Blagodatskikh Author(s): Konstantin A. Blagodatskikh [cre, aut], Stefan Roediger [aut], Michal Burdukiewicz [aut] License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/RDML Imports real-time thermo cycler (qPCR) data from RDML format files and transforms to the appropriate formats of the 'qpcR' and 'chipPCR' packages. * saery (1.0) Maintainer: Agustin Perez Martin Author(s): Maria Dolores Esteban Lefler, Domingo Morales Gonzalez, Agustin Perez Martin License: GPL-2 http://crantastic.org/packages/saery A complete set of functions to calculate several EBLUP (Empirical Best Linear Unbiased Predictor) estimators and their mean squared errors. All estimators are based on an area-level linear mixed model introduced by Rao and Yu in 1994 (see documentation). The REML method is used for fitting this model. * slackr (1.2) Maintainer: Bob Rudis Author(s): Bob Rudis (@hrbrmstr) & Jay Jacobs (@jayjacobs) License: MIT + file LICENSE http://crantastic.org/packages/slackr Slackr contains functions that make it possible to interact with 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. * tlm (0.1.2) Maintainer: Jose Barrera-Gomez Author(s): Jose Barrera-Gomez and Xavier Basagana License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/tlm Computation of effects under linear, logistic and Poisson regression models with transformed variables. Logarithm and power transformations are allowed. Effects can be displayed both numerically and graphically in both the original and the transformed space of the variables. * treatSens (1.0) Maintainer: "Nicole Bohme Carnegie" Author(s): Nicole Bohme Carnegie, Masataka Harada, Jennifer Hill License: GPL-2 http://crantastic.org/packages/treatSens Utilities to investigate sensitivity to unmeasured confounding in parametric models with either binary or continuous treatment. * vcrpart (0.2-1) Maintainer: Reto Buergin Author(s): Reto Buergin [aut, cre, cph], Gilbert Ritschard [ctb, ths] License: GPL (>= 2) http://crantastic.org/packages/vcrpart Recursive partitioning algorithm for varying coefficient generalized linear models and ordinal 2-stage linear mixed models.
