This is the Debian GNU/Linux r-cran-fcopulae package of fCopulae, a
set of functions for modeling of (nonlinear and nonnormal) dependence
between variables, and part of Rmetrics, a collection of packages for
financial engineering and computational finance. Both fCopulae and
Rmetrics were written and compiled primarily by Diethelm Wuertz.

This package was created by Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@debian.org>.
The sources were downloaded from 
	http://www.rmetrics.org
and are also available from
	http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/
and all CRAN mirrors as e.g.
	http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/contrib/

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