CRAN (and crantastic) updates this week

New packages
------------

* batch (1.0-0)
  Thomas Hoffmann
  http://crantastic.org/packages/batch

  Functions to allow you to easily pass command-line arguments into R
  (primary use is linux), and functions to aid in submitting your R
  code in parallel on a cluster and joining the results afterward
  (e.g. multiple parameter values for simulations running in parallel,
  splitting up a permutation test in parallel, etc.). See
  `parseCommandArgs(...)' for the main example of how to use this
  package.

* bfast (1.1)
  Jan Verbesselt
  http://crantastic.org/packages/bfast

  BFAST integrates the decomposition of time series into trend,
  seasonal, and remainder components with methods for detecting and
  characterizing abrupt changes within the trend and seasonal
  components. BFAST can be used to analyze different types of
  satellite image time series and can be applied to other disciplines
  dealing with seasonal or non-seasonal time series, such as
  hydrology, climatology, and econometrics. The algorithm can be
  extended to label detected changes with information on the
  parameters of the fitted piecewise linear models.

* bibtex (0.1-3)
  Romain Francois
  http://crantastic.org/packages/bibtex

  Utility to parse a bibtex file

* BioStatR (1.0.0)
  Frederic Bertrand
  http://crantastic.org/packages/BioStatR

  This packages provides datasets for the book "Exercices et problèmes
  de statistique avec le logiciel R".

* boolfun (0.2.1)
  Frederic Lafitte
  http://crantastic.org/packages/boolfun

  This package can be used to assess cryptographic properties of Boolean
  functions (such as nonlinearity, algebraic immunity, resiliency,
  ...).

* BoSSA (1.1)
  Pierre Lefeuvre
  http://crantastic.org/packages/BoSSA

  Sort sequence from genbank. Retrieve sequence information from genbank
  (designed for viruses sequences and retrieve information such as
  isolation dates and host). Detect group of sequences presenting
  phylogeography signal. Read PDB file (protein 3D structure file).

* CCP (0.1)
  Uwe Menzel to
  http://crantastic.org/packages/CCP

  Significance tests for canonical correlation analysis, including
  asymptotic tests and a Monte Carlo method

* cubature (1.0)
  Balasubramanian Narasimhan
  http://crantastic.org/packages/cubature

  Adaptive multivariate integration over hypercubes

* doMPI (0.1-3)
  Steve Weston
  http://crantastic.org/packages/doMPI

  Provides a parallel backend for the %dopar% function using the Rmpi
  package.

* GrassmannOptim (1.0)
  Kofi Placid Adragni
  http://crantastic.org/packages/GrassmannOptim

  Optimizing a function F(U), where U is a semi-orthogonal matrix and F
  is invariant under an orthogonal transformation of U

* heavy (0.1-1)
  Felipe Osorio
  http://crantastic.org/packages/heavy

  Estimation in linear mixed effects models using heavy-tailed
  distributions

* Imap (1.01)
  John R. Wallace
  http://crantastic.org/packages/Imap

  Zoom in and out of maps or any supplied lines or points, with control
  for color, poly fill, and aspect.

* openintro (1.0)
  David Diez
  http://crantastic.org/packages/openintro

  This package is intended to be a supplement to the Open Intro open
  source book project. This package contains data sets used in the
  book along with functions used to make the book's figures.

* r2dRue (1.0)
  Unknown
  http://crantastic.org/packages/r2dRue

  2dRUE is a methodology to make a diagnostic of land condition in a
  large territory during a given time period. Was developed under the
  DeSurvey IP.

* RcmdrPlugin.sos (0.1-0)
  Liviu Andronic
  http://crantastic.org/packages/RcmdrPlugin-sos

  Rcmdr interface to sos. The plug-in renders the sos searching
  functionality easily accessible via the Rcmdr menus. It also
  simplifies the task of performing multiple searches and subsequently
  obtaining the union or the intersection of the search results.

* rngWELL (0.9)
  Christophe Dutang
  http://crantastic.org/packages/rngWELL

  It is a dedicated package to WELL pseudo random generators. But it is
  not intended to use it directly, you are strongly __encouraged__ to
  directly use the 'randtoolbox' package, which depends on this
  package.

* SampleSizeMeans (1.0)
  Lawrence Joseph
  http://crantastic.org/packages/SampleSizeMeans

  A set of R functions for calculating sample size requirements using
  three different Bayesian criteria in the context of designing an
  experiment to estimate a normal mean or the difference between two
  normal means. Functions for calculation of required sample sizes for
  the Average Length Criterion, the Average Coverage Criterion and the
  Worst Outcome Criterion in the context of normal means are provided.
  Functions for both the fully Bayesian and the mixed
  Bayesian/likelihood approaches are provided.

* SampleSizeProportions (1.0)
  Lawrence Joseph
  http://crantastic.org/packages/SampleSizeProportions

  A set of R functions for calculating sample size requirements using
  three different Bayesian criteria in the context of designing an
  experiment to estimate the difference between two binomial
  proportions. Functions for calculation of required sample sizes for
  the Average Length Criterion, the Average Coverage Criterion and the
  Worst Outcome Criterion in the context of binomial observations are
  provided. In all cases, estimation of the difference between two
  binomial proportions is considered. Functions for both the fully
  Bayesian and the mixed Bayesian/likelihood approaches are provided.

* SDMTools (1.0)
  Jeremy VanDerWal
  http://crantastic.org/packages/SDMTools

  This is a set of tools that are useful for applications of species
  distribution modelling.

* UScensus2000 (0.01)

  http://crantastic.org/packages/UScensus2000

  US 2000 Census shape files and additional demographic data from the
  SF1 100 percent files. This package contains a number of helper
  functions for the UScensus2000blk, UScensus2000blkgrp,
  UScensus2000tract, UScensus2000cdp packages.

* UScensus2000add (0.01)
  Zack W. Almquist
  http://crantastic.org/packages/UScensus2000add

  UScensus2000add packages.

* UScensus2000cdp (0.02)
  Zack W. Almquist
  http://crantastic.org/packages/UScensus2000cdp

  US Census 2000 Designated Places shapefiles and additional demographic
  data from the SF1 100 percent files. This data set contains polygon
  files in lat/lon coordinates and the corresponding demographic data
  for a number of different variables.

  Zack W. Almquist
  http://crantastic.org/packages/UScensus2000tract

  US 2000 Census Tract shapefiles and additional demographic data from
