Bug#512405: ITP: r-cran-msm -- GNU R Multi-state Markov and hidden Markov models in continuous time

[Andreas Tille <tillea@rki.de>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Andreas Tille <tillea@rki.de>


* Package name    : r-cran-msm
  Version         : 0.8.1
  Upstream Author : Christopher Jackson <chris.jackson at mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk> 
* URL             : http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/msm/
* License         : GPL2+
  Programming Lang: R
  Description     : GNU R Multi-state Markov and hidden Markov models in continuous time
 Functions for fitting general continuous-time Markov and hidden Markov
 multi-state models to longitudinal data. Both Markov transition rates and the
 hidden Markov output process can be modelled in terms of covariates. A variety
 of observation schemes are supported, including processes observed at arbitrary
 times, completely-observed processes, and censored states.

I plan to leave the source package as the upstream name 'msm'

I intent to put this package under team maintenance of
  Debian Science Team <debian-science-maintainers@@lists.alioth.debian.org>
because it seems to be interesting for the statsitics section.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
