[R] Help with the Error Message in R "Error in 1:nchid : result would be too long a vector"

[David Winsemius]

If you had included output of summary(mydata) we might be more capable 
of giving a fact-based answer but I'm guessing that you have a lot of 
catagorical variables with multiple levels and some sort of combinatoric 
explosion is resulting in too many levels of a constructed factor.
