CRAN (and crantastic) updates this week New packages ------------
* adaptTest (1.0) Marc Vandemeulebroecke http://crantastic.org/packages/adaptTest The functions defined in this program serve for implementing adaptive two-stage tests. Currently, four tests are included: Bauer and Koehne (1994), Lehmacher and Wassmer (1999), Vandemeulebroecke (2006), and the horizontal conditional error function. User-defined tests can also be implemented. Reference: Vandemeulebroecke, An investigation of two-stage tests, Statistica Sinica 2006. * bcv (1.0) Patrick O. Perry http://crantastic.org/packages/bcv This package implements methods for choosing the rank of an SVD approximation via cross validation. It provides both Gabriel-style "block" holdouts and Wold-style "speckled" holdouts. Also included is an implementation of the SVDImpute algorithm. For more information about Bi-cross-validation, see Owen & Perry's 2009 AOAS article (at http://arxiv.org/abs/0908.2062) and Perry's 2009 PhD thesis (at http://arxiv.org/abs/0909.3052). * dse1 (2009.10-1) Paul Gilbert http://crantastic.org/packages/dse1 This package is only to aid transition to the unbundled dse package. It has no functions, but simply requires package EvalEst. * dse2 (2009.10-1) Paul Gilbert http://crantastic.org/packages/dse2 This package is only to aid transition to the unbundled dse package. It has no functions, but simply requires package EvalEst. * EvalEst (2009.10-2) Paul Gilbert http://crantastic.org/packages/EvalEst Multivariate Time Series - extensions.See ?00dse-Intro for more details. * glmdm (0.51) Jeff Gill http://crantastic.org/packages/glmdm R CODE FOR SIMULATION OF GLMDM * integrativeME (1.1) Kim-Anh Le Cao http://crantastic.org/packages/integrativeME Mixture of experts models (Jacobs et al., 1991) were introduced to account for nonlinearities and other complexities in the data. It is based on a divide-and-conquer strategy. Mixture of experts are of interest due to their wide applicability and the advantages of fast learning via the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm. We have extended and implemented mixture of experts to combine categorical clinical factors and continuous microarray data in a binary classification framework to analyze cancer studies. To provide a hybrid signature of clinical factors and gene markers, we propose to apply different gene selection procedures as a first step. * integrativeMEdata (1.0) Kim-Anh Le Cao http://crantastic.org/packages/integrativeMEdata This package contains data sets with matched categorical clinical factors and microarray data for three cancer studies. This is part of the integrativeME package that combines these two types of variables in a binary classification framework by selecting a hybrid signature of clinical factors and gene markers. * latticedl (1.0) Toby Dylan Hocking http://crantastic.org/packages/latticedl Direct labeling functions that use the lattice package. * nodeHarvest (0.1) Nicolai Meinshausen http://crantastic.org/packages/nodeHarvest Node harvest is a simple interpretable tree-like estimator for high-dimensional regression and classification. A few nodes are selected from an initially large ensemble of nodes, each associated with a positive weight. New observations can fall into one or several nodes and predictions are the weighted average response across all these groups. The package offers visualization of the estimator. Predictions can return the nodes a new observation fell into, along with the mean response of training observations in each node, offering a simple explanation of the prediction. * sublogo (1.0) Toby Dylan Hocking http://crantastic.org/packages/sublogo Visualize correlation in biological sequence data using sublogo dendrogram plots.
