[Rsiena-help] Error in createEffects("behaviorBipartiteObjective2", varname, names(xx$depvars)[j], : empty effect group

[Ruth M. Ripley]

Dear Julia,

I am fairly sure I have fixed this bug in a more recent version. Please 
could you try using the version on R-forge: revision 159 is the new one 
today.

(On Windows use the Select repositories option on the Packages menu and 
then do Install package.)

Regards,

Ruth
