R help - Dec 2009 - csimtest function in multcomp package

Hello all,

Quick question: I want to do posthoc contrasts for a linear mixed  
effects model. However, when trying to use the csimtest function in  
multcomp package I receive an error message saying it cannot find the  
function, even after installing and loading package multcomp.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated

Daniel

Daniel,
quick guess: There has been a major change in the package some time ago,
with quite a few functions vanishing and others added. So I guess your
"recycled" code was based on an older version of multcomp. My current
version (1.1-0) does not have csimtest anymore either. I guess you want
to look into ?glht in the same package, and check the archives to find
out more about the changes (and yes, you will have to modify your code
to some extent, at least so had I, it's not just replacing the function
name).
HTH, Michael

The function is not part of the package interface anymore. The interface 
was generalized and streamlined compared to earlier versions. The the 
package vignettes for the current version.
