Hi James,
excellent, that fixed (almost) all my problems. I have nothing
against R 2.3.1 But hey, what an amazing program. I think this is
going to be a great tool. I love the ability to set priors!
Now I've run into the same problem as Kristin with my dataset, that
is R running out of memory (11k country dyads over 46 years with
eight variables). Given that Windows has a 2GB limit, I may have to
creatively think about how I can impute the data in parts... like all
developing countries first or something like that. Does AmeliaView
consume more memory than the same process in R, or does it not matter?
And I suppose if the program runs on linux (I haven't managed to get
it to work there yet), it should be possible to run it from within R
on an Intel Mac?

Mark,
Garrett earlier pointed out to us two problems in the current
installation procedures, one of which is now fixed, the other
should be fixed very shortly.
The setup executable file, is now fixed, and can be downloaded from:
http://gking.harvard.edu/amelia/setup.exe
This is an executable file that will set up the libraries for you,
and create desktop shortcuts, etc. Usually, you would do this if
you want to run the AmeliaView stand alone, without dealing with
R. However, this will still create the R libraries for you.
The online install, which you would usually run by typing at the R
prompt:
install.packages("Amelia",repos="http://gking.harvard.edu")
is
not yet running in the newest R version, 2.4.0, which came out
October 3rd. If you are still running R 2.3.x, then this command
will still work. Hopefully this will be running for R 2.4.0
shortly, and I'll send a message to the list when it is up.
If you are having problems in addition to installation, let me know.
regards,
James Honaker.
