Kidney.epi package for R

This is the source code for the “kidney.epi” package in R. It gets posted to the comprehensive R archive (CRAN) at intervals, each such posting preceded a throrough test. In general, each new push to CRAN with new function(s) will update the second term of the version number, e.g. 1.2.0 to 1.3.0. Updates only to the code of existing functions increment the third term of the version number, e.g. 1.2.0 to 1.2.1.
