Subject: [Rd] variables in nls (PR#829)
Message-ID: <200101281407.PAA11919@pubhealth.ku.dk>

The following gives an error message:
> nls(doit[2,] ~ 7/(1 + exp(a*efft[2,])),start=c(a=-.1))
Error in as.name(varName) : attempt to use zero-length variable name

The following runs fine:
> nls(doit.vm ~ 7/(1 + exp(a*efft.vm)),start=c(a=-.1))

This happens even though doit.vm and doit[2,] are identical (and efft[])
