Your first predict sets up a newdata with a column name that is not the same as the one that you used in the lm formula. The failure to match causes R to look in the global environment, where it finds AT.
You really should make a habit of always putting your regression data into a data.frame and specifying that using the data argument to lm. Working with some input data in a data frame and other data not in the same data frame can make it much harder to debug and to understand. B <- data.frame( Time = timevalues ) B$Counts <- predict( lm( Counts ~ Time, data = A ), newdata = B ) -- Sent from my phone. Please excuse my brevity.
