Hi Amrei, I tried running the feglm function on your vignette but I got the following error message. Could you help why? (I omitted build_vignettes = TRUE when I installed the package because including it results in an error, and I wonder if this is why feglm failed.) Thanks, Vincent

library(alpaca) data <- simGLM(1000L, 200L, 1805L, model = "logit")

Fit 'feglm()'

mod <- alpaca::feglm(y ~ x1 + x2 + x3 | i + t, data) Error in .subset2(x, i, exact = exact) : invalid subscript type 'symbol'

Dear Vincent,

it is hard to say without further information. Can you give us a bit more information about your OS / R-version and especially data.table version? Updating data.table and reinstall alpaca might fix this issue.

Best,

Amrei

Sorry for not including it prior. Here you go. I tried uninstalling data.table and alpaca and reinstalling them, but am still to no avail. Thanks again for diagnosing.

So far the only difference is the R-version. We successfully tested the package on (3.4.4, 3.5.0, 3.5.1). I have no other idea yet.

I updated my R to 3.5.1 and tried to reinstall alpaca. I encountered the following error message:

You also have to update your R-tools version. https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/ Hope this will fix it.
