I have recently been working with "MINE"
(http://www.exploredata.net/). MINE is a java program that will
work with R. Now that Gretl works with R (and flawlessly I must
say) I would like to use MINE with Gretl via R. So far I am able
to run MINE as a command line function, but not in R. I am not
able to make the necessary adjustment to the MINE.r code to get
this to run. Hopefully someone with more experience with R can
provide some advice in making the MINE.r code adjustments I need
to make. This example is from the MINE.r example file that I tried
to modify. I get "Error: could not find function "MINE".
The R function "MINE" is defined in MINE.r, so you'll have to
source() that file, or copy the required functions into an R file of
your own.
On a quick experiment, it appears that the R/java stuff doesn't work
if gretl calls R via its shared library (on Linux at any rate). I
found it necessary to do
set R_lib off
in my gretl script before the "foreign" block that calls for the
MINE analysis.
