Bug#198569: [ITP]: r-noncran-design -- Regression modeling strategies



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : r-noncran-design
  Version         : 1.1.6
  Upstream Author : Frank Harrell <fharrell@virginia.edu>
* URL             : http://hesweb1.med.virginia.edu/biostat/rms
* License         : GPL
  Description     : Regression modeling strategies

Design is one of two packages by Frank Harrell and requires the other, Hmisc.
Design provides the code supporting Harrell's 2002 book on 'Regression
Modeling Strategies'.  I intend to stick with the convention of calling the
(Debian) source package the same as the (source) R package -- design -- but
then normalizing on r-noncran-design as done by prior packages maintained by
Chris Lawrence and myself.

An early version is at http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/debian/misc/ and its
dpkg -f output is below

Source: design
Description: GNU R regression modeling strategies tools by Frank Harrell
 Regression modeling, testing, estimation, validation, graphics, prediction,
 and typesetting by storing enhanced model design attributes in the fit.
 Design is a collection of about 180 functions that assist and streamline
 modeling, especially for biostatistical and epidemiologic applications.
 It also contains new functions for binary and ordinal logistic regression
 models and the Buckley-James multiple regression model for right-censored
 responses, and implements penalized maximum likelihood estimation for
 logistic and ordinary linear models.  Design works with almost any
 regression model, but it was especially written to work with logistic
 regression, Cox regression, accelerated failure time models, ordinary
 linear models, and the Buckley-James model.
