Hi Robert:

Thanks for your response, as well.

I'm sorry. As you've discovered, I made some capitalization errors when posting my R code.  The actual R code 
does use "lme", "data", and "random".

The dataframe is indeed named "emiss" and each item in the formula is a column 
in the dataframe. I used the following R code to read in the comma-delimited file (first 
line contains headings):

    emiss <- read.table("data.csv", header=TRUE, sep=",") # NA for missing data 
(default)

A review of the dataframe "emiss" shows that all items, except "STUDY", "VEHICLE" and "NEW", are of type "num". The 
items "STUDY", "VEHICLE", and "NEW" are of type "factor".

I will work on creating some "fake data". However, since I don't have SAS v6.12 anymore, 
I can't provide the so-called "correct results".

As for the R hang, your wording is correct: "R gets caught in a processing loop that 
produces no errors or warnings", even after 15 minutes on an 8-core Mac Pro.  As I 
recall, the SAS code produced an answer in 15 seconds or less on a single core Mac II 
back in 1999.
You really should start over. Compose a correct version of code and data and 
resubmit to the place this questions _should_ have gone in the first place: the 
R-SIG-Mixed-models mailing list (correct spelling and link should be on the 
listinfo page.)


Thanks again!

I don't have real help, but I'll remind you that R is case sensitive, and it 
looks like that will be at least one problem in the solution your are working 
on below:
lme not LME
data not DATA
random = RANDOM
------------------------------------------------------------------

The R code I've devised for the PROC MIXED statement is shown below:

------------------------------------------------------------------
FitTHC <- LME(ln_thc ~ rv + t5 + t9 + ar + ol + ox + su + bz,
          DATA = emiss,
          RANDOM = ??????? )
------------------------------------------------------------------

As indicated, the problem I'm having is in constructing the equivalent code for 
the RANDOM and any remaining settings. I've tried

RANDOM = ~1 + rv + t5 + t9 + ar + ol + ox + su + bz | new)

but R hangs
Are the items in your random formula columns in a dataframe named emiss?  Do 
they have data types?  Even if the data are proprietary some fake data can make 
the problem more concrete.
You are saying "gets caught in a processing loop that produces no errors or 
warnings"???

and never produces a result. Therefore, what is the equivalent code for the SAS 
RANDOM?

Thanks!
