It gives me the error "unexpected symbol in '2007model' ". I'm not sure if this 'unexpected symbol' refers to the code I enter or the data table I am using. I haven't found any useful information in a Google search or in the R help files. Any suggestions of what the problem may be? -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Package-nlme-linear-mixed-effects-model-error-unexpected-symbol-tp4637842.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.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. ______________________________________________ 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.
