CRAN (and crantastic) updates this week

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

* condmixt (1.0)
  Maintainer: Julie Carreau
  Author(s): Julie Carreau
  License: GPL-2
  http://crantastic.org/packages/condmixt

  Conditional density estimation with mixtures for heavy-tailed
  distributions

* crrstep (2012-5.3)
  Maintainer: Ravi Varadhan
  Author(s): Ravi Varadhan & Deborah Kuk
  License: GPL (>= 2)
  http://crantastic.org/packages/crrstep

  Performs forward and backwards stepwise regression for the
  Proportional subdistribution hazards model in competing risks (Fine
  & Gray 1999). Procedure uses AIC, BIC and BICcr as selection
  criteria. BICcr has a penalty of k = log(n*), where n* is the number
  of primary events.

* discreteMTP (0.1-2)
  Maintainer: Shay Yaacoby
  Author(s): Ruth Heller [aut], Hadas Gur [aut], Shay Yaacoby [aut, cre]
  License: GPL (>= 2)
  http://crantastic.org/packages/discreteMTP

  Multiple testing procedures for discrete test statistics, that use the
  known discrete null distribution of the p-values for simultaneous
  inference.

* gglasso (1.0)
  Maintainer: Yi Yang
  Author(s): Yi Yang <yiyang at umn.edu>, Hui Zou <hzou at stat.umn.edu>
  License: GPL-2
  http://crantastic.org/packages/gglasso

  This package implements a unified algorithm,
  blockwise-majorization-decent (BMD), for efficiently computing the
  solution paths of the group-lasso penalized least squares, logistic
  regression, Huberized SVM and squared SVM.

* ISBF (0.1)
  Maintainer: Pierre Alquier
  Author(s): Pierre Alquier
  License: GPL
  http://crantastic.org/packages/ISBF

  Selection of features for sparse regression estimation (like the
  LASSO). Selection of blocks of features when the regression
  parameter is sparse and constant by blocks (like the Fused-LASSO).
  Application to cgh arrays. TEST VERSION, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

* mmm2 (1.0)
  Maintainer: Ozgur Asar
  Author(s): Ozgur Asar, Ozlem Ilk
  License: GPL (>= 2)
  http://crantastic.org/packages/mmm2

  Fits multivariate marginal models with shared regression parameters
  for discrete and continuous responses

* Momocs (0.1-01)
  Maintainer: Vincent Bonhomme
  Author(s): Vincent Bonhomme, Sandrine Picq, Julien Claude
  License: GPL (>= 2)
  http://crantastic.org/packages/Momocs

  Momocs is intended to ease and popularize shape analysis of outlines
  (especially using elliptical Fourier analysis). It mostly hinges on
  the functions developped in Morphometrics with R (Claude, 2008).
  From outline extraction of images and elliptical Fourier calculation
  to multivariate analysis and the visualization of transformations
  within the morphological space, Momocs provides a complete and
  convenient toolkit to specialists within every field that are, or
  may be, interested in morphological comparisons of outlines.

* mpoly (0.0.1)
  Maintainer: David Kahle
  Author(s): David Kahle <david.kahle at gmail.com>
  License: MIT
  http://crantastic.org/packages/mpoly

  mpoly allows for the symbolic manipulation of multivariate polynomials
  in a general and consistent way designed especially for sparse and
  super sparse polynomials.  It also allows for basic differential
  calculus with multivariate polynomials and Grobner basis
  calculations from computational algebraic geometry.

* R.devices (2.1.1)
  Maintainer: Henrik Bengtsson
  Author(s): Henrik Bengtsson
  License: LGPL (>= 2.1)
  http://crantastic.org/packages/R-devices

  This package provides utility methods that enhance the existing
  graphical device functions already available in R for the purpose of
  simplify the creation of figure files of various image formats and
  much more.

* RcmdrPlugin.EBM (1.0-1)
  Maintainer: Daniel Leucuta
  Author(s): Daniel-Corneliu Leucuta <danny.ldc at gmail.com>
  License: GPL (>= 2)
  http://crantastic.org/packages/RcmdrPlugin-EBM

  This package provides an Rcmdr plug-in for Evidence Based Medicine
  medical indicators calculations (Sensitivity, specificity, absolute
  risk reduction, relative risk, ...).

* RSeed (0.1.31)
  Maintainer: Claus Jonathan Fritzemeier
  Author(s): Claus Jonathan Fritzemeier
  License: GNU General Public License
  http://crantastic.org/packages/RSeed

  borenstein 2008

* SemiParSampleSel (0.1)
  Maintainer: Giampiero Marra
  Author(s): Giampiero Marra <giampiero at stats.ucl.ac.uk> and Rosalba Radice
             <rosalba.radice at lshtm.ac.uk>
  License: GPL (>= 2)
  http://crantastic.org/packages/SemiParSampleSel

  Routine for fitting continuous response sample selection models with
  semiparametric predictors, including linear and nonlinear effects.

* stellaR (0.2-0)
  Maintainer: Matteo Dell'Omodarme
  Author(s): Matteo Dell'Omodarme [aut, cre], Giada Valle [aut]
  License: GPL (>= 2)
