Regarding lme4a: how do I obtain it? I guess that comes down to, what is the repository to give to install.packages()? Does it require a different Matrix package than the one I have, which is, 0.999375-33 and if so, how do I not break my current lme4/Matrix combination?
The repository is http://R-forge.R-project.org but be aware that lme4a is under active development and not guaranteed against breakage. It would be inadvisable to rely on functions and classes in that package to persist.
I tried to get lme4a but am having problems.
> install.packages("lme4a", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")
Warning message:
In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :
package 'lme4a' is not available
Also, if I try and download the package source directly from:
http://r-forge.r-project.org/src/contrib/lme4a_0.999375-48.tar.gz
which comes from the "R Packages" tab of the lme4 project pages I get
"PAGE NOT FOUND."
