[R] lme4 on Mac OS X

2010-07-22 Thread Nicholas Griffin 
I have been trying to get the lme4 package installed on Mac OS X... with no
success.  The Mac OS binary is not available on any CRAN, and I also can¹t
install the package from old source.  Has anyone found a solution to this
problem?  I am happy to use nlme for now, but I tend to prefer to do my
mixed model analyses with lmer().

Thanks,

I believe this has been addressed several times recently. The new  
settings for RSiteSearch no longer search the r-help listings but you  
can use it to get to Baron's repository and then change the parameters:


http://search.r-project.org/cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?query=mac+lme4max=20result=normalsort=scoreidxname=Rhelp10

I have fixed my perception of this design deficiency by creating a new  
search function in my .Rprofile:


 rhelpSearch -
function(string,
  restrict = c(Rhelp10, Rhelp08, Rhelp02,  
functions ),

  matchesPerPage = 100, ...)
 RSiteSearch(string=string,  restrict = restrict,   
matchesPerPage = matchesPerPage, ...)
