Error: NA/NaN/Inf in foreign function call (arg 1)

Sébastien Plante 
Hi,

I have a huge data table with several variables containing missing values. I
want to make a simple scatter plot (Mass, HSI) and draw a smooth regression
on it.

Here are the summaries of these two variables:
Min. 1st Qu.  Median    Mean 3rd Qu.    Max.
   46.0   205.9   272.5   282.6   348.3   610.1
Min. 1st Qu.  Median    Mean 3rd Qu.    Max.    NA's
  0.300   1.045   1.350   1.491   1.835   4.270  13.000

So there are 13 missing values in HSI.

I did
plot(Mass,HSI)

and it worked fine. However, when I wanted to draw the smooth regression,

scatter.smooth(Mass,HSI)

I got this error:

Error: NA/NaN/Inf in foreign function call (arg 1)

I did not forgot to load the package modreg...

Must I declare the "NAs" before doing this analysis? If so, how?

Thanks,

S?bastien Plante
