* gapmap (0.0.1)
  Maintainer: Ryo Sakai
  Author(s): Ryo Sakai
  License: GPL-2 | GPL-3

  The gap encodes the distance between clusters and improves
  interpretation of cluster heatmaps. The gaps can be of the same
  distance based on a height threshold to cut the dendrogram. Another
  option is to vary the size of gaps based on the distance between
  clusters.

* GENLIB (1.0)

  A complete set of functions to calculate several EBLUP (Empirical Best
  Linear Unbiased Predictor) estimators and their mean squared errors.

  Slack.com messaging platform. When you need to share
  information/data from R, rather than resort to copy/paste in e-mails
  or other services like Skype, you can use this package to send
  well-formatted output from multiple R objects and expressions to all
  teammates at the same time with little effort. You can also send
  images from the current graphics device, R objects (as RData), and
  upload files.

  Recursive partitioning algorithm for varying coefficient generalized
  linear models and ordinal 2-stage linear mixed models. Special
  features are coefficient-wise partitioning, non-varying coefficients
  and partitioning of time-varying variables in longitudinal ordinal
  regression.
