Hi all! I'va tried to install the routine FEAR in R, to compute DEA estimates for an academic work. I've downloaded and installed R (the last version 2.14.1) from http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN, and then I've downloaded FEAR, I've saved it on the desktop, and following the instruction I've installed it on R (from "Install package(S) from local zip files..). After this, my R console window within R GUI appears as follow:
utils:::menuInstallLocal()
package ?FEAR? successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
library(FEAR)
Errore: package ?FEAR? is not installed for 'arch=i386' >
Sounds like this package was not built for R for Windows or for an ancient version of it. Since I FEAR we do not have access to your FEAR, we can only guess.... Uwe Ligges
Couldn't resist, could you ?
Not at all.
googling "FEAR DEA R" gives this: http://www.clemson.edu/economics/faculty/wilson/Software/FEAR/fear.html
I found that FEAR, but how could I be sure this was the one cited by the OP? Anyway, I explained the nonsense of nonexisting sources in another message already, Uwe
You have to accept a click-through academic-use-only, no-redistribution, no-reverse-engineering, no-developing-copies license: "[you may not] use the software to develop copycat or functionally equivalent technology or derivative technologies based on the methods employed in the software" ... I would contact the package maintainer about this problem, since by imposing these kinds of licensing restrictions he has probably moved outside the area of interest of most active R developers/helpers ...
I've tried more times, with different versions of R (2.11 and 2.12) but the error is always the same! What's wrong? Where is my mistake??=
