This is the Debian GNU/Linux r-cran-acepack package of acepack, a
collection of two functions [ace() and avas()] for selecting
regression transformations that was written by Phil Spector, Jerome
Friedman, Robert Tibshirani, and Thomas Lumley.

This package was created by Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@debian.org>.
The sources were downloaded from 
	http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/contrib/

The package was renamed from its upstream name 'acepack' to 'r-cran-acepack'
to fit the pattern of CRAN (and non-CRAN) packages for R.

The acepack function ace() is in the public domain; avas() is freely
available at www.statlib.org.


The file README states

  This package is based on public domain S and FORTRAN code for AVAS by 
  Tibshirani, and on FORTRAN code for ACE from Statlib, written by Spector
  and Friedman.


The file README.avas states

  This archive contains new S code for avas (additivity and variance
  stabilization). It is used to estimate transformations for regression.
  It is officially a public domain product.


The file ace.doc contains the following header

  C ESTIMATE MULTIPLE OPTIMAL TRANSFORMATIONS FOR REGRESSION AND
  C CORRELATION BY ALTERNATING CONDITIONAL EXPECTATION ESTIMATES.
