Dear R Community,

I am pleased to announce the release of a new package called  'dlnm', now available on CRAN (version 0.2.1).
 
The package dlnm provides some facilities to run distributed lag models (DLM's) and their non-linear extension (DLNM's), a modelling framework to describe simultaneously non-linear and delayed effects between predictors and an outcome in time-series data.
 
The package includes a vignette giving an extended overview of its capabilities together with the theory underlying DLNM's, including an detailed summary of the functions and some examples of application to real data, in order to get new users started easily.
 
I hope that this package will be useful to your work. 
Any kind of feedback (questions, suggestions, bug-reports, etc.) is appreciated.

Sincerely,
 
Antonio Gasparrini
