This is fallout from the stringsAsFactors changes. You have 'Permanganate' as a character vector and it runs afoul of this code
aterms <- attributes(terms(x)) dcl <- aterms$dataClasses[-aterms$response] facvars <- names(dcl)[dcl %in% c("factor", "ordered")] which does not include 'Permanganate', even though the model fit has de facto promoted it to a factor. In the end, you try to multiply a px2-matrix by a 3-vector and things go poof. This probably counts a bug in R, but I see that your code actually tries to pre-convert the variables to factors. However, you misspelled "Permangate".... -pd > On 19 Jun 2020, at 17:13 , Akhilesh Singh <akhileshsingh.i...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Dear learned experts of R, > > I was writing a book through RStudio-Rmarkdown and had finally compiled it > successfully based on R package R-3.6.2.
