"Points" not available for .C() for package "dprep"

Question

I want to perform discretization in order to perform mutual information based feature selection for supervised learning R.

library(dprep)
data(iris)
iris.discme=disc.mentr(my.iris,1:5)

I am getting following error:

Error in .C("Points", as.double(x), as.integer(n), mpoint = double(n), : "Points" not available for .C() for package "dprep"

Any help would be appreciated.

It is likely to not work, due to major changes in R for last 6 years. — , Jun 26 '15 at 05:24
OK! Do you have any idea about any other package for Mutual Information based Feature selection for supervised learning. — kravi, Jun 26 '15 at 05:26
No, any idea. Give a try to `install.packages('sos'); library(sos); findFn("Mutual Information based Feature selection")`. — , Jun 26 '15 at 05:28

This looks like a bug in the library "dprep". The error is telling you that there is no C function called "Points", even though disc.mentr() attempted to call this function. I would notify the authors of dprep.

I just looked on CRAN and did not see a library called "dprep". If it was available earlier, that may be a sign that it has been taken down.
