This is the Debian GNU/Linux r-cran-car package of car, the Companion to Applied Regression package for GNU R. Car was written by John Fox. This package was created by Dirk Eddelbuettel . The sources were downloaded from http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/contrib/ The package was renamed from its upstream name 'car' to 'r-cran-car' to fit the pattern of CRAN (and non-CRAN) packages for R.

I am grateful to Douglas Bates, David Firth, Michael Friendly, Georges Monette, Brian Ripley, and Sanford Weisberg for various suggestions. Maintainer: John Fox Depends: R (>= 1.7.0), modreg Description: This package accompanies J. Fox, An R and S-PLUS Companion to Applied Regression, Sage, 2002. The package contains mostly functions for applied regression, linear models, and generalized linear models, with an emphasis on regression diagnostics, particularly graphical diagnostic methods. There are also some utility functions. With some exceptions, I have tried not to duplicate capabilities in the basic distribution of R, nor in widely used packages. Some of the functions in car will use functions in the MASS package, if it is present; the subsets function graphs objects produced by the regsubsets function in the leaps package. Where relevant, the functions in car are consistent with na.action = na.omit or na.exclude. License: GPL version 2 or newer URL: http://www.r-project.org, http:/www.socsci.mcmaster.ca/jfox/
