AQP is just about ready for version 1.0-- after a year of development, testing, and application. Details on the latest release from the NEWS file:
-------------------------- aqp 0.98-1 (2010-11-23) --------------------------
* added basic demo: demo(aqp)
* soil.slot() now computes aggregate probabilities over user-defined segments
* re-write of weighted profile aggregation functions
- aqp package now requires Hmisc package
- using Hmisc::wtd.{mean,var,quantile} to compute values
+ better adjustment of weights when computing weighted SD
+ fixes long-standing bugs with wt. mean/SD when NA present in x_i and not in wt_i
+ weighted quantiles now computed
* addition of new (experimental) S4 classes and methods
- these are now in the aqp_S4 branch
* added n.depth.ticks option to profile_plot()
* profile_compare() algorithm stabilized, new default settings
* removed code in profile_compare() that is now obsolete
- note that this will cause changes to numerical classification of soil profiles
