[edit] SPECIAL PACKAGES - listed at http://astro.u-strasbg.fr/~fmurtagh/mda-sw/correspondances/
1. Software in R The R package can be obtained for most computer platforms at the address The R Project for Statistical Computing.
* Correspondence analysis
o Correspondence analysis, determining rates of inertia, projections on factors, contributions, and correlations.
o Supplementary rows.
o Supplementary columns.
* Hierarchical clustering
o Background details, and examples of use on Intel Windows and Unix systems.
o All functions in one (standalone) R/S-Plus file (call in R as function hierclust).
o C source code for the clustering.
Next a DLL library for use on Intel/Windows systems.
Alternatively compile on a Unix system to get the object code (cf. "Background details..." above); and
R/S-Plus script that calls the C code (call in R as function HierClust).
* Interpretation aids
o FACOR - factors and clusters.
o Print and format FACOR results.
o VACOR - variables and clusters.
o VACOR - variables and clusters, supporting C code for clustering.
o Print and format VACOR results.
* Utilities and data
o Fuzzy or piecewise linear data coding.
o Plot axes.
o Data sets to be used with R programs. Currently 3 data sets (but see also the data sets available below that are ready for use with the Java program: these can also be easily prepared for use with the R programs).
[edit] CONTRIBUTED (CRAN) – not urgent
R.methodsS3 - Utility function for defining S3 methods, large datasets ISwR - Introductory Statistics with R Imtest - Testing Linear Regression Models
