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 been used at the EEPE course in 2005.
  
• The Epi package is available from 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 0.4.
• The latest version (0.5) in progress is here as zip file for Windows and tar file.
  Not the final version, so it may contain bugs and errors.
  The next official version on CRAN will be 0.6.
• Earlier, current and progress versions of the Epi package are available here.

• Epi is not the only R-package for epidemiological analysis, a package with more affinity to infectious disease epidemiology is the epitools package.
