Hello,

I would use Phylogenetic independent contrasts to my matrix of variables (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/caper/vignettes/caper.pdf), but I cannot instal package CAIC or MacroCAIC.

> install.packages("MacroCAIC")

Warning in install.packages :
  package ‘MacroCAIC’ is not available (for R version 3.1.2)

> install.packages("CAIC")

Warning in install.packages :
  package ‘CAIC’ is not available (for R version 3.1.2)

Could you please help?

Thanks a lot,Gabi

I don't think either of those are Bioconductor packages (or R packages at all, judging from a quick Google search), so this forum is the wrong place to ask. Nonetheless, here's some free advice - if you want to use the implementation of those methods in the caper package, then you should install caper; and you should also be working on the latest version of R (3.2.3), unless you have a good reason to be using an older version.
