Not strictly related to spatial epidemiology, but we've started to put together a bundle of commonly-used epi functions into a package for R. There is a link off the main EpiCentre web page: http://epicentre.massey.ac.nz/ Functions included (so far) are shown below. Bit of an assortment ... whenever a function has been needed its been added to the package. Feedback welcome. Couple of caveats: (1) Windows only! (2) edit your Rprofile to use 'options(htmlhelp=TRUE)' so the HTML pages are called when you ask for help, (3) this is work in progress.
