Hi. I'm trying to run the elliptic package on my computer (windows platform, version 2.7.2). I downloaded the elliptic package zip file from http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN/ and installed it, but it says that it needs the "emulator" package. Can you tell me where to download this? The only similar package by name is 'emu_4.0.zip' which is not 'emulator.' I also can't have R automatically install this by clicking on 'packages' and 'install package' because it gives me an error message. Thank you. eric version 2.7.2 on a windows platform

You didn't say what the error message was that you saw, so I can't tell you whether it was due to a problem on CRAN or with what you asked for. Generally speaking it's easier and less error-prone to just ask R to install a package, rather than manually downloading and installing one. Duncan Murdoch
Reading this article, announcing the elliptic package (which was a distinct pleasure) and also looking at the R-FAQ, my guess is that you need the BACCO bundle. http://www.jstatsoft.org/v15/i07/paper -- David Winsemius On Feb 26, 2009, at 11:08 AM, eric lee wrote:> Hi.
