Had problems installing some of the component packages on the latest version of R on Mac. Uninstalled and reinstalled the same version of R (2.15.2) and no problems.

Good Morning:
I'm a regular user of EzI to analyze voting patterns but not a computer
savy person.
The problem: after loading the program on a new computer, the
application windows just flash open and closed. BTW, the operating
system is VISTA.
If you could provide some insight into what may be the problem, it would
be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Dr. B.
Gary King,
Several years ago I did some research on Italian party vote using EZI. I am thinking of updating that research.
Is there a newer version of EZI available? I notice the version on you website is dated 2003.
Previously I used the Windows version. Does the current version work with Windows 7?

To whom it may concern,
I am trying estimate the percentage of Mormons in Utah who voted republican
across time in gubernatorial, senatorial, presidential, and attorney
general elections. I have data sets for nearly every election dating back
to 1960. These data sets report the proportion of Mormons out of the total
population at the county level for every county in Utah. The data sets also
report the proportion of voters who voted republican at the same county
level and the total number of voters in each county. For the majority of
the data sets, the "ei" program has worked fine. However, for two of the
data sets, the "ei" program reports an error message that I haven't figured
out. The error message appears after the "dbuf<-ei()" command. Here is the
exact text (the first three lines appear just before the error message):
[1] "Running 2x2 ei"
Maximizing likelihood
Importance Sampling..
Error in if (any(lower > upper)) stop("lower>upper integration limits") :
missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed
To further clarify my problem, I've attached a data set for which "ei"
worked fine--"2000Attgen.csv"--and a data set for which "ei" reported the
above error message--"2004Attgen.csv". You can upload these files into R
and then run the commands in the attached "Commands.R" script file. The
"Printout from commands.R" script file presents the printout I see when I
run the same commands I've attached.
My questions are: What exactly is the error message telling me? And how do
I fix the error?
Thank you in advance for your assistance. Please feel free to respond to
this e-mail address if you have further questions.

Hello,
I tried to run a quite basic 2x2 ei in R. My code looked like this :
dbuf <- ei(Sarko ~ LePen, total="Inscrits", data=data)
and I got this error :
Erreur dans .subset2(x, i, exact = exact) : type 'list' d'indice incorrect
(I couldn't find the translation in English of this error, which seems
rather rare)
Do you have any idea of where this comes from ? What could I do to
make it work ?
Thank you,

Hi folks:
I am trying to use EiRxC to estimate votes by race for 7 candidates. (412 precincts, 7 variables of vote counts for candidates, proportion asian turnout, and proportion asian noturnout) I also intend to run estimates for black, latino, and white voters.
But, I keep encountering a frustrating error message that tells me my data are neither counts nor proportions. This is frustrating because its just not true. I have attempted to load my data into R in various formats: stata .dta, .csv, .spss, and .dbf. I have attempted to run RxC models with data that are all count data, with data that are all proportions, and with a mixture. The error message occurs, regardless. I am using the most recent versions of the EiR package on a Mac.
Here is the weird part: I have been able to do one successful run using the ei.MD.bayes function, but only with a vastly reduced version of my data. If I only input the first 10 observations, I am able to complete a semi-successful run. This works using either the eiR coding dbuf = ei(formula, data=) and with the eiPack example code dbuf <- ei.MD.bayes(formula, data=).
I have had successful runs with the ei 2x2 functions with my data, and I have also been able to successfully run the eiRxC example code using the RxCdata.
I appreciate any help you can give me.
Best,

Please excuse if this is a newbie question - I am just starting the transition from Stata to R for more compelx estimation...
I installed R and Zelig on OSX (10.6.8), installing each of the component packages individually as recommended in the Zelig installation guide. Everything appeared to go OK. Then I installed eiPack, again without incident. Then I went to install ei, and I received the following:
Warning: dependencies ‘msm’, ‘tmvtnorm’, ‘ellipse’, ‘plotrix’, ‘ucminf’, ‘cubature’, ‘mnormt’, ‘foreach’ are not available
The installation ended with a non-zero exit status.
What should I do?

Hi ei users,
We've just released a new version of ei. This new version wraps both ei 2x2
and eiRxC into one function. It also includes a new way of visualizing
model dependence in eiRxC data with a new function called tomogRxC.
Because it incorporates all these new features, the code for using eiR has
changed slightly. Please take a look at the new
documentation<http://gking.harvard.edu/gking/files/ei.pdf> to
get acquainted with this new code. You can download the new version using
the command install.packages("ei", repos="http://r.iq.harvard.edu",
type="source"). The new version relies on eiPack, so make sure that is
also installed. As always, the old version is still available at
http://gking.harvard.edu/eiR if you wish to continue using that. Please
let us know if you have any questions or suggestions!
Best,
Gary and Molly
