I'm puzzled by the following problem, which appears when attempting to run an analysis on part of a dataset: If I try: csubset <- dat$Diagnosis==0 cont <- lme(fixed=cform, random = ~1|StudyName, data=dat,subset=csubset,na.action=na.omit) Then I get: Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : Object "csubset" not found But if I do

Hi to all, test <- data.frame("X"=c(1:4),"Y"=c(5:8),"Z"=c(8:11)) test <- test[,-2] Is there a way to specify the col name "Y" to delete instead the number? Kind regards Knut

I have data (each Y_i is a vector) in the form of Y_i = X_i \beta_i + Z_i b_i + epsilon_i Were it not for the measurement error (the epsilon_i) it's a very simple model --- nice and balanced, compound symmetry, and I'd just use lme(y ~ x1 + x2, random=~1|subj, ...) but the measurement error is throwing me off. Because the Y_i are actually derived from other data, I am able
