After dputting the predict.lm function (traceback etc. did not give a hint on the source of the error message) I could locate the invalid call at around the 70-80th rows of the function: ... if (type != "terms") { if (p > 0) { XRinv <- if (missing(newdata) && is.null(w)) qr.Q(qr.lm(object))[, p1, drop = FALSE] else X[, piv] %*% qr.solve(qr.R(qr.lm(object))[p1, p1]) ip <- drop(XRinv^2 %*% rep(res.var, p)) } else ip <- rep(0, n) } ... Here ...&& is.null(w)... causes the troubles. > Bert Gunter <gunter.berton <at> gene.com> writes: > >> >> Yes, I realize that it is more likely a misunderstanding on my part. >> Suitable humility will be tendered if this is pointed out. >> >> The claimed "bug" is that predict.lm throws an error when the scale >> argument is specified with interval = "conf" (and in some other >> cases): >> >> > z <- lm(rnorm(10)~I(1:10)) >> >> > predict(z,int="conf",scale=1) >> Error in predict.lm(z, int = "conf", scale = 1) : object 'w' not found >> >> R version 3.0.2 (2013-09-25) >> Platform: i386-w64-mingw32/i386 (32-bit) >> >> Cheers, >> Bert >> > > I do not see this (see below). > > Maybe traceback() or options(recover=browser) to get > to the bottom?? > > > >> z <- lm(rnorm(10)~I(1:10)) >> predict(z,int="conf",scale=1) > fit lwr upr > 1 0.02491723 -1.1270591 1.1768935 > 2 0.06402057 -0.9129873 1.0410284 > 3 0.10312392 -0.7185606 0.9248085 > 4 0.14222726 -0.5569958 0.8414504 > 5 0.18133060 -0.4477852 0.8104464 > 6 0.22043395 -0.4086818 0.8495497 > 7 0.25953729 -0.4396858 0.9587604 > 8 0.29864063 -0.5230439 1.1203252 > 9 0.33774398 -0.6392639 1.3147518 > 10 0.37684732 -0.7751290 1.5288236 >> version > _ > platform x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0 > arch x86_64 > os darwin10.8.0 > system x86_64, darwin10.8.0 > status > major 3 > minor 0.2 > year 2013 > month 09 > day 25 > svn rev 63987 > language R > version.string R version 3.0.2 (2013-09-25) > nickname Frisbee Sailing >> > > ______________________________________________ > 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.
