[R] Can not find lme

[Jeff Newmiller]

Perhaps you should read the help for that package, where you would 
discover that it does not contain an "lme" function.

library(help="lme4")

You could type

help.search("lme")

and discover that there is an "lme" function in the "nlme" package.  At 
that point you could perhaps confirm what you really want to do.

You might also want to avoid calling your data "data", since that is the 
name of a builtin function.

Also, many useRs recommend against the use of the "attach" function (at 
all), instead preferring the use of "data=" arguments to functions such as 
lme, or directly using the $ operator to specify the data frame and 
column.  The "attach" function can easily leads to subtle confusions in 
data names.

It is even possible that next time you might read the posting guide and 
post in plain text.
