hello R community,
i am trying to install rqpd package on windows, using the following command:
install.packages("rqpd",repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")
however, i get the following message:
Warning: unable to access index for repository
http://R-Forge.R-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.15
Warning message:
package ?rqpd? is not available (for R version 2.15.1)
i have tried using different versions of R (newer and older), but with no
luck.
I have also checked out the following thread -
http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/installing-package-rqpd-Regression-quantiles-for-panel-data-td4668594.html
but it is not so clear how this problem was resolved eventually.
would appreciate any assistance
You don't say what platform you're working on. On Windows, there is no binary for rqpd, but you can get the source. This appears to be an R-forge bug, because it will build from source without error. You should report this to R-forge. In the meantime, use type="source" when you do the install. You shouldn't need any special tools to do this, since it's a pure R package, no compiled code.
