The issue is fAsianOptions. Is there a version that works with the latest version of R? If not, which version of it works with which version of R and where can it be found? I tried several at the archive already. Alternatively, is there another package that behaves similarly to prob?

Yes. That's the version I've been discussing that has non-zero exit status. That situation is why CRAN retired the prob package. It's possible you installed that library earlier in development and it's been "carried" along. It no longer installs, now. The problems with all of this seem to have started this month according to the conversations. However, no one has

It is a pleasure for me to announce the new built for Rmetrics Version 191.0057. The source files and Windows binary packages can be downloaded from www.rmetrics.org . The new built has also been submitted to the CRAN server. Some new functions and example files have been added. Unfortunately the user guides and reference guides are not yet updated, they have still the status of Version

Do you have some other suggestion about how to get it to work? I notice you're not using Windows which might have a relationship

Rtools is not available for the current version of R. What I'm looking for is an alternative package or how others have managed to create workarounds.

Thanks. I found that, and installed it and got the same message.

1. I have used gdata::read.xls() with much happiness. But every now and then it breaks. I have not, as yet, been able to construct a mental model about the class of .xls files for which it works. Does someone have a simple rule for predicting the circumstances under which it will work? 2. Just like there is a read.xls(), it'd be great if we have a read.ods() which directly

Hello I do not know very much about statistics (and English language too :-( ), then I come in search of a clarification (explanation): I found two distinct results on KURTOSIS and I do not know which of them is the correct one.

I'm looking for a function that lists a few summary stats for a column (or row) of data. I'm aware of summary(x), but that does not give me what I'm looking for. I'm actually looking for something that is very similar to the descriptive statistics tool in excel; i.e. Mean, Std. Error, Std. Deviation, Kurtosis. I'm positive that I came across a function that did this (possibly

Hello, I'm new to R and would like to know how to create a vector of "rolling sums". (I have seen the Rmetrics package and the rollMean function and I would like to do the same thing except Sum instead of Mean.) I imagine someone has done this, I just can't find it anywhere. Example: x <- somevector #where x is 'n' entries long #what I would like to do is: x1
