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.

(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]

diversity analysis, especially with the vegan package
