CRAN (and crantastic) updates this week

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

  data from a parallel-group randomized controlled clinical trial

* BINCO (0.1-1)
  Maintainer: Shuang Li
  Author(s): Shuang Li <shuangli at fhcrc.org>,Li Hsu <lih at fhcrc.org>, Jie Peng
             <jiepeng at ucdavis.edu>, Pei Wang <pwang at fhcrc.org>,

* binomlogit (1.0)
  Maintainer: Agnes Fussl
  Author(s): Agnes Fussl
  License: GPL-3
  http://crantastic.org/packages/binomlogit

  The R package contains different MCMC schemes to estimate the
  regression coefficients of a binomial (or binary) logit model within
  a Bayesian framework: a data-augmented independence MH-sampler, an
  auxiliary mixture sampler and a hybrid auxiliary mixture (HAM)
  sampler. All sampling procedures are based on algorithms using data
  augmentation, where the regression coefficients are estimated by
  rewriting the logit model as a latent variable model called
  difference random utility model (dRUM).

  http://crantastic.org/packages/biwavelet

  This is a port of the WTC MATLAB package written by Aslak Grinsted and
  the wavelet program written by Christopher Torrence and Gibert P.
  Compo. This package can be used to perform univariate and bivariate
  (cross-wavelet, wavelet coherence) wavelet analyses.

  process that involves members of the population who stop dividing or
  propagating.

  dimensionality. It can also be used for smoothing and other image
  processing-style operations.

  best-separating principal components and automatic outlier testing;
  automatic univariate analysis for parametric and non-parametric
  data, with report generation (volcano and box plots); partial least
  sqaure discriminant analysis (PLS-DA); orthogonal partial least

  A varying coefficient on the stimulus effect is introduced into the
  voxelwise fMRI regression model. By this the effects of the
  canonical hemodynamic response function are allowed to vary with
  another variable, like for example time or a vigilance parameter.

  License: GPL (>= 3)
  http://crantastic.org/packages/weightedKmeans

  Entropy weighted kmeans (ewkm) is a weighted subspace clustering
  algorithm that is well suited to very high dimensional data. Weights
  are calculated as the importance of a variable with regard to
  cluster membership. The feature group weighted kmenas (fgkm) extends
  this concept by grouping features and weighting the group in
  addition to weihgting individual features.
