Installing zeligverse in R 4.0.2

Question

I'm trying to use plot.ci function in the zelig library but apparently Zelig is not supported with R 4.0.2. I'm trying to see if there is a work around to access these functions or if I just can't use this library until they make the appropriate updates. Please help.

It looks like this package has been removed from CRAN's repository, meaning you can't install it like this anymore - you have to install it manually. This is explained on their website, and has download links for manual installation that have been archived: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/zeligverse/index.html

You will also have to install the following dependencies (packages it requires) to install it correctly: 'Amelia', 'MatchIt', 'WhatIf', 'Zelig', 'ZeligChoice', 'ZeligEI'

The Zelig package that is currently available appears to support the function you mentioned. You can install it with:

install.packages("Zelig")
