R help - Aug 2006 - "model = F" causing error in polr()

Hi all,

I got an error message if I set model =F in polr(), like
> polr(y ~ x1 + x2, data1, model = F, method = "probit")
Error in model.frame(formula, rownames, variables, varnames, extras,
extranames,  :
        variable lengths differ (found for '(model)')
but
> polr(y ~ x1 + x2, data1, method = "probit")
would work.

Why? Thank you,

Tian

Try ``model = FALSE'' rather than ``model = F'' and see if it
makes a
difference.  You make have an unwanted variable named ``F'' lurking
somewhere.

(In general it is a *bad* idea to use ``F'' when ``FALSE'' is
intended.)
