I am trying to model survival data with a Weibull distribution                  
                                                       
using survreg. Units are clustered two apiece, sometimes receiving              
                                                       
the same treatment and sometimes opposing treatment.                            
                                                       
                                                                                
                                                       
Residual and predict methods are not carried out on the survreg                 
                                                       
object, although the component linear.predictors exists for the                 
                                                       
survreg object. Looking at the code I see that the residual method              
                                                       
refuses to run if any of the components of the pterms vector is                 
                                                       
equal to 2.                                                                     
                                                       
                                                                                
                                                       
When taking the logarithm of the data and trying a linear mixed                 
                                                       
model, residuals and predicted values are produced just fine.                   
                                                       
                                                                                
                                                       
So what is pterms and why is it that, when any component of it                  
                                                       
is 2, residuals are not allowed to be displayed?
