[Rsiena-help] New version RSiena

[Ruth M. Ripley]

Dear Maarten,

Did you mean a tgz file?

If so, I did the same with no problem. But I have only got R-2.10.1
installed, which might be different from an older version.

You can use the unpacked RSiena directory, with the option Local Package
Directory.

Is there a reason why you cannot upgrade your R?

Regards,

Ruth
