While trying to:

install_github("riv","tomasgreif")

I am getting the following error:

Error in parse_repo_spec(repo) : Invalid git repo specification: 'riv'

  • `install_github(repo_owner/reponame)` and `riv` doesn't exist. What's the link to the repo? A `riv` search: https://github.com/search?l=R&q=riv&type=Repositories – NelsonGon Apr 10 '19 at 11:17

    There is riv on CRAN, maybe try: `install.packages("riv")` ? – zx8754 Apr 10 '19 at 11:25
  • https://github.com/cran/riv.git – Yogesh Govindan Apr 10 '19 at 11:41
  • Just to summarize. My end target is to get the Information value and Weight of evidence for all the independent variables and gather Variable selection using Information Value. Is there any other library – Yogesh Govindan Apr 10 '19 at 11:43
  • It would be better to ask a new question with sample data, current and expected output. See [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example). – NelsonGon Apr 10 '19 at 11:50

Use of install_github("riv","tomasgreif")seems to be deprecated. Try using following format

install_github('repo owner/repo name')

in your case

install_github('tomasgreif/riv')

Package riv was renamed to woe. The author states:

THIS PACKAGE IN NOT MAINTAINED ANYMORE. I KEEP IT HERE ONLY BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE FIND IT INTERESTING

Installing from GitHub like so: devtools::install_github("tomasgreif/riv") installs woe. That said, there is an R package called riv on CRAN.
