I am able to use lmer on an older computer without this error, but the new version (downloaded yesterday) gives me this error message:
Error in [[<-.data.frame(*tmp*, i, value = integer(0)) : replacement has 0 rows, data has 117
in response to this function:
model1<-lmer(threatened~as.numeric(focal.chel)+as.numeric(opponent.chel)+(1|as.factor(males)),na.action=na.omit,data=spiders)
I would really like to be able to use the newer version, as I've read that it has less problems with false convergence than older versions. Any help anyone can offer as to how to get this to run without the above error would be greatly appreciated.
