This is the Debian GNU/Linux r-noncran-hmisc package of Hmisc, a collection of utility functions device for GNU R, which was written by Frank Harrell. This package was created by Dirk Eddelbuettel . The sources were downloaded from http://hesweb1.med.virginia.edu/biostat/s/library/r and are also available at http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/ and its mirrors. The package was renamed from its upstream name 'Hmisc' to 'r-noncran-hmisc' to fit the pattern of CRAN and non-CRAN packages for R. Subsequent to its insertion into the CRAN archive, it was changed to 'r-cran-hmisc'.
