CRAN (and crantastic) updates this week

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

* adwave (1.0)
  Maintainer: Murray Cox
  Author(s): Jean Sanderson
  License: GPL (>= 2)
  http://crantastic.org/packages/adwave

  Implements wavelet-based approaches for describing population
  admixture. Principal Components Analysis (PCA) is used to define the
  population structure and produce a localized admixture signal for
  each individual. Wavelet summaries of the PCA output describe
  variation present in the data and can be related to population-level
  demographic processes. For more details, see accompanying paper.

  License: GPL (>= 2)
  http://crantastic.org/packages/PerFit

  PerFit contains several person fit indices that allow assessing
  whether individual response patterns to tests or questionnaires are
  (im)plausible given  the other respondents in the sample or a
  specified Item Response Theory model.

* PLordprob (1.0)
  Maintainer: Euloge Clovis Kenne Pagui
  Author(s): Euloge Clovis Kenne Pagui [aut,cre], Antonio Canale [aut], Alan Genz
             [ctb],  Adelchi Azzalini [ctb]
  License: GPL-2
  http://crantastic.org/packages/PLordprob

  Multivariate ordered probit model, i.e. the extension of the scalar
  ordered probit model where the observed variables have dimension
  greater than one. Estimation of the parameters is done via
  maximization of the pairwise likelihood, a special case of the
  composite likehood obtained as product of bivariate marginal
  distributions. The package uses the Fortran 77 subroutine SADMVN by
  Alan Genz, with minor adaptations made by Adelchi Azzalini in his
  "mvnormt" package for evaluating the two-dimensional Gaussian
  integrals involved in the pairwise log-likelihood. Optimization of
  the latter objective function  is performed via quasi-Newton
  box-constrained optimization algorithm, as implemented in nlminb.

* qicharts (0.1.0)
  Maintainer: Jacob Anhoej
  Author(s): Jacob Anhoej [aut, cre]
  License: GPL-3
  http://crantastic.org/packages/qicharts

  Functions for making run charts and  basic Shewhart control charts for
  measure and count data. The main function, qic, creates run and
  control charts and has a simple interface with a rich set of options
  to control data analysis and plotting, including options for
  automatic data aggregation by subgroups, easy analysis of
  before-and-after data, exclusion of one or more data points from
  analysis, and splitting charts into sequential time periods. Missing
  values and empty subgroups are handled gracefully.

* RAdwords (0.1)
  Maintainer: Johannes Burkhardt
  Author(s): Johannes Burkhardt <johannes.burkhardt at gmail.com>, Matthias Bannert
             <matthias.bannert at gmail.com>
  License: GPL (>= 2) | MIT + file LICENSE
  http://crantastic.org/packages/RAdwords

  The aim of RAdwords is loading Adwords data into R. Therefore the
  package implements three main features. First, the package provides
  an authentication process for R with the Adwords API via OAUTH2.
  Second, the package offers an interface to apply the Adwords query
  language in R and query the Adwords API with ad-hoc reports. Third,
  the received data are transformed into suitable data formats for
  further data processing and data analysis.

* RSQLServer (0.1.1)
  Maintainer: Imanuel Costigan
  Author(s): Imanuel Costigan [aut, cre], The jTDS Project [aut] (for MSSQL Server
             driver), Simon Urbanek [ctb], The Legion Of The Bouncy
             Castle [cph, ctb]
  License: GPL-2
  http://crantastic.org/packages/RSQLServer

  RSQLServer wraps the jTDS Project's JDBC 3.0 SQL Server driver and
  extends the RJDBC classes and DBI methods. It defines a
  SQLServerDriver, SQLServerConnection & SQLServerRsult S4 classes as
  extensions of the RJDBC equivalent classes. Most of the DBI methods
  will simply be calls to methods defined by RJDBC classes. However,
  the dbConnect and some of the dbGetInfo methods are specific to SQL
  Server. The jTDS drivers do extend to Sybase SQL Server, but
  currently, only Microsoft SQL Server is supported by this package.

* saps (1.0.0)
  Maintainer: Daniel Schmolze
  Author(s): Daniel Schmolze [aut, cre], Andrew Beck [aut], Benjamin Haibe-Kains
             [aut]
  License: MIT + file LICENSE
  http://crantastic.org/packages/saps

  Functions implementing the Significance Analysis of Prognostic
  Signatures method (SAPS). SAPS provides a robust method for
  identifying biologically significant gene sets associated with
  patient survival. Three basic statistics are computed. First,
  patients are clustered into two survival groups based on
  differential expression of a candidate gene set. P_pure is
  calculated as the probability of no survival difference between the
  two groups. Next, the same procedure is applied to randomly
  generated gene sets, and P_random is calculated as the proportion
  achieving a P_pure as significant as the candidate gene set.
  Finally, a pre-ranked Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) is
  performed by ranking all genes by concordance index, and P_enrich is
  computed to indicate the degree to which the candidate gene set is
  enriched for genes with univariate prognostic significance. A
  SAPS_score is calculated to summarize the three statistics, and
  optionally a Q-value is computed to estimate the significance of the
  SAPS_score by calculating SAPS_scores for random gene sets.

* snipEM (1.0)
  Maintainer: Alessio Farcomeni
  Author(s): Alessio Farcomeni, Andy Leung
  License: GPL (>= 2)
  http://crantastic.org/packages/snipEM

  Snipping methods

* sptm (14.10-8)
  Maintainer: Youyi Fong
  Author(s): Youyi Fong <yfong at fhcrc.org>, Krisztian Sebestyen
             <ksebestyen at gmail.com>
  License: GPL (>= 2)
  http://crantastic.org/packages/sptm

  Semiparametric transformation model, calibration weights

* TEEReg (1.0)
  Maintainer: Wei Jiang
  Author(s): Wei Jiang and Matthew S. Mayo
  License: GPL (>= 2)
  http://crantastic.org/packages/TEEReg

  For fitting multiple linear regressions, the ordinary least squares
  approach is sensitive to outliers and/or violations of model
  assumptions. The trimmed elemental estimators are more robust to
  such situations. This package contains functions for computing the
  trimmed elemental estimates, as well as for creating the
  bias-corrected and accelerated bootstrap confidence intervals in the
  context of trimmed elemental regressions.

* vegan3d (0.65-0)
  Maintainer: Jari Oksanen
  Author(s): Jari Oksanen [aut, cre], Roeland Kindt [aut], Gavin L. Simpson [aut]
  License: GPL-2
  http://crantastic.org/packages/vegan3d

  Static and dynamic 3D plots to be used with ordination results and in
  diversity analysis, especially with the vegan package
