Hello,
I was hunting for something else and came across your old message, and
I noticed that it had never received an answer (at least on the list).
I really tried to figure out what might be going on just by looking
at your code, but I could not get enough information from your email
and your code is not reproducible. For instance, in your function,
you reference other functions that are not part of base R (e.g.,
calculateGroupMean() ). Also, your data, plan1, plan2, etc. and
u_proj. If you still have a question about your function, please
provide a reproducible example.
Best regards,
Josh
