Hi, I am new to R and I'm looking to perform some method comparison analysis and would be grateful for some help regarding package installation. There is a package 'MethComp' that I want to use (http://staff.pubhealth.ku.dk/~bxc/MethComp/Courses/Sthm.2007/.) Unfortunately I am unable to install it. I have tried numerous approaches but to no avail. this is the first time I have tried to install a package 'outside' of R. My operating system is Windows XP.
Here's one attempt that does not work: where="http://staff.pubhealth.ku.dk/~bxc/MethComp/Archive/?C=M;O=D"; install.packages("MethComp_0.4.1.tar.gz",contriburl=where) Warning messages: 1: In read.dcf(file = tmpf) ... : Line starting '<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLI ...' is malformed! 2: In read.dcf(file = tmpf) ... : Line starting '<html> ...' is malformed! 3: In read.dcf(file = tmpf) ... : Line starting ' <head> ...' is malformed! 4: In read.dcf(file = tmpf) ... : Line starting ' <title>Index of /~ ...' is malformed! 5: In read.dcf(file = tmpf) ... : Line starting ' </head> ...' is malformed! 6: In read.dcf(file = tmpf) ... : Line starting ' <body> ...' is malformed! 7: In read.dcf(file = tmpf) ... : Line starting '<h1>Index of /~bxc/M ...' is malformed! 8: In read.dcf(file = tmpf) ... : Line starting '<pre><img src="/icon ...' is malformed! 9: In read.dcf(file = tmpf) ... : Line starting '<hr></pre> ...' is malformed! 10: In read.dcf(file = tmpf) ... : Line starting '<address>Apache/2.0. ...' is malformed! 11: In read.dcf(file = tmpf) ... : Line starting '</body></html> ...' is malformed! ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
