Hello,

I have installed the nlme package, but every time I try to use the
function "summary.lme,"

How did you "try to use it"?

I get a message that the function cannot be
found.


If it says it cannot be found, then you quite possibly forgot to load the "lme4" package. Try:

require(lme4)

If you have an object "obj1" of class "lme" then typing:

 summary(obj1)

will be dispatched by the R interpreter to apply the summary.lme function to that object. Functions like summary() are called "generic". They are really underneath the hood actually a collection of functions. For summary you can see the ones that are currently loaded by typing:

 methods(summary)

I've tried to install the package several times and have
re-started R several times, but to no avail. I have also loaded the
lme4 package, in case that makes a difference. I'm using R on a brand
new Mac.

Thank you!
