Implementation of different statistical tools for the 
        description and analysis of gene expression data based on the 
        concept of data depth, namely, the scale curves for 
        visualizing the dispersion of one or various groups of samples 
        (e.g. types of tumors), a rank test to decide whether two groups 
        of samples come from a single distribution and two methods of
        supervised classification techniques, the DS and TAD methods. 
        All these techniques are based on the Modified Band Depth, which
        is a recent notion of depth with a low computational cost, what 
        renders it very appropriate for high dimensional data such as 
        gene expression data.

Modeling the zero coupon yield curve using the dynamic De Rezende and
             Ferreira (2011) <doi:10.1002/for.1256> five factor model with variable
             or fixed decaying parameters. For explanatory purposes, the package also
             includes various short datasets of interest rates for the BRICS countries.

R-based solution for symbolic differentiation. It admits
    user-defined function as well as function substitution
    in arguments of functions to be differentiated. Some symbolic
    simplification is part of the work.

A set of pricing and expository functions that should
    be useful in teaching a course on financial derivatives.

Discrete event simulation (DES) involves modeling of systems
   having discrete, i.e. abrupt, state changes. For instance, when a job
   arrives to a queue, the queue length abruptly increases by 1.  This
   package is an R implementation of the event-oriented approach to DES;
   see the tutorial in Matloff (2008) 
   <http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/~matloff/156/PLN/DESimIntro.pdf>.

Tools to read, write, create, and manipulate DESCRIPTION
    files.  It is intended for packages that create or manipulate other
    packages.
