...ot; by "w" in the formula object "y". How can this be done? Somehow, the methods that can be used in character objects do not work 1:1 in formula objects...

Dear all, I got this error message > library(dprep) > mardia(Savg) Error in cov(data) : 'x' is empty But with the same data, I got > library(mvnormtest) > mshapiro.test(Savg) Shapiro-Wilk normality test data: Z W = 0.9411, p-value = 0.6739 What does the error message "Error in cov(data) : 'x' is empty" mean? Thanks a lot! Jiao

...e sensible, then, to choose the best-fit model as the one that has *both* minimal AIC *and* minimal number of d.f.? Are there any references for such an approach? Many thanks for your help!

...other models. Would it be allowed to select model3 instead, simply because it uses up less df and the delta-AIC between model2 and model3 is just 1? Many thanks for any suggestions/comments!

Dear all, Is there a way to retrieve standard errors from nls models? The help page tells me that arguments such as se.fit are ignored... Many thanks and best wishes Christoph -- Dr. rer.nat.

Hello, We are attempting to use nlme to fit a linear mixed model to explain bird abundance as a function of habitat: lme(abundance~habitat-1,data=data,method="ML",random=~1|sampleunit) The data consist of repeated counts of birds in sample units across multiple years, and we have two questions: 1) Is it necessary (and, if so, how) to specify the repeated measure (years)? As written,

Dear useRs I am looking for a way to randomise the values within a matrix: the conditions are that the sums of the rows and the sums of the columns should remain the same as in the original matrix. Any help would be appreciated Cheers Yann
