New package batman with initial version 0.1.0
Package: batman
Title: Convert Categorical Representations of Logicals to Actual Logicals
Version: 0.1.0
Date: 2015-10-13
Author: Oliver Keyes [aut, cre], Ruben C. Arslan [ctb], Christopher Akiki [ctb], Mine Cetinkaya-Rundel [ctb], Peter Meissner [ctb], Ilaria Prosdocimi [ctb], Thomas Leeper [ctb], Amy Lee [ctb], Adolfo Álvarez [ctb]
Maintainer: Oliver Keyes <ironholds@gmail.com>
Description: Survey systems and other third-party data sources commonly use non-standard representations of logical values when it comes to qualitative data - "Yes", "No" and "N/A", say. batman is a package designed to seamlessly convert these into logicals. It is highly localised, and contains equivalents to boolean values in languages including German, French, Spanish, Italian, Turkish, Chinese and Polish.

Package vdg updated to version 1.1.2 with previous version 1.1.1 dated 2015-08-21

Title: Variance Dispersion Graphs and Fraction of Design Space Plots
Description: Facilities for constructing variance dispersion graphs, fraction-of-design-space plots and similar graphics for exploring the properties of experimental designs. The design region is explored via random sampling, which allows for more flexibility than traditional variance dispersion graphs. A formula interface is leveraged to provide access to complex model formulae. Graphics can be constructed simultaneously for multiple experimental designs and/or multiple model formulae. Instead of using pointwise optimization to find the minimum and maximum scaled prediction variance curves, which can be inaccurate and time consuming, this package uses quantile regression as an alternative.

Package TDCor updated to version 0.1-2 with previous version 0.1-1 dated 2015-04-18

Title: Gene Network Inference from Time-Series Transcriptomic Data
Description: The Time-Delay Correlation algorithm (TDCor) reconstructs the topology of a gene regulatory network (GRN) from time-series transcriptomic data. The algorithm is described in details in Lavenus et al., Plant Cell, 2015. It was initially developed to infer the topology of the GRN controlling lateral root formation in Arabidopsis thaliana. The time-series transcriptomic dataset which was used in this study is included in the package to illustrate how to use it.

Package stringdist updated to version 0.9.4 with previous version 0.9.3 dated 2015-08-21

Title: Approximate String Matching and String Distance Functions
Description: Implements an approximate string matching version of R's native 'match' function. Can calculate various string distances based on edits (damerau-levenshtein, hamming, levenshtein, optimal sting alignment), qgrams (q-gram, cosine, jaccard distance) or heuristic metrics (jaro, jaro-winkler). An implementation of soundex is provided as well. Distances can be computed between character vectors while taking proper care of encoding or between integer vectors representing generic sequences.

Package nodiv updated to version 1.1.2 with previous version 1.1.1 dated 2015-10-08

Title: Compares the Distribution of Sister Clades Through a Phylogeny
Description: An implementation of the nodiv algorithm, (see Borregaard, M.K., Rahbek, C., Fjeldsaa, J., Parra, J.L., Whittaker, R.J. & Graham, C.H. 2014. Node-based analysis of species distributions. Methods in Ecology and Evolution 5(11): 1225-1235. DOI: 10.1111/2041-210X.12283. Package for phylogenetic analysis of species distributions. The main function goes through each node in the phylogeny, compares the distributions of the two descendant nodes, and compares the result to a null model. This highlights nodes where major distributional divergence have occurred. The distributional divergence for these nodes is mapped using the SOS statistic.
