Package SelvarMix updated to version 1.1 with previous version 1.0 dated 2014-08-27

Title: Regularization for Variable Selection in Model-Based Clustering and Discriminant Analysis
Description: Performs a regularization approach to variable selection in the model-based clustering and classification frameworks. First, the variables are arranged in order with a lasso-like procedure. Second, the method of Maugis, Celeux, and Martin-Magniette (2009, 2011) is adapted to define the role of variables in the two frameworks.

Title: Using Fonts More Easily in R Graphs
Description: Making it easy to use various types of fonts ('TrueType', 'OpenType', Type 1, web fonts, etc.) in R graphs, and supporting most output formats of R graphics including PNG, PDF and SVG. Text glyphs will be converted into polygons or raster images, hence after the plot has been created, it no longer relies on the font files. No external software such as Ghostscript is needed to use this package.
