Hi R users,
Currently I want to fit a FIGARCH model to a dataset. The only package that
allow for it that I could find is fGarch. However it seems that the FIGARCH
model class fitting of this package has been moved to Oxmetrics. I tried to
install the old versions of it using 'tar.gz' files from CRAN archive
http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/fGarch/
<http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/fGarch/> but not sure how
it works. I tried
install.packages("myfilepath\fGarch_260.71.tar.gz", repos = NULL,
type="source")
And received this error:
Warning: invalid package './I:_R files Garch_260.71.tar.gz'

Any helps on this?
I've aways specified the package names and their locations separately in my call to
install.packages, but I don't know if that is always needed. It also appears that you
have no "/" separator between your path and the file name.
Long is trying to install a rather old version of the source R package that
contains FORTRAN code on Windows.
Besides the immediate error in the way the path was constructed in the
install.packages() call, using a single backslash, which needs to be escaped:
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#R-can_0027t-find-my-file
there are likely to be issues from trying to install an old version of the
package on a newer version of R, perhaps the lack of the requisite development
tools for compiling FORTRAN:
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#Can-I-install-packages-into-libraries-in-this-version_003f
and other issues as well.
Depending upon how far back you need to go in package versions, there may be
pre-compiled Windows binaries (.zip files) available in directories here:
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/
I don't think so: see NEWS
CHANGES IN R 3.0.0:
SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES:
• Packages need to be (re-)installed under this version (3.0.0) of
R.
so only those under bin/windows/contrib/3.0 will work, and there is only
one for each package.
