Hi,

A error message arose while I was trying to fit a ordinal model with lrm() I am 
using R 2.8 with Design package.

Here is a small set of mydata:
RC      RS      Sex     CovA    CovB    CovC    CovD    CovE
2       1       0       1       1       0       -0.005575280    2
2       1       0       1       0       1       -0.001959580    2
3       0       0       0       1       0       -0.004725880    2
0       0       0       1       0       0       -0.005504850    2
2       1       1       0       0       0       -0.003880170    1
2       1       0       0       1       0       -0.006074230    2
2       1       0       0       1     1         -0.003963920    2
2       1       0       0       1       0        0.000658230    2
2       1       0       1       0       1       -0.002033610    2
0       0       0       0       0       1       -0.007761770    2
0       0       0       0       1       1       -0.000951784    2

Note: In the complete data, there are NAs. But the error messages showed in 
both the complete and above sets.

attach(mydata)
lrm(RC~RS+Sex+CovA+CovB+CovC+CovD+CovE,data=mydata,na.action=na.pass)
singular information matrix in lrm.fit (rank= 8 ).  Offending variable(s):
CovE Error in j:(j + params[i] - 1) : NA/NaN argument

detach(mydata)
lrm(mydata$RC~ mydata$RS+ mydata$Sex+ mydata$CovA+ mydata$CovB+ mydata$CovC+ 
mydata$CovD+ mydata$CovE,data=mydata,na.action=na.pass)

Please read the documentation. Use data=. Don't use $ in variables in the model. I don't know what na.pass is. lrm does not allow NAs to be used in the attempted model fit.

Frank

Error in if (!length(fname) || !any(fname == zname)) { : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed


I have debugged for a while, but no success. Does anyone know what happens?

Thanks,
Mike
