locfit and latest R version

2 messages · Stuart Barker (Prof), David Winsemius

I have been using some old R scripts that were prepared for me using 
R Version 1.9.0. In these, there is a call to
library(locfit)
and with this version of R, I have no problem.

But needing to upgrade to the latest version of R, I find these 
scripts no longer work, and with
help(locfit)
I get
Error in help(locfit): Object locfit not found

So my question is -
what is available that has replaced locfit, and that will do the same 
thing as locfit, but with the latest R version?

You will realise from this that I have no expertise in using R or in 
writing R scripts, and will greatly appreciate any advice.

Many thanks

Stuart Barker

My guess is that you have not configured you new installation to see  
(and update) your collection of packages. As a quick fix, what happens  
when you go to your favorite CRAN mirror and install a new copy of  
locfit? My version is 1.5-4 and runs with recent versions of R.
