Function storing error messages in 32 bit R-2.15.2 version

I think we need the data in order to see if this is a bug or "just" some numerical issue. Uwe Ligges

I am using 32 bit R - 2.15.2 version and working on package ltm. The program does not give me any warning message when I run tpm command for a dataset. If run tpm command for the same dataset in 64-bit R 2.15.1 version, I get the warning message shown below. Can someone suggest why is no warning message being generated by 32-bit R? Or is it being generated but not getting printed? Which function will have this warning message stored? *Consider the following code that I ran on 64-bit R - * This is package 'ltm' version '0.9-7'
resp<-read.table("D:\\DriveE\\IRT\\Outfiles\\testFile.txt")
params<-tpm(resp)

The data we used for testing is pasted below - <http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n4650532/testfile.png> Note that our objective is to analyse a dataset with 60 items and about 25,000 candidates but we used the above to test if we get desired result and the two versions gave different results. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Function-storing-error-messages-in-32-bit-R-2-15-2-version-tp4650254p4650532.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
I am working with Maulik on this. We installed a 64-bit version of R 2.15.1 now but the ltm package is under version 2.15.2 The same problem is occurring even with this version. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Function-storing-error-messages-in-32-bit-R-2-15-2-version-tp4650254p4650534.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

You and Maulik are posting messages without context and without the means to reproduce the behavior you are concerned about. You are also asking a specific question about a package that is not widely used. The Posting Guide suggests that you always include context, always make examples reproducible, and it also suggests that questions about aberrant package behavior should go to the maintainer than Rhelp.

No. It was sent to Nabble which is not Rhelp or the Rhelp Archives.
