CRAN (and crantastic) updates this week

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

* adaptTest (1.0)
  Marc Vandemeulebroecke
  http://crantastic.org/packages/adaptTest

  The functions defined in this program serve for implementing adaptive
  two-stage tests. Currently, four tests are included: Bauer and
  Koehne (1994), Lehmacher and Wassmer (1999), Vandemeulebroecke
  (2006), and the horizontal conditional error function. User-defined
  tests can also be implemented. Reference: Vandemeulebroecke, An
  investigation of two-stage tests, Statistica Sinica 2006.

* bcv (1.0)
  Patrick O. Perry
  http://crantastic.org/packages/bcv

  This package implements methods for choosing the rank of an SVD
  approximation via cross validation.  It provides both Gabriel-style
  "block" holdouts and Wold-style "speckled" holdouts.  Also included
  is an implementation of the SVDImpute algorithm.  For more
  information about Bi-cross-validation, see Owen & Perry's 2009 AOAS
  article (at http://arxiv.org/abs/0908.2062) and Perry's 2009 PhD
  thesis (at http://arxiv.org/abs/0909.3052).

* dse1 (2009.10-1)
  Paul Gilbert
  http://crantastic.org/packages/dse1

  This package is only to aid transition to the unbundled dse package.
  It has no functions, but simply requires package EvalEst.

* dse2 (2009.10-1)
  Paul Gilbert
  http://crantastic.org/packages/dse2

  This package is only to aid transition to the unbundled dse package.
  It has no functions, but simply requires package EvalEst.

* EvalEst (2009.10-2)
  Paul Gilbert
  http://crantastic.org/packages/EvalEst

  Multivariate Time Series - extensions.See ?00dse-Intro for more
  details.

* glmdm (0.51)
  Jeff Gill
  http://crantastic.org/packages/glmdm

  R CODE FOR SIMULATION OF GLMDM

* integrativeME (1.1)
  Kim-Anh Le Cao
  http://crantastic.org/packages/integrativeME

  Mixture of experts models (Jacobs et al., 1991) were introduced to
  account for nonlinearities and other complexities in the data. It is
  based on a divide-and-conquer strategy. Mixture of experts are of
  interest due to their wide applicability and the advantages of fast
  learning via the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm. We have
  extended and implemented mixture of experts to combine categorical
  clinical factors and continuous microarray data in a binary
  classification framework to analyze cancer studies. To provide a
  hybrid signature of clinical factors and gene markers, we propose to
  apply different gene selection procedures as a first step.

* integrativeMEdata (1.0)
  Kim-Anh Le Cao
  http://crantastic.org/packages/integrativeMEdata

  This package contains data sets with matched categorical clinical
  factors and microarray data for three cancer studies. This is part
  of the integrativeME package that combines these two types of
  variables in a binary classification framework by selecting a hybrid
  signature of clinical factors and gene markers.

* latticedl (1.0)
  Toby Dylan Hocking
  http://crantastic.org/packages/latticedl

  Direct labeling functions that use the lattice package.

* nodeHarvest (0.1)
  Nicolai Meinshausen
  http://crantastic.org/packages/nodeHarvest

  Node harvest is a simple interpretable tree-like estimator for
  high-dimensional regression and classification. A few nodes are
  selected from an initially large ensemble of nodes, each associated
  with a positive weight. New observations can fall into one or
  several nodes and predictions are the weighted average response
  across all these groups. The package offers visualization of the
  estimator. Predictions can return the nodes a new observation fell
  into, along with the mean response of training observations in each
  node, offering a simple explanation of the prediction.

* sublogo (1.0)
  Toby Dylan Hocking
  http://crantastic.org/packages/sublogo

  Visualize correlation in biological sequence data using sublogo
  dendrogram plots.
