Hi Hadley, Thanks for the idea, but this was a typo...
My code is the following: D <- data.frame(CPU=pred.cor2$CPU, PREP=PREP, BRG=BIZ$JOBPREPLOTRULE_BRG, CLOG=res.WIP, WE=DUMMY) model.mes <- CPU~PREP+BRG+CLOG+WE stab.model <- Fstats(model.mes, data = D, from = 0.1, vcov = function(x, ...) vcovHC(x, type = "HC", ...)) plot(stab.model) bp.mes <- breakpoints(model.mes, data = D) Fstats works, by breakpoints tells me: Erreur dans chol2inv(qr.R(fm$qr)) : l'élément (5, 5) est nul, donc l'inverse ne peut être calculé I tried and tried again, no clue....
