Hi
Thanks for your response.
However I seem to be doing something wrong regarding
the try block resulting in yet another error described
below.
I have a function that takes in a file name and
does the fit for the data in that file.
Hence based on your input, I tried
try ( (fit = lm(y~x, data = data_fitting)), silent T);
I left the subsequent lines of my code unchanged.
coeffs = as.list(coef(fit);
lambda = exp(coeffs$x)....
After the change using try, when I tried to resume
processing under R as follows
source("fitting.R")
for filename in list { process(filename); }
It says "Cannot find object "fit" "...(in the line
trying to get the coefficients...)
Am I closing the try block in the wrong place?
This function does some post processing on the
coefficients returned by coef(fit), puts them in a
list and sends it to another function.
(i.e. around 6 lines of code after the call to fit).
Thanks
Lalitha
