Have you read the error message? I get:

Error: unexpected '}' in:
":(cl-1)]))/(x$densit[cl]*N)
   }"

 which is because you haven't closed the "(" from the "return(" function.

 If you use an editor with syntax highlighting (emacs+ESS, tinn-R,
others) it will flash matching brackets and parentheses so you don't
make this kind of mistake.
