Are you sure you called library(Quantreg) before calling any function? M.

I am using R version 2.10.0, and have downloaded the most recent version of Quantreg (4.44) and SparseM (0.83 - required package). However, when I try to run an analysis (e.g. fit1<-rq(y~x, tau=0.5)) I get an error message saying that the function "rq" could not be found. I get the same message when I try to search for any of the other functions that should be in the package (e.g. help(anova.rq)). I used this package last year and still have the old versions of both quantreg and SparseM saved on my machine. When I load these older packages and attempt an analysis (which, incidentally, worked fine last February) I get the same error messages as I do with the new versions. The only think I have changed since last February is the version of R I am using - is there any reason why quantreg wouldn't work in version 2.10.0? I'm not very experienced with R so I'm struggling to work out what may be going wrong - does anyone have any suggestions!?

Are you both using a package with the exact spelling "Quantreg"? I would have expected it to be : library(quantreg)

Frankly, I have never even heard about this package before and have no clue what it does, but the error messages nevertheless suggested a missing call of library. And I didn't bother to check the spelling, my fault. So I guess you are right... I still didn't check :-) So to the OP: try library(asdf) with "asdf" replaced by the correct package name, and mind the spelling! Michael
