Subject: Model average error message
In-Reply-To: <DB6PR1001MB138280A451E5B703AB9BCE80AE560@DB6PR1001MB1382.EURPRD10.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM>
Hi Helen,
model.avg() tells you which models are duplicates. What do the formulas
look like for those models? Seeing the formulae may help identify what
model.avg() gets stuck on.
Best,
Phillip
