Hi Dick this is random.i saw your post on the internet where you had a problem with the error message in R; *"Error in rbind(vars[, coord.pair], means[, coord.pair]) : * * subscript out of bounds"* I am having the same problem with my code using the mda package for flexible and mixture discriminant analysis.I have a simple code of the form: z<-fda(y~x,data=mydata) when i put in the command "plot(z)" the error appears. been on it for ages to no aveil.I would appreciate if you still remember how you solved this error and assist me. regards Jay [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
