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". I think part of the problem is the change I made in line 2. When I run Gretl>tools>Start GNU R this puts me in c:\Gretl and I have MINE in c:\ . Do I have to put MINE in c:\Gretl or change something else?


Thanks,
Ron McEwan

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.
