Re: [R] understanding I() in lmer formula
The suggestion to post on R-sig-ME was a good one. The problem turned out to be a bug in lmer parsing, which is now fixed.

A reproducible example would help ...
In the absence of that, check the classes of the two variables in I() and, if
you run the product on the command line, either inside I() or not, what's the
class of the result?
If that is order-dependent for the object types you're combining, while I don't
know why that might be it would go some way to explaining the outcome.

If you don't get a prompt reply here, you might do better posting this on the r-sig-mixed-models list (for obvious reasons).

[R] understanding I() in lmer formula
Is there a difference between I(x*y) and I(y*x) ? I have a call to lmer that results in this complaint: Error in is.alpha2.subordinate * ~z.min.co.res : non-numeric argument to binary operator when I change this line: I(is.alpha2.subordinate*z.min.co.res)+ to this: I(z.min.co.res*is.alpha2.subordinate)+ the complaint goes away. I'd like to understand why. __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
