[R-pkgs] verfication package announcement

[Matt Pocernich]

The verification package has recently been posted to CRAN.  This package
was initially developed by people in the Verification Group at the
National Center for Atmospheric Research to verfiy and study weather
models and forecasts.  It has been written in general terms to be
applicable to other fields of study.  Functions include

receiver operating characteristic curves
attribute diagrams
reliability plots
spatial scale and frequency plots
conditional quantile plots and more.

Suggestions and comments on the package can be directed to me at
pocernic at ucar.edu.  More information on verification (with a somewhat
meteorolgical perspective) can be found at
http://www.bom.gov.au/bmrc/wefor/staff/eee/verif/verif_web_page.html.

Thanks,

Matt
