In collaboration with Gabriele Villarini and as part of the U.S. CLIVAR working group on hurricanes, I've written a short summary paper on statistical models for tropical cyclone activity. The paper is available here. The data for the R code are available here. The document was created using Sweave, LaTeX and R. The work is part of a larger project to publish a book on this topic with Oxford University Press. Comments and suggestions are certainly welcome.
