如何为 R 版本 3.5.1 安装“mFilter”包？

Question

I am trying to get hodrick-prescott filter for some time-series, I try to get the "mFilter" package but it says this:

package ‘mFilter’ is not available (for R version 3.5.1)

How can I get installed this package? is there other package who makes the same functions?

Greetings, Alvaro

Answer 1

It looks like the mFilter package has been removed from the CRAN repository.

Package 'mFilter' was removed from the CRAN repository. Formerly available versions can be obtained from the archive. Archived on 2018-07-20 as check problems were not corrected despite reminders.

You can still download the archived package from here

And install as per below (just update your path to the downloaded .tar.gz file as appropriate)

install.packages("C:/Users/xxx/xxx/mFilter_0.1-3.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source")

Answer 2

I solved the problem by using remotes library and then pulling the repo directly from github by using "install_github".

Here's the code:

library(remotes)
install_github("cran/mFilter")
library(mFilter)
