However rmutil package contain unusual forms for these functions. So it is easier for me to deal with the forms are contained in RankTail.

It appears you failed to follow the full instructions which were to execute:

source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite()

The first line creates the biocLite function within your workspace.

If I do not have the package, would you please let me know the right commands I should write in the script window to install TaiRank because the commands I used (which I mentioned at the beginning of the email did not work and gave errors). I appreciate your help since I am a new user of R.
