[R] mvr error in PLS package

[Bricklemyer, Ross S]

All,

I have been using a data set to build pls models for three different soil properties.  Two of the three models run fine; however I receive the following error for the final model.  

> libs.IC.cal <- mvr(libs.IC.fmla, data = libsdata.cond.cal, ncomp=20,validation = "LOO", method = "oscorespls") 

Error in colMeans(x, n, prod(dn), na.rm) : 
        'x' must be numeric

There are many "0" for this soil property.  Could this cause the error?

Best,
Ross
