As Duncan noted, since this is Linux distro specific, you would be better off 
posting to R-SIG-Fedora, which is for R on RH based distros:

  https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-fedora

A number of the R related RH/Fedora package maintainers monitor that list and 
you can discuss the nuances of some of the dependencies for R there.

That being said and while it has been a number of years for me on Linux, a 
Google search did not turn up any CLI options for 'yum' to be able to install 
without the hard coded RPM dependencies.

However, there would be an option using 'rpm' at the command line, along the 
lines of:

  rpm -ivh --nodeps RPMName.rpm

where you can either download the R RPM and install it locally, or include the 
full URL to the RPM on the EPEL server.

Of course, the above incantation can leave you without other needed 
dependencies, so use with caution.

Marc Schwartz
