As a result it has not been accessible for standard installation ever since. I apologise for the inconvenience and hope it did not affect your research or interest in NMF methodologies.<br>
<br>I have been working hard on a new version, so that it could quickly make its way to CRAN, and bring along a set of improvements developed over the past year, such as a brand new and improved annotated heatmap engine for visualizing NMF results.<br>
<br>The update is now ready and passes all the checks on my system, but for some reason fails on CRAN own machines, and some investigation about this dark magic is necessary until the package is finally back live on CRAN.<br>
<br>It is important that the package is immediately available in some way though, especially given the many enquiries I had about the package and its disappearance from R world. So I put a pre-release version on my personal CRAN-like repository, from which the package can be installed via the following command:<span class=""><br>
<br>install</span><span class="">.</span><span class="">packages</span><span class="">(</span><span class="">'NMF'</span><span class="">,</span><span class=""> repos</span><span class="">=</span><span class="">c</span><span class="">(</span><span class="">'<a href="http://web.cbio.uct.ac.za/~renaud/CRAN">http://web.cbio.uct.ac.za/~renaud/CRAN</a>'</span><span class="">,</span><span class=""> getOption</span><span class="">(</span><span class="">'repos'</span>)))<code></code><br>
<br>I hope you will like this new version and welcome any feedback, bug report, discussion or suggestion, which could improve the package's quality and usability.<br>Note that there is a mailing list dedicated to this (<a href="mailto:nmf-user@lists.r-forge.r-project.org">nmf-user@lists.r-forge.r-project.org</a>) to which you can subscribe, if you have not already:<br>

<br><a href="http://nmf.r-forge.r-project.org/">http://nmf.r-forge.r-project.org</a><br><br>I will let you know when the package is officially released on CRAN.<br><br>Bests,<br>Renaud<br clear="all"><br>PS: you are receiving this email because you showed interest in the NMF package, in some way or another. Please send me an email if you do not want to receive any more emails about it.<br>
