[R] Dataframes in PLS package

[R. Michael Weylandt]

Can you post dput(head(eqn, 30)) so we can take a look at your data?
It's something of a cryptic error and that would go a long way in
helping us help you.

Without that though, I'm not sure you need the I(as.matrix.(dep)) and
I(as.matrix(ind)), I would imagine (untested) that eqn <-
data.frame(depy = dep, indx = ind) would work (probably better as I()
changes things just a little).

I have a hunch that the colnames of eqn are not actually depy and indx
and that's what ultimately leads to the error. Can you look at
colnames(eqn) and use those exactly in the formula to plsr? That might
fix it.
