CRAN (and crantastic) updates this week

New packages
------------

* AGSDest (1.0)
  Niklas Hack
  http://crantastic.org/packages/AGSDest

  Estimation in adaptive group sequential trials

* atmi (1.0)
  Waldemar Kemler, Peter Schaffner,
  http://crantastic.org/packages/atmi

  Analysis and usage of the trading rules, which are based on technical
  market indicators as well as on the time series analysis.

* gamesNws (0.5)
  Markus Schmidberger
  http://crantastic.org/packages/gamesNws

  This is a package with different card games (e.g. uno, poker, ...) and
  using a NWS Server as card table. You can play the games with your
  friends in the whole world. Just install a NWS Server at one
  machine, send the login data to your friends and start the game.

* geneListPie (1.0)
  Xutao Deng
  http://crantastic.org/packages/geneListPie

  "geneListPie" package is for mapping a gene list to function
  categories defined in GOSlim or Kegg. The results can be plotted as
  a pie chart to provide a quick view of the genes distribution of the
  gene list among the function categories. The gene list must contain
  a list of gene symbols. The package contains a set of pre-processed
  gene sets obtained from Gene Ontology and MSigDB including human,
  mouse, rat and yeast. To provide a high level concise view, only GO
  slim and kegg are provided. The gene sets are regulared updated.
  User can also use customized gene sets. User can use the R Pie() or
  Pie3D() function for plotting the pie chart. Users can also choose
  to output the gene function mapping results and use external
  software such as Excel(R) for ploting.

* sBF (1.0)
  Unknown
  http://crantastic.org/packages/sBF

  Smooth Backfitting for additive models using Nadaraya-Watson estimator

* speedglm (0.1)
  Marco ENEA
  http://crantastic.org/packages/speedglm

  Fitting LMs and GLMs to large data sets by updating algorithms.

* VIF (0.5)
  Dongyu Lin
  http://crantastic.org/packages/VIF

  This package implements a fast regression algorithm for building
  linear model for large data as defined in the paper "VIF-Regression:
  A Fast Regression Algorithm for Large Data (2009)" by Dongyu Lin,
  Dean P. Foster and Lyle H. Ungar.

* WMCapacity (0.9)
  Richard D. Morey
