Dalgaard is somewhat amused at (a) being elevated to god-like status (b) his actual post starting "I don't think you need I() on the LHS, ..." Anyways, Jeff knows very well that I() is unneeded, but he had issues with other LHS expressions. The I() problem goes away if you put it inside unclass(), which may be a workaround in other cases. Or, perhaps, plot.lm() really ought to do that internally. -pd -- Peter Dalgaard Center for Statistics, Copenhagen Business School Solbjerg Plads 3, 2000 Frederiksberg, Denmark Phone: (+45)38153501 Email: pd....@cbs.dk Priv: pda...@gmail.com ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
