Dear all, I am trying to fit a nonlinear model with a autocorrelation term, but everytime I type in the command, I got an error message from Winwows and R closes itself. The command line is as follows: mod1<-nlme(V~A*exp(-B*A.O)*Vac.t.1.,data,fixed=A+B~1,random=A+B~1|ORDINAL,+ correlation=corCAR1(0.3179,~A.O|ORDINAL,TRUE),start=c(A=1.2,B=0.2)) I have already fitted this model allowing Phi to vary while optimizing, and it was fine, but as soon as I try to keep it fixed (argument "TRUE"), I simply can't I don't get any error message from R, just a Windows error seying something like "R for windows GUI front-end has detected a problem and has to close". And that?s it, R is over! I don't know if I am doing anything wrong, or if it has to be with my system (I have Windows XP Pro), but it looks like a bug in R. Do you know anything else about this. Thank you very much, Antonio
Is this a bug in R?

You are in fact using the contributed package 'nlme', not just R. Please read both the section on BUGS in the FAQ and the posting guide, and send a reproducible example to the nlme maintainer. One thing the posting guide asks for is a useful subject line. Something like `A crash when using nlme'.
