I was wondering whether someone can help me understand the
following behavior of the ace-function:
When ace is called with mon-parameter set to zero, R gives the
message "response spec can only be lin or ordered
(default)" and returns immediately. However, according to the help
file mon=0 requires the response transformations to be limited
to monotonic transformations.
For instance, the following call of the ace-function will not be
evaluated if one gives mon=0
TWOPI <- 8*atan(1)
x <- runif(200,0,TWOPI)
y <- exp(sin(x)+rnorm(200)/2)
a <- ace(x,y, mon=0)
Why does mon=0 not work and how should one interpret the message
"the response spec can only be lin or ordered" ?
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Christof
