Here is a workaround:
Myformula <- "api00 ~ api99"
withReplicates(bclus1, quote(coef(rq(formula(Myformula), tau=0.5,
weights=.weights
This solution makes sure the formula uses the environment where the
weights are available. If you call as.formula() from outside the
function, it will use the global environment. If you pass a character
string, it will be converted to a formula object deep in a function and
will thus use an environment where the weights are not be available
either.
Note that the same problem happens when using lm().
