R help - May 2004 - gauss.hermite?

The search at www.r-project.org mentioned a function 
"gauss.hermite{rmutil}".  However,
'install.packages("rmutil")'
produced, 'No package "rmutil" on CRAN.'  How can I find the
current
status of "gauss.hermite" and "rmutil"? 

      Thanks,
      Spencer Graves

That sounds like one of Jim Lindsay's packages, for which there's link
on
CRAN to his web page.  They are not on CRAN.

Spencer,

A Google search indicates that rmutil is listed on
http://cran.r-project.org/other-software.html. There is a link at the
bottom of the page to Jim Lindsey's site at:

http://popgen0146uns50.unimaas.nl/~jlindsey/rcode.html

There are links for rmutil.tgz and rmutil.zip below the middle of the
page.

HTH,

Marc Schwartz

Dear Spencer,

In Dr. Gray's course notes for Advanced Statistical Computing
(Appendix of Chapter 6) there are some functions for computing
abscissas and corresponding weights for several Gaussian integration
rules:

I hope this helps.

Best,
Dimitris
