hello all, I am trying to use the function getCovariateFormula(nlme) in conjunction with the library lme4. When I load both packages I get the following message and the getCovariateFormula function no longer works:
library(nlme) library(lme4) Attaching package 'lme4': The following object(s) are masked from package:nlme : contr.SAS getCovariateFormula getResponseFormula groupedData lmeControl I have tried removing the package after using it, with: detach(package:lme4) library(nlme) but I still get an error message when I try to use getCovariateFormula. The line I use it in, and the error message is below: rownames(table)<-c((getCovariateFormula(model1)),(getCovariateFormula(model2)),(getCovariateFormula(model3)),(getCovariateFormula(model4)),(getCovariateFormula(model5)),(getCovariateFormula(model6)),(getCovariateFormula(modelnull))) Error in switch(mode(x), "NULL" = structure(NULL, class = "formula"), : invalid formula This line works fine when I run models with different structures that are not in the lme4 package. Does anyone have any suggestions about this ? Am I not removing the package completely ? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated Thanks James Smith ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
