[R] Error with Segmented package

Thanks Dave,

when I run traceback() the following output

Error in if (psi == Inf) psi <- median(XREGseg) :
  missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed
> traceback()
2: segmented.lm(lm(y ~ x, data = data), seg.Z = ~x, psi = NA, control =
seg.control(K = 1))
1: segmented(lm(y ~ x, data = data), seg.Z = ~x, psi = NA, control =
seg.control(K = 1))


I am unsure how to interpret this.

In addition when I run the command

options(error="browser")


I get the following error

Error in options(error = "browser") : invalid value for 'error'



Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards
Andrew
