new packages: geepack and KMsurv

[Jun Yan]

I uploaded two packages to cran two weeks ago, and have just compiled them
for windows using the cross-building tools on linux. Now I would like to
anounce their existence.

The first package, geepack, is generalized estimating equations modeling 
for both mean and association structure for multivariate responses. The
DESCRIPTION file is

Description: Generalized estimating equations solver for parameters in
mean, scale, and correlation structures, through mean link, scale link, and
correlation link. Can also handle clustered categorical responses.

The second package KMsurv is a data package for the textbook Klein and
Moeschberger (1997), Survival Analysis. It may be useful in teaching
or studying such a course. The DESCRIPTION file is

The windows version of these packages are available at

I am grateful to Professor Douglas Bates and Professor Jason Fine for
encouragement, discussions and comments. 

Please kindly let me know if there are any questions, comments,
and bugs of course.
