Box Tidwell / Error Message / Error in parse(file, n, text, prompt) : syntax error in
2 messages · Simon P. Kempf, John Fox
Dear Simon, I think that the most likely answer is that there's an error in the command that you wrote (which is being sourced from a file?), but it's hard to tell from the information that you supply. It might help to do a traceback() after the error. I doubt that the error depends on the data. I hope this helps, John -------------------------------- John Fox Department of Sociology McMaster University Hamilton, Ontario Canada L8S 4M4 905-525-9140x23604 http://socserv.mcmaster.ca/jfox --------------------------------

Kempf Sent: Monday, December 04, 2006 2:53 AM To: r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch Subject: [R] Box Tidwell / Error Message / Error in parse(file, n, text,prompt) : syntax error in Dear R-Users, I used the box.tidwell () function of the car Package. So far everything is fine. However, if the number of dummy variables in the part not to be transformed (other.x formula) exceeds a certain level (around 70), I receive the following error message: Error in parse(file, n, text, prompt) : syntax error in What did I miss? And how can I solve this problem? I read some of the messages in the mail archives about this error message, but to be honest I am rather a novice in R, I did not understand them. Some background information: - The data set does not have any missing values - The data set contains more than 19000 observations. Thanks in advance and if you need more information about the data, please let me know, Simon Simon P. Kempf Dipl.-Kfm.
