Hi all,
I was wondering if there was another way for me to download the Amelia II
package. Right now I'm trying the following code
install.packages("Amelia", repos = "http://gking.harvard.edu")
But I get the following error
Warning: unable to access index for repository
http://gking.harvard.edu/bin/macosx/universal/contrib/2.7
Warning message:
package ?Amelia? is not available
Without Amelia II I really can't do the type of imputation I was hoping for
so I was wondering if someone had any recommendations. (It also doesn't work
on school computers).
Hopeless,
Ashley Anderson

Ashley,
You should be able to install it by just typing
install.packages("Amelia")

I believe you can. its just that our server isn't set up to install on a mac.
doing it directly from CRAN should work. it should also work to do
install.packages("Amelia",repos="http://gking.harvard.edu",type="source")
which skips the compiled version.

Regarding CRAN, word on the street is that there has been a major
(unplanned) power outage in Vienna and that CRAN may be down until
tomorrow.
Given that, installing packages not hosted elsewhere is going to be
quite difficult.

In a pinch, another way to install a source package on a Mac when a
binary doesn't exist is through the Terminal.
1) Download Xcode (for free) from the apple developers website, so you
have the bash command "make"
http://developer.apple.com/tools/xcode/
2) Download to your desktop the windows package (ends in .tar.gz)
3) Open up terminal and type (assuming your computer is an Intel-based
mac)
R --arch=i386 CMD INSTALL /Users/<computer-name>/Desktop/foo_1.0.tar.gz
Obviously, you should replace the computer name and the package name.

Evann

New subject: dataverse question
Quick dataverse question: if the data we use in our project is a set
of 5 imputed datasets from Amelia, should we upload the Amelia object
or 5 separate data frames? Or the un-imputed data?

New subject: dataverse question
i'd put the original data -- the inputs to Amelia -- in dvn. then
also include the code and settings that you used to run amelia, and of
course remember to include a description of how you apply it all. i'd
also include in that description the versions of all the software you
used and some log files -- all the stuff you'd have wanted when you
were trying to replicate others' work.
