CRAN (and crantastic) updates this week
New packages
------------
* activity (1.0)
Maintainer: Marcus Rowcliffe
Author(s): Marcus Rowcliffe <marcus.rowcliffe at ioz.ac.uk>
License: GPL-3
http://crantastic.org/packages/activity
Provides functions to fit kernel density functions to animal activity
time data; plot activity distributions; quantify overall levels of
activity; statistically compare activity metrics through
bootstrapping; and evaluate variation in linear variables with time
(or other circular variables).
* atmcmc (1.0)
Maintainer: Jinyoung Yang
Author(s): Jinyoung Yang
License: GPL (>= 2)
http://crantastic.org/packages/atmcmc
Uses adaptive diagnostics to tune and run a random walk Metropolis
MCMC algorithm, to converge to a specified target distribution and
estimate means of functionals.
* blocksdesign (1.1)
Maintainer: Rodney Edmondson
Author(s): R. N. Edmondson
License: GPL (>= 2)
http://crantastic.org/packages/blocksdesign
Nested block designs for unstructured treatment sets where blocks can
be repeatedly nested and treatments can have different levels of
replication. Blocks strata are optimized hierarchically with each
set of nested blocks optimized within the levels of the preceding
set. Block sizes are equal if the number of blocks exactly divides
the number of plots, otherwise they differ by at most one plot. The
design output is a data table giving a randomised allocation of
treatments to blocks together with a plan table showing treatments
in blocks and a set of blocks-by-treatments incidence matrices, one
for each blocks stratum.
* checkpoint (0.3.2)
Maintainer: Andrie de Vries
Author(s): Revolution Analytics
License: GPL-2
http://crantastic.org/packages/checkpoint
The goal of checkpoint is to solve the problem of package
reproducibility in R. Specifically, checkpoint allows you to install
packages as they existed on CRAN on a specific snapshot date as if
you had a CRAN time machine. To achieve reproducibility, the
checkpoint() function installs the packages required or called by
your project and scripts to a local library exactly as they existed
at the specified point in time. Only those packages are available to
your project, thereby avoiding any package updates that came later
and may have altered your results. In this way, anyone using
checkpoint's checkpoint() can ensure the reproducibility of your
scripts or projects at any time. To create the snapshot archives,
once a day (at midnight UTC) we refresh the Austria CRAN mirror, on
the "Managed R Archived Network" server
(http://mran.revolutionanalytics.com/). Immediately after completion
of the rsync mirror process, we take a snapshot, thus creating the
archive. Snapshot archives exist starting from 2014-09-17.
* DynNom (1.0)
Maintainer: Amirhossein Jalali
Author(s): Amirhossein Jalali, Alberto Alvarez-Iglesias, John Newell
License: GPL-2
http://crantastic.org/packages/DynNom

or glm model object as a dynamic nomogram that can be displayed in
an R Studio panel or web browser.
* enpls (1.0)
Maintainer: Xiao Nan
Author(s): Nan Xiao <road2stat at gmail.com>, Dong-Sheng Cao <oriental-cds at 163.com>,
Qing-Song Xu <dasongxu at gmail.com>
License: GPL (>= 2)
http://crantastic.org/packages/enpls

framework for feature selection, outlier detection, and ensemble
learning.
* gender (0.4.1)
Maintainer: Lincoln Mullen
Author(s): Lincoln Mullen [aut, cre], Cameron Blevins [ctb], Ben Schmidt [ctb]
License: MIT + file LICENSE
http://crantastic.org/packages/gender
Encodes gender based on names and dates of birth, using either the
Social Security Administration's data set of first names by year of
birth or Census Bureau data from 1789 to 1940, both from the United
States of America. By using these data sets instead of lists of male
and female names, this package is able to more accurately guess the
gender of a name, and it is able to report the probability that a
name was male or female.
* lazyeval (0.1.9)
Maintainer: Hadley Wickham
Author(s): Hadley Wickham [aut, cre], RStudio [cph]
License: GPL-3
http://crantastic.org/packages/lazyeval
A disciplined approach to non-standard evaluation.
* mdsdt (1.0)
Maintainer: Robert X.D. Hawkins
Author(s): Robert X.D. Hawkins <rxdh at stanford.edu>, Joe Houpt
<joseph.houpt at wright.edu>, Noah Silbert
<noahpoah at gmail.com>, Leslie Blaha
<Leslie.Blaha at wpafb.af.mil>, Thomas D. Wickens
<twickens at socrates.berkeley.edu>
License: GPL (>= 2)
http://crantastic.org/packages/mdsdt
This package contains a series of tools associated with General
Recognition Theory (Townsend & Ashby, 1986), including Gaussian
model fitting of 4x4 and more general confusion matrices, associated
plotting and model comparison tools, and tests of marginal response
invariance and report independence.
* measuRing (0.1)
Maintainer: Wilson Lara
Author(s): Wilson Lara <wilarhen at gmail.com>, Carlos Sierra
<csierra at bgc-jena.mpg.de>
License: GPL-3
http://crantastic.org/packages/measuRing
This package assists in the identification of ring borders on scanned
image sections from dendrochronological samples. It processes the
image section and computes luminance data from images producing a
matrix of gray values and a time series of smoothed gray values.
Luminance data is plotted on segmented images for users to perform
both: visual identification of ring borders, or control of automatic
detection. The package provides functions to visually
include/exclude ring borders on the R graphical device, or
automatically detect ring borders using a linear detection
algorithm. This algorithm detects ring borders according to negative
extreme values in the smoothed time-series of gray values.
* msda (1.0.1)
Maintainer: Yi Yang
Author(s): Qing Mai <mai at stat.fsu.edu>, Yi Yang <yiyang at umn.edu>, Hui Zou
<hzou at stat.umn.edu>
License: GPL-2
http://crantastic.org/packages/msda
Efficient procedures for computing a new multi-class sparse
discriminant analysis method that estimates all discriminant
directions simultaneously.
* mycor (0.1)

in power systems. These methods are based in the notion of
loss-of-load probability (LOLP) and include the treatment of
conventional and variable renewable generators.
* rFDSN (0.0.0)
Maintainer: Daniel Bowman
Author(s): Daniel C. Bowman [aut, cre]
License: GPL (>= 3)
http://crantastic.org/packages/rFDSN
This package facilitates searching for and downloading seismic time
series in miniSEED format (a minimalist version of the Standard for
the Exchange of Earthquake Data) from International Federation of
Digital Seismograph Networks repositories. This package can also be
used to gather information about seismic networks (stations,
channels, locations, etc) and find historical earthquake data
(origins, magnitudes, etc).
* rjstat (0.2)
Maintainer: Aaron Schumacher
Author(s): Aaron Schumacher <ajschumacher at gmail.com>, HÃ¥kon Malmedal
License: MIT + file LICENSE
http://crantastic.org/packages/rjstat
Read and write the JSON-stat format (http://json-stat.org) to and from
(lists of) R data frames. Not all features are supported, especially
the extensive metadata features of JSON-stat.
* robustDA (1.0)
Maintainer: Charles Bouveyron
Author(s): Charles Bouveyron & Stephane Girard
License: GPL-2
http://crantastic.org/packages/robustDA
Robust mixture discriminant analysis (RMDA, Bouveyron & Girard, 2009)
allows to build a robust supervised classifier from learning data
with label noise. The idea of the proposed method is to confront an
unsupervised modeling of the data with the supervised information
carried by the labels of the learning data in order to detect
inconsistencies. The method is able afterward to build a robust
classifier taking into account the detected inconsistencies into the
labels.
* saccades (0.1)
Maintainer: Titus von der Malsburg
Author(s): Titus von der Malsburg [aut, cph, cre]
License: GPL-2
http://crantastic.org/packages/saccades
Functions for detecting eye fixations in raw eye-tracking data. The
detection is done using a velocity-based algorithm for saccade
detection proposed by Ralf Engbert and Reinhold Kliegl in 2003. The
algorithm labels segments as saccades when the velocity of the eye
movement exceeds a certain threshold. Anything between two saccades
is considered a fixation. Thus the algorithm is not appropriate for
data containing episodes of smooth pursuit eye movements.
* SQDA (1.0)
Maintainer: Jiehuan Sun
Author(s): Jiehuan Sun
License: GPL-3
http://crantastic.org/packages/SQDA
Sparse Quadratic Discriminant Analysis (SQDA) can be performed. In
SQDA, the covariance matrix are assumed to be block-diagonal.And,
for each block, sparsity assumption is imposed on the covariance
matrix. It is useful in high-dimensional setting.
* stabs (0.1-0)
Maintainer: Benjamin Hofner
Author(s): Benjamin Hofner [aut, cre], Torsten Hothorn [aut]
License: GPL-2
http://crantastic.org/packages/stabs

License: GPL-2
http://crantastic.org/packages/WRS2
A user-friendly version of Wilcox' robust statistics functions (WRS
package on GitHub). It implements robust tests for ANOVA and ANCOVA
as described in R. Wilcox (2012) 'Introduction to Robust Estimation
