Hi, I am working with R version 2.1.0, and I seem to have run into a bug. I get the same bug when I run R on Windows as well as when I run it on Linux.
When I call anova to do a LR test from inside a function, I get an error. The same call works outside of a function. I have provided the code below. Thanks, Nisha Mulakken ############################ myFunction <- function(myDataFrame) { # Less restricted fit1 <- gls(y ~ dose, weights=varIdent(form=~1|dose), data=myDataFrame) # more restricted fit2 <- gls(y ~ dose, data=myDataFrame) anova.results <- anova(fit1, fit2) anova.results } df <- data.frame( y=c(12,3,45,1,53,6), dose=c(0,10,200,0,10,200), time=c("4.00 hrs", "4.00 hrs", "6.00 hrs", "6.00 hrs", "8.00 hrs", "8.00 hrs"), time.hours=c(4, 4, 6, 6, 8, 8), rep=rep("a", 6) ) ## This leads to the following error: ## Error in anova.lme(object = fit1, fit2) : Object "fit2" not found results <- myFunction(myDataFrame=df) ##################################################### ## The same thing outside of a function # Less restricted fit3 <- gls(y ~ dose, weights=varIdent(form=~1|dose), data=df) # more restricted fit4 <- gls(y ~ dose, data=df) ## This works: anova(fit3, fit4) ## The results: ## > anova(fit3, fit4) ## Model df AIC BIC logLik Test L.Ratio p-value ## fit3 1 5 57.98998 54.92145 -23.99499 ## fit4 2 3 55.75284 53.91172 -24.87642 1 vs 2 1.76286 0.4142 ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
