[R-sig-ME] keep.data in lme

[Cole, Tim]

Yes, but surely lme and nlme were developed at the same time?

⚠ Caution: External sender

The nlme package predated lme4 by several years and features of lme4 were never backported to nlme.

I note that lme has an argument keep.data which saves a copy of data (if it’s a data frame) to the lme object, whereas nlme lacks this argument. I’m curious - does anyone (BB?) know why they are different?

function (fixed, data = sys.frame(sys.parent()), random, correlation = NULL,
    weights = NULL, subset, method = c("REML", "ML"), na.action = na.fail,
    control = list(), contrasts = NULL, keep.data = TRUE)
NULL

    control = list(), verbose = FALSE)
NULL
