[R-pkgs] AER 1.0-0: Applied Econometrics with R

[Achim Zeileis]

Version 1.0-0 of the package "AER" for "Applied Econometrics with R" has been 
released to CRAN (http://CRAN.R-project.org/package=AER) a few weeks ago. 
It accompanies

   Applied Econometrics with R
   Christian Kleiber, Achim Zeileis
   http://www.springer.com/978-0-387-77316-2
   http://www.amazon.com/Applied-Econometrics-R-Use/dp/0387773169/

from Springer's useR! series.

This version contains a new package vignette
   vignette("AER", package = "AER")
providing an overview of the package. An extensive list of worked examples 
is available in a new set of demos
   demo(package = "AER")
which reproduce all the examples from the above book.

Many of the examples and demos in the AER package use other CRAN packages for 
econometric analyses of various data sets. A collection of some of these CRAN 
packages is presented in a recently published special volume of JSS:

   Econometrics in R
   Journal of Statistical Software
   Special Volume edited by Achim Zeileis and Roger Koenker
   http://www.jstatsoft.org/v27/

We hope that all these provide useful information for econometric analyses 
using R.
