I was trying to install the AER package and quantreg is a dependency, I get the following warning and AER is not installed:
Warning in install.packages :
URL 'https://cran.rstudio.com/src/contrib/quantreg_5.24.tar.gz': status was '404 Not Found'
Then I tried to install quantreg and got the same error.
I looked at the URL, and saw that the newest version is quantreg_5.26. Can I somehow install this version from Rstudio, or does the AER package require the older version? How should I proceed?
I have R version 3.3.0.
Sometimes it helps to install the dependency first (quantreg), then install the package you really want (AER).
FWIW, I'm on linux mint, and when I just installed AER it didn't even install quantreg at all... (granted, I'm not trying to use AER, so I don't mind...)
