[R] Problem with augPred?

[Meissner, Tony (DFW)]

  I have a dataset, example of the data is shown below:

Grouped Data: drain_irr ~ irr | crop
        Year decades   crop irrisystem drain_irr    irr
1310 1995-96   1990s Citrus    various     0.400  9.021

I am using nlsList to fit a model  drain_irr~a0*irr^b0 for  the crop factor the output of which is shown below:

Residual standard error: 0.53998 on 195 degrees of freedom

A plot of the data using qplot from the ggplot2 package gives the follow relationship (nswdat.crop.jpeg)




However, when I use augPred to eg augPred(nswdat.nls00) it gives the following graphic (nswdatcrop.AugP.jpeg)

While citrus and Other are OK compared with the qplot of the raw data, Winegrape and DriedVine are clearly not.  Have others encountered this problem with augPred?

I am using R-2.11.1 under Windows XP
