R help - Oct 2008 - cryptic error message: "Error in embed(y, lag) : wrong embedding dimension"

Dear R Users,

 I've been hit with a cryptic error message:

"Error in embed(y, lag) : wrong embedding dimension"

My configuration is:
- R 2.7.2
- Windows XP Sp2

Google returns nothing for this. Could someone suggest what this might 
mean ?

Thanks in advance,
Tolga

  We need more information.  What are you trying to do,
what functions are you using, what packages?
What are the results of sessionInfo() and traceback()
[run immediately after you get the error]?
  I'm guessing you're trying to do something with
the embedding dimension of a time series, and that you
might (?) be using package fractal, or GammaTest,
or fNonlinear, or tseriesChaos ?  (These came up
in an RSiteSearch for "embedding dimension")

According to the source code of embed function, it will stop work if
dimention is <1 or >n .  Part of the embed source code is mention below
for
your reference. 
if ((dimension < 1) | (dimension > n))
            stop ("wrong embedding dimension")
I have also give the link of the source file of embed funciton
"svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/src/library/stats/R/embed.R
"

Is there a reason you answer a 3.5 years old message?
