Error in lm.fit(X, y) : 0 (non-NA) cases for white test

[sluforest]

I'm trying to do a white test for my model, but I cannot understand why this error happens, I do not there any x or y is NA.

lm_birthweight_2 = lm(birthweight~smoker+nprevist, data = x)
bptest(lm_birthweight_2, ~ smoker*nprevist + I(smoker^2) + I(nprevist^2), data = x)

Error in lm.fit(X, y) : 0 (non-NA) cases

Hello.
Thanks for providing code , but you could take further steps to make it more convenient for other forum users to help you.

Share some representative data that will enable your code to run and show the problematic behaviour.

You might use tools such as the library datapasta, or the base function dput() to share a portion of data in code form, i.e. that can be copied from forum and pasted to R session.

FAQ: How to do a minimal reproducible example ( reprex ) for beginners

A minimal reproducible example consists of the following items: A minimal dataset, necessary to reproduce the issue The minimal runnable code necessary to reproduce the issue, which can be run on the given dataset, and including the necessary information on the used packages. Let's quickly go over each one of these with examples: Minimal Dataset (Sample Data) You need to provide a data frame that is small enough to be (reasonably) pasted on a post, but big enough to reproduce your issue. Let's say, as an example, that you are working with the iris data frame head(iris) #> Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species #> 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.…
