You didn't end the first code chunk (no @ at the end). This isn't
obvious from the error message, but it is obvious if you run Stangle,
and look at the resulting R file, because you know the error is in chunk
1, and that last line of it doesn't look much like R code:
###################################################
### chunk number 1:
###################################################
library(verification)
library(lattice)
dat<-read.table("verification_summary_20051024_table.txt",sep="\t",header=TRUE)
\begin{center}
###################################################
### chunk number 2:
###################################################
boxplot(dat$MAE ~ dat$BASINID)
abline(h=1)
abline(h=0.5,col="red")
