All,
I have an lme model estimated in R 2.5.1 on my Mac; when I estimate the same
model on Windows, the parameter coefficients are rounded to integers. Below
is a similar example for the Orthodont data. Is there some option I need to
set in the Windows version to prevent rounding? Didn't see this in the
archives.
Thanks,
David Afshartous
