I am running into problems calling the library function nlme from within another function. Basically,the following function (with v a list containing data and initialization values) > testfunc function(dat=v) { test<-nlsList(result~a+(b-a)/(1+(conc/(c+z*cdiff))^d) |rep,start=dat$init,data=dat$mixeddat) return(nlme(test,random=b~1)) } produces the error message Error in eval(expr, envir,

I have a need to call and pass arguments to nlme() from within another function. I use R version 1.8. I have found an apparent way to make this work, but I would appreciate some comments on whether this fix is really appropriate, or there is another way to do it that does not involve changing the source code. I don't have enough experience to start changing the sorurce code of a library

I hope that the mailing list is the correct forum for the question below. I have trouble calling functions nlsList and nlme from another function. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
