Hi,

I have a function, callGam, that fits a gam model to a subset of a dataframe. The 
argument to callGam is a formula, the subset is determined inside the function itself. 
My naïve approach generates and error, see below. I guess this is because 'idx' is 
loocked up in the environment of 'formula', but I am too ignorant about environments 
to be able to tell for sure. Could someone please suggest a way around?

Thanks,
Vadim

Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : Object "idx" not found
