Hello< I routinely use the following without a problem: fm1<-lme(score~time,data,random=~time|ID) tmp<-coef(fm1, augFrame=T) However, in my current situation, I am running into the following error when I execute the coef() call Error in tapply(as.character(object[[nm]]), groups, FUN[[dClass]]) : arguments must have same length There are some cases with missing data, but I believe this was true in prior successful attempts (although I do not recall exactly). Any thoughts on this? Thanks, Harold [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
