The only obvious (?) mistake in the code is that
you refer to integrate(...)$integral -- the help page
for ?integrate says that $value is the estimate of
the integral, so you might be getting a NULL here.
However, the code you gave us is not reproducible/self-contained -- since I
don't
know what z1, z2, n1, rho are, I can't run it and see if that's the only
problem.
