You will much improve your chance of getting useful help if you read
and follow the posting guide (below). In particular:

1. Versions of R and packages?

2. Show us the (minimal) code that "crashes." Can you create a minimal
artificial data set that does this that we can run?

3. Are there error messages? If so, what are they?

Cheers,
Bert
