ComRades: I am geeting the error message Error in ldots[[which(MET)]] : attempt to select less than one element when I try to fit the geostatistical model with the likfit() function of geoR. I have tried with old data for which likfit() successfully maximised the likelihood in previous versions of geoR, and yet the current version fails. I have tried in Windows Vista and Windows XP (I haven't tried in Linux systems) and the problem occurs in both systems. Below I show the issue with simulated data. Is it a geoR bug? Does anybody know a solution? Thanks in advance Ruben
