Problem:
Error : Expressions nested beyond limit (256)
Solution:
When running an involved function you get Error : Expressions nested beyond limit (256)
The error you received, "Expressions nested beyond limit" indicates that S-PLUS was trying to evaluate some very deeply nested functions. There is a built-in limit (the default is 256), designed mainly to catch runaway recursive calls that would otherwise consume all memory and crash S-PLUS. We suggest increasing the nesting limit. This can be done by setting:
options(expressions=500)
This will increase the limit to 500 nested calls and should resolve your problem.
You can read more about the options() function by typing at a command prompt:
>?options
