R help - Feb 2003 - a question regarding s-plus libraries and R

Hi!

I am a relatively new user of R and I use it to prepare my dissertation. I
have come to some very usefull and specific libraries written for S-PLUS 4
and would like to use them in R. Is that possible? I just found out that one
of these libraries has already been transfered to R, while 3 others have
not. For the matter of beeing more exact I''m interested in the dealing
with
missing survey data and Joe Shafer has the routines in S posted on his web
site. Could you advise how I could get them to work in R?

Thank you very much for the raply.

Best regards

Andrej

Andrej, you may need to be more explicit about the
precise capabilities that are lacking in R. For
instance, there is a package on CRAN called norm
that is based on work by Joseph Schafer. If you're
aware of this package and it doesn't do what you
want, perhaps there are others that do (survey,
hmisc, mice, etc).
