These are shots in the dark, but you could try: running it in a clean
R session with only the necessary packages and data loaded; testing on
subsets of your data; examing the classes of all your variables and
make sure they are what is expexted; upgrading your version of R.
I just retested this on:
R version 2.12.1 (2010-12-16)
Platform: x86_64-pc-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)
locale:
[1] LC_COLLATE=English_United States.1252
[2] LC_CTYPE=English_United States.1252
[3] LC_MONETARY=English_United States.1252
[4] LC_NUMERIC=C
[5] LC_TIME=English_United States.1252
attached base packages:
[1] grid splines stats graphics grDevices utils datasets
[8] methods base
other attached packages:
[1] car_2.0-9 survival_2.36-5 nnet_7.3-1 MASS_7.3-11
again without issue, so I am thinking there must be something
particular perhaps to your session going on, but it is difficult to
say.
