News/Changelog

0.0-12  ongoing
o distrib(): added "forward" and "reverse" to the type= argument.  Modified so that the x-axis labels on the
    normal distribution plots correspond to exact integer standard deviation away from the mean.  This change
    is purely for pedagogical reasons.
o hist.formula(): added a ylmts= argument to allow user to set maximum of y-axis separately for each histogram.
o Subset(): added.

0.0-11  15Sep08
o .First.lib: added to print startup message and check for installed packages.
o c.region(): modified by returning a list of values used in the plotting and adding a plot= argument.  These
    two changes allow the user to use c.region to find the plotting values without making the plot.  This was
    needed for the plot.htest() function.
o d.region(): modified as described for c.region().
o distrib(): modified by adding a show.alt= argument which allows user control of whether the message showing
    alternative code for obtaining the same answer is shown or not.  Defaults to FALSE (don't show message).
    Also added a shade.col= argument to control the color of the shaded area.  Added code to work-around a
    problem of constructing plots when the value of interest is one of the values along the x-axis.
o fit.plot.POLY(): added this S3 method to plot polynomial regressions.  It basically calls the SLR method.
o fit.plot.TWOWAY(): corrected error when more then 6 line types were needed (max is 18, though).
o hist.formula(): added this S3 method of allos plotting of multiple histograms at once.  This replaces mhist().
o mhist(): deleted and replaced with hist.formula().
o plot.htest(): added this S3 method to provide a visual of the p-value computed for the one-sample z-test (from
    the TeachingDemos package), one-sample t-test, paired t-test, two-sample t-test, and chi-square tests.
o residual.plot.POLY(): added this S3 method to plot polynomial residuals.  It basically calls the SLR method.
o Summarize(): this replaces the old Summary() and adds the ability to use a formula to get summary statistics
    by levels of a factor.
o Summary(): this is now deprecated ... it simply passes its arguments to Summarize.
o typeoflm(): added the ability to detect polynomials.
0 view(): modified by adding which= argument to allow choosing variables/columns to display.

0.0-10  15May08
o Moved to RForge.net

o distrib(): modified, now returns answer regardless of plot= argument.
o extract.data(): modified, added xdec=, ydec=, and filename= arguments.
o lgrep(): added.
o rhead(): removed, replaced with view()
o view(): added, replaced rhead()

0.0-9   22Apr08
o upgraded to R 2.7.0.
o changed dependencies to include sciplot package.

o choose.colors(): added, to allow users to choose among a variety of palettes.  See also palette.choices().
o fit.plot.ONEWAY(): modified, uses lineplot.CI() from the sciplots package to allow the plotting of confidence
    intervals on the one-way fit.plot.  Other related controls were also implemented.
o fit.plot.TWOWAY(): modified, uses lineplot.CI() from the sciplots package to allow the plotting of confidence
    intervals on the two-way fit.plot.  Other related controls were also implemented.
o fit.plot.IVR(): modified, allowed color choices through choose.colors() and placed legend in topright by default.
o palette.choices(): added, aids choose.colors().
o residual.plot(): modified, changed mdl= argument to object= argument to make more compatible with fit.plot().
    Created SLR, IVR, ONEWAY, and TWOWAY methods.  This caused some over coding but clarified the construction of the
    IVR residual plots and makes more consistent with fit.plot().  Along the way, changed the ONEWAY and TWOWAY to have
    bp= argument that defaults to TRUE so that boxplots of the residuals are shown rather than points.  Also modified
    the colors used in the IVR.
o residual.plot.IVR(): added, see also residual.plot().
o residual.plot.ONEWAY(): added, see also residual.plot().
o residual.plot.SLR(): added, see also residual.plot().
o residual.plot.TWOWAY(): added, see also residual.plot().
o trans.chooser.ONEWAY(): modified, added bp= argument because of changes to residual.plot().
o trans.chooser.TWOWAY(): modified, added bp= argument because of changes to residual.plot().
