: Used primarily for estimates of allele frequency surfaces from point estimates. It can also place individuals of unknown origin back onto the geographic map with great accuracy. Additionally, it can place admixed individuals by estimating contributing fractions at each location on a map. Lastly, it can rank SNPs by their ability to differentiate populations. See "Fast Spatial Ancestry via Flexible Allele Frequency Surfaces" (John Michael Ranola, John Novembre, Kenneth Lange) in Bioinformatics 2014 for more info.

Package kin.cohort updated to version 0.7 with previous version 0.6 dated 2009-01-29

Title: Analysis of Kin-Cohort Studies
Description: Analysis of kin-cohort studies. kin.cohort provides estimates of age-specific cumulative risk of a disease for carriers and noncarriers of a mutation. The cohorts are retrospectively built from relatives of probands for whom the genotype is known. Currently the method of moments and marginal maximum likelihood are implemented. Confidence intervals are calculated from bootstrap samples. Most of the code is a translation from previous 'MATLAB' code by N. Chatterjee.

Package erboost updated to version 1.3 with previous version 1.2 dated 2013-10-28

Title: Nonparametric Multiple Expectile Regression via ER-Boost
Description: Expectile regression is a nice tool for estimating the conditional expectiles of a response variable given a set of covariates. This package implements a regression tree based gradient boosting estimator for nonparametric multiple expectile regression.

Package CMplot updated to version 3.0.1 with previous version 2.0.1 dated 2015-06-16

Title: Circle Manhattan Plot
Description: Manhattan plot, a type of scatter plot, was widely used to display the association results. However, it is usually time-consuming and laborious for a non-specialist user to write scripts and adjust parameters of an elaborate plot. Moreover, the ever-growing traits measured have necessitated the integration of results from different Genome-wide association study researches. Circle Manhattan Plot is the first open R package that can lay out Genome-wide association study P-value results in both traditional rectangular patterns and novel circular ones. United in only one bull's eye style plot, association results from multiple traits can be compared interactively, thereby to reveal both similarities and differences between signals.
