`countreg` install fails (not on CRAN) #58

Closed philchalmers closed 8 years ago

philchalmers commented 8 years ago

Minor issue. The line 355 in book.Rnw contains the following unevaluated chunk for readers to install the required packages, but won't evaluate correctly because countreg is not on CRAN (for whatever reason).

packages <- c(
  "AER", "ca", "car", "colorspace", "corrplot", "countreg", "directlabels", "effects", "ggparallel", "ggplot2", "ggtern", "gmodels", "gnm", "gpairs", "heplots", "Lahman", "lattice", "lmtest", "logmult", "MASS", "mgcv", "nnet", "plyr", "pscl", "RColorBrewer", "reshape2", "rms", "rsm", "sandwich", "splines", "vcd", "vcdExtra", "VGAM", "xtable")
install.packages(packages)

It should probably be this instead:

packages <- c(
  "AER", "ca", "car", "colorspace", "corrplot", "directlabels", "effects", "ggparallel", "ggplot2", "ggtern", "gmodels", "gnm", "gpairs", "heplots", "Lahman", "lattice", "lmtest", "logmult", "MASS", "mgcv", "nnet", "plyr", "pscl", "RColorBrewer", "reshape2", "rms", "rsm", "sandwich", "splines", "vcd", "vcdExtra", "VGAM", "xtable")
install.packages(packages)
install.packages("countreg", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")

I've been asking Achim for months to release countreg to CRAN. I'm not sure what is holding this up, but your suggestion is a reasonable one for now.

Doesn't quite pass an R CMD check, but I see no reason why it couldn't be on CRAN after some small mods.

Resolved, via pointing to the R-Forge repo
