Overview

About

Maintained by Yusuf BilgicCRAN page ↗

Estimates robust rank-based fixed effects and predicts robust random effects in two- and three- level random effects nested models. The methodology is described in Bilgic & Susmann (2013) https://journal.r-project.org/archive/2013/RJ-2013-027/.

Changes in 0.5

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/rlme/rlme_0.5.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "rlme_0.5.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.5) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
