Epi package for epidemiological analysis in R

• The Epi package is mainly focused on "classical" chronic disease epidemiology.
• The package has grown out of the course Statistical Practice in Epidemiology using R.
  It has also been used at the EEPE course in 2005 and 2006.
  
• The Epi package is available from CRAN which can be found on the R homepage.
  Alternatively, you can from a running R session on a computer on the net just type:
  > install.packages( "Epi" )
  
• The latest version of Epi on CRAN is 1.1.2.
• The latest version (1.1.4) is here as zip file for Windows and tar file.
  
  • Earlier, current and progress versions of the Epi package are available here.
  • Any version newer than 1.1.0 is subject to change without notice and may contain known or unanticipated errors.
• A mailing list has been set up, click here to join.
• Here is A short introduction to R for Epidemiology. Beware that the pages 42-125 of this is merely the manual pages for the Epi package.
• Epi is not the only R-package for epidemiological analysis, a package with more affinity to infectious disease epidemiology is the epitools package.
