Hi everyone,

Please ignore my previous message: it turns out Excel, when saving as .csv, was somehow storing numerical values as text, and that was causing the error. I opened the .csv, changed all observations to --> Number type, and it worked w/o a hitch afterwards.

Thanks,


Wil

Dear list,

I have recently encountered an odd error when running glm(dep~indep, quasipoisson): while, with a subset of my data, I could get a perfectly reasonable model, once I include all of my data (17K+ observations, 29 variables), I get the following error:

Error in if (any(y < 0)) stop("negative values not allowed for the quasiPoisson family") :
 missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed
In addition: Warning message:
In Ops.factor(y, 0) : < not meaningful for factors

I say this is odd because I triple checked my response variable, and not a single observation is negative. Is R encountering an error due to the size of the data, and somehow returning a 'random' error? (would be stranger still!)

Thanks a million, hope this makes sense.

Cheers,


Wil
