Maybe it has to do with linking the README.md?

I am rewriting the README.md into two parts: 1) A short thing to go on the front of the GitHub page 2) A longer PDF document with the mathematical formulation and background, as well as examples of usage.

I am incorporated what you have written into these.

So for now I think you can just do whatever is easiest so that the package installs.

I just deleted the README.md link via c3f9b15 I guess the problem was the link didn't point anywhere!

I see. I think the relative link that I have used only works well on GitHub. The full path has to be specified on the computer, so there was an error in installing the package.

Ok, don't worry about this, I will put up a new README and vignette this week.

I see, thank you!
