Dear all,

I get an error using betrag on this data set
:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1866110/dump.csv.
I run it like this
regression f2.1=betareg(Y~X1+X2,data=dump)
summary(f2.1)

I get :

Call:
betareg(formula = Y ~ X1 + X2, data = dump)

Standardized weighted residuals 2:
Error in quantile.default(x$residuals) :
 missing values and NaN's not allowed if 'na.rm' is FALSE
In addition: Warning message:
In sqrt(v * (1 - hatvalues(object))) : NaNs produced

Does anybody know how to fix this?

I cannot replicate this. I get no error but the results below for R 2.13.0 and betareg 2.3.0.

R> d <- read.table("http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1866110/dump.csv";)
R> m <- betareg(Y ~ X1 + X2, data = d)
R> summary(m)

Call:
betareg(formula = Y ~ X1 + X2, data = d)

Your results suggest that something goes wrong in the computation of residuals. So you may try to use summary(m, type = "deviance") or summary(m, type = "pearson"). If these work, then you should look at residuals(m, type = "sweighted2") which is the default type of residuals. As these involve computations of quadratic (n x n) complexity, they may be numerically less stable compared to deviance or pearson residuals which just require computations of linear complexity.
