Migration to SSH Key Authentication

ivan.nenadic@users.r-forge.r-project.org (Ivan Nenadic) — Fri, 28 Aug 2026 10:57:01 GMT

For network security reasons, access to R-Forge repositories via SSH will require SSH key authentication starting 3 September 2026.

Please migrate from password-based SSH authentication to SSH key authentication.

You can add your SSH key at the bottom of the "My Account" page (https://r-forge.r-project.org/account/).

For more detailed information about SSH key management, please read section 3.2 of the following manual: http://download.r-forge.r-project.org/R-Forge_Manual.pdf

The nowcast function of the surveillance package is used to provide situational awareness during the Covid-19 outbreak. This is a collaboration between Stockholm University, the LMU Munich and the LGL Bavaria.

For further details see the site https://corona.stat.uni-muenchen.de/ and the accompanying manuscript by Guenther et al. (2020) [1]. The nowcasts provide the basis of effective reproduction number calculations.

depmixS4 version 1.4 on r-forge with standard errors

ingmarvisser@users.r-forge.r-project.org (Ingmar Visser) — Mon, 14 Jan 2019 07:17:02 GMT

The 1.4 version of depmixS4 has an important (and much requested) new feature: the possibility to request standard errors of estimated parameters through the use of a finite differences approximation of the hessian. Comments and feedback much appreciated! After some time in this beta version we will post the new version to CRAN as well.
