Hypothesis "RayosRayos.2 = (Intercept)" is not well formed: contains bad coefficient/variable names.

Dear Jean, This is, I suppose, linearHypothesis() in the car package. It's impossible to know from the information that you've given what the source of the problem is, since you don't show the formula for model.rayos. If it's correct, which apparently isn't the case, the hypothesis that you specified tests that a coefficient in the model named "RayosRayos.2" is equal to the regression intercept, which is standardly named "(Intercept)." Is that what you intended? Best, John ------------------------------------------------ John Fox Sen.
