Time series stuff: functions used in Box-Jenkins type analyses (i.e. ARIMA)
Limited Dependent Variable and Duration models (trancated/censored models)
Lag models
Discrete dependent variable models like multinomial logit and multivariate probit

I know that most if not all of the above are already implemented, some within the basic library, the rest as user-defined functions. As a novice S+ user it would be nice to get thoroughly weaned from SAS PROCs and DOS applications like LIMDEP without having to search through all of the many S+ function libraries out there in the information jungle to find them.

Thanks for asking Charlie.
