Dear R-experts,
I have tried to reach the maintainer of the rgam package. Until now, no
response.
Since I'm in a bit of a hurry, I try to reach you because as I try to
install the rgam package using the command :
install.packages("rgam")
I get this warning message :
Warning message:
package ?rgam? is not available (for R version 3.6.3)
The strange thing is that rgam depends R (>= 3.0.2) , stats
How can I solve this problem ?
Best,

You can find some versions of it in https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive, the most recent being from 2018. I'd guess it doesn't pass all checks, so it was removed. You could download the last version, and see if you can get it to work. If you are really ambitious, you might be able to take it over as maintainer. Or it might be easier to find a different package to do what you want to do. Duncan Murdoch
It's not clear from your post why you're trying to contact the maintainer. But it gives the impression you're trying to contact the maintainer, of an archived package, because you can't install the package. It's not their responsibility to respond to these kinds of questions. Also, I note the most obvious choice for GAM-based models in R, is mgcv, which ships with R. But there are other packages, if mgcv doesn't meet your needs.
