You must have found it yourself -- that's not one of the links I gave you. Here is one more link: http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/PACKAGES.html To install an R package make sure you are connected to the net, fire up R and issue the R command: install.packages("VaR", dep = TRUE) and to load it library(VaR) library(help = VaR) The last command will tell you what is in it. Goolging for: CRAN package VaR can get you to an overview page. Suggest you spend some time with the Introductory manual http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-intro.pdf#search=%22introduction%20to%20R%22 and some of the contributed docs at: http://cran.r-project.org/other-docs.html http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/VaR_0.2.tar.gz > but it gives me an error when i try to open it by winzip.
