[R] New package : ade4

[Jean Thioulouse]

Hello,

The ade4 package is now available on CRAN.

ade4 is a multivariate data analysis package oriented towards statistical
ecology. The main functions include one-table (PCA, COA, MCA, PCO, etc.),
two-tables (PCAIV, Co-inertia, CCA, etc.) and k-tables multivariate analysis
methods, with several Monte-Carlo tests and many graphical display methods.
A complete documentation with many example data sets is also available.

Most of these methods and data sets come from statistical ecology, but
the statistical methods can of course be used in many other fields.

The ade4 package is a port of the ADE4 software to R. The ADE4 software
is also free and available on Internet, and it has its own web server and
mailing list :
