Hi Gábor,
I just tried to import a package called 'weights' from cran repository. Its
a package related to weighting and weighted statistics. I am attaching the
definition package with this mail. Please find the attachment.
In the next step I understand that we are suppose to store this in a file
in the Guix store tree. I'm not sure about how to proceed with this step.
Is it like pushing to git ?

Thanks,
Lakshmi Prasannakumar

$ guix import cran weights
guile: warning: failed to install locale
hint: Consider installing the `glibc-utf8-locales' or `glibc-locales' package and defining `GUIX_LOCPATH', along these lines:

     guix package -i glibc-utf8-locales
     export GUIX_LOCPATH="$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale"

See the "Application Setup" section in the manual, for more info.

  (description
    "Provides a variety of functions for producing simple weighted statistics, such as weighted Pearson's correlations, partial correlations, Chi-Squared statistics, histograms, and t-tests.  Also now includes some software for quickly recoding survey data and plotting point estimates from interaction terms in regressions (and multiply imputed regressions).  NOTE: Weighted partial correlation calculations pulled to address a bug.")
