Off course, same problem: You're referring to an object y in your command. But you have no object named y in your workspace, so R can't continue.
Look at the help files: ?plotCI You'll see you have to put quotation marks around y, like William showed you. Next to that, please also define from which package you use a plot. plotCI can be found in the gplots package and in the plotrix package. Cheers Joris Either you define all input for the function before you run it, or you use the double quotes like William showed > > thanks! > beloitstudent > > > On Sat, Jun 5, 2010 at 5:16 PM, Joris FA Meys [via R] < > ml-node+2244611-1554261936-278...@n4.nabble.com<ml-node%2b2244611-1554261936-278...@n4.nabble.com> >> wrote: > >> you can't refer to an argument within a function call.
