Dear list,

citing from allEffects' help page (of package effects 4.1-2):
"If xlevels=n is an integer, then each numeric predictor is
represented by n equally spaced values rounded to 'nice' numbers."
        

However, adapting the first example from allEffects' help
page throws an an error:

mod.cowles <- glm(volunteer ~ sex + neuroticism*extraversion,
                  data=Cowles, family=binomial)
allEffects(mod.cowles, xlevels=5)
Error in xlevels[[name]] : subscript out of bounds


It appears to me that the cause is buried in
effects:::Analyze.model

in or close to the the lines

if (is.numeric(xlevels) & length(xlevels) == 1L) {
  levs <- xlevels
  for (name in focal.predictors) xlevels[[name]] <- levs
 }



where xlevels -- while not being a list in this case -- is
subscripted by xlevels[[name]].

Is anyone aware of a workaround (without having to specify all
numeric predictors of the used model explicitly in a list and
giving it to xlevels when calling allEffects), and without
having to write my own Analyze.model function? ;-)


 Thx in advance and best regards  --  Gerrit
