Hello!

I have faced a problem in nlme-environment. My intention is to fit a penalized spline model in mixed model framework. I want make a comparison in smooth curves between two groups but for some reason I get NaN in output..

Hereis the R-code I have used.

#Z.overall is for truncated lines part
knots <- seq(1.5,6.5,by=1)
Z <- outer(weekday,knots,"-")
Z.overall <- Z*(Z>0)

fit1 <- lme(weight~group*weekday, random=list(group=pdIdent(~Z.overall-1)))
summary(fit1)
Linear mixed-effects model fit by REML
 Data: NULL
       AIC      BIC    logLik
  4379.838 4411.895 -2183.919

Random effects:
 Formula: ~Z.overall - 1 | group
 Structure: Multiple of an Identity
Z.overall1 Z.overall2 Z.overall3 Z.overall4 Z.overall5 Z.overall6 Residual StdDev: 0.1310617 0.1310617 0.1310617 0.1310617 0.1310617 0.1310617 0.9833188

Warning message:
