Hi,

i am trying to run an ANCOVA and a bootstrapped ANCOVA analysis on a specific 
data set.  I am using the ancova and ancboot functions as in the following code:

setwd("C:/Users/User/Desktop/Rdatabilingualstudy2012")

bilingualismdata<-read.spss("bilingualdataforconferences2012.sav", 
use.value.labels = TRUE, to.data.frame = TRUE)

bilingualismdata$TypeBiling<-factor(bilingualismdata$TypeBiling, levels = c(0:1), labels = 
c("monolingual", "bilingual"))

cypriot<-subset(bilingualismdata, TypeBiling=="monolingual")
cypriotenglish<-subset(bilingualismdata, TypeBiling=="bilingual")

covGrp1<-cypriot$FAS
dvGrp1<-cypriot$Simon
covGrp2<-cypriotenglish$FAS
dvGrp2<-cypriotenglish$Simon

source("http://www-rcf.usc.edu/~rwilcox/Rallfun-v16";)

ancova(covGrp1, dvGrp1, covGrp2, dvGrp2)
ancboot(covGrp1, dvGrp1, covGrp2, dvGrp2, nboot = 2000)


However, i always get the following errors (note that i get these errors when i 
am running the analysis on a specific data set.  The same code works fine with 
other data sets):

ancova(covGrp1, dvGrp1, covGrp2, dvGrp2)
[1] "NOTE: Confidence intervals are adjusted to control the probability"
[1] "of at least one Type I error."
[1] "But p-values are not"
Error in if (nuhat<  2) stop("The degrees of freedom must be greater than or equal 
to 2") :
   missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed

Aleady the way the Note is printed shows the code is poorly written, the non-working error message supports that. Since we do not have the data, we cannot help, probably lm() is capable of the ancova you have in mind.

Any help with how i van solve this would be appreciated as i am really stack 
and don't really know what to do.

Best,
Kyriakos
