Sorry, we had some problems with the initial sending of our weekly digest
which resulted in a rather empty email. Here is the correct version:

CRAN (and crantastic) updates this week

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

* atm (0.1.0)
Charlotte Maia
http://crantastic.org/packages/atm

An R package for creating additive models with semiparametric
predictors, emphasizing term objects, especially (1) implementation
of a term class hierarchy, and (2) interpretation and evaluation of
term estimates as functions of explanatories.

* gnumeric (0.5-1)
Karoly Antal
http://crantastic.org/packages/gnumeric

Read data files readable into R. Can read whole sheet or a range, from
several file formats, including the native format of gnumeric.
Reading is done by using ssconvert (a file converter utility
included in the gnumeric distribution) to convert the requested part
to CSV.

* KFAS (0.3.1)
Jouni Lehtonen
http://crantastic.org/packages/KFAS

Fast multivariate Kalman filter, smoother, simulation smoother and
forecasting. Uses exact diffuse initialisation when distributions of
some or all elements of initial state vector are unknown.

* munsell (0.1)
Charlotte Wickham
http://crantastic.org/packages/munsell

Functions for exploring and using the Munsell colour system

* oosp (0.1.0)
Charlotte Maia
http://crantastic.org/packages/oosp

An R package designed to support object oriented statistical
programming, especially by extending S3 capabilities, providing
pointer and component objects, and providing basic support for
symbolic-numeric statistical programming.

* PLIS (1.0)
Zhi Wei
http://crantastic.org/packages/PLIS

PLIS is a multiple testing procedure for testing several groups of
hypotheses. Linear dependency is expected from the hypotheses within
the same group and is modeled by hidden Markov Models. It is noted
that, for PLIS, a smaller p value does not necessarily imply more
significance because of dependency among the hypotheses. A typical
applicaiton of PLIS is to analyze genome wide association studies
datasets, where SNPs from the same chromosome are treated as a group
and exhibit strong linear genomic dependency.

* rrv (0.0.1)
Charlotte Maia
http://crantastic.org/packages/rrv

An incomplete R package for working with random return variables. The
current package provides limited support for formatting money. More
features will be added in the future.

* ttrTests (1.0)
David St John
http://crantastic.org/packages/ttrTests

Four core functions evaluate the efficacy of a technical trading rule.
- Conditional return statistics - Bootstrap resampling statistics -
Reality Check for data snooping bias among parameter choices -
Robustness, or Persistence, of parameter choices
