Software, R and R packages

• I am involved in the development of R (as a member of the R Core Development team) and the following CRAN packages:
  • BRugs interfaces to OpenBUGS. It is mainly based on former work of Andrew Thomas.
  • klaR is a package for classification and visualization. Its miscellaneous functions have been developed at the Department of Statistics.
  • R2WinBUGSinterfaces to WinBUGS. It is based on the bugs.R code from Andrew Gelman.
  • RWinEdt: WinEdt as an editor for R.
  • scatterplot3d: 3D Scatter Plot
  • signal: Signal analysis.
  • tuneR for the analysis of musical sound. It is still in an early stage of development, but basic functions (e.g. to handle Wave files and periodograms) are included.
• For details regarding the R project, please visit the official R homepage. For details on Windows binary packages on CRAN, please visit CRAN/bin/windows/contrib/.
