It says the value is *missing* (NA), not that the length is wrong.

My quess is that term*bexp is NaN, but you have given us no context to go on.

Hi R-Gurus,

I've been cutting along quite nicely with nlm, until
I threw in the following condition in the function that nlm is
minimising:

   if (((term*bexp) < 0.0001)) {
      #warning(term*bexp, "=term*bexp",psi,"=psi")
      theta<-2000
   }



Now when I run this function anywhere else, there is no problem, whether
or the if's condition is met.

When I use this in nlm:

nlm(f=ssewrap.dist, p=c(292397.7,-.14053,0.03,.0005), .5, 1,
295.15,C,theta)
Error in if (((term * bexp) < 1e-04)) { :
 missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed


Now I know that the condition in the if should only be one logical
value, but is not the condition above evaluated to a single value, and
why does the error only occur when the function is used by nlm?

Any suggestions?

Kind regards,

Matt Redding
