External Cluster Validation - Categorical Data R - r

I've recently been attempting to evaluate output from k-modes (a cluster label), relative to a so-called True cluster label (labelled 'class' below).
In other words: I've been attempting to external validate the clustering output. However, when I tried external validation measures from the 'fpc' package, I was unsuccessful (error term posted below script).
I've attached my code for the mushroom dataset. I would appreciate if anyone could show me how to successful execute these external validation measures in the context of categorical data.
Any help appreciated.

Error in if (ncol(spc1$amp) > ncol(spc2$amp)) { : argument is of length zero

I am using WarbleR in R to do some acoustic analyses. As freq_range couldn't detect all the bottom frequencies very well, I have created a data frame manually with all the right bottom frequencies, loaded this into R and turned it into a selection table. Traq_freq_contour and compare.methods and freq_DTW all work fine (although freq_DTW does give a warning message:
Warning message: In (0:(n - 1)) * f : NAs produced by integer overflow
However. If I try to do the function cross_correlation, I get the following error:
Error in if (ncol(spc1$amp) > ncol(spc2$amp)) { :
argument is of length zero
I do not get this error with a selection table with the bottom and top frequency added with the freq_range function in R instead of manually. What could be the issue here? The selection tables both look similar:
This is the selection table partly made by R through freq_range:
And this is the one with the bottom frequencies added manually (which has more sound files than the one before):
This is part of the code I use:
#Comparing methods for quantitative analysis of signal structure
compare.methods(X = stnew, flim = c(0.6,2.5), bp = c(0.6,2.5), methods = c("XCORR", "dfDTW"))
#Measure acoustic parameters with spectro_analysis
paramsnew <- spectro_analysis(stnew, bp = c(0.6,2), threshold = 20)
write.csv(paramsnew, "new_acoustic_parameters.csv", row.names = FALSE)
#Remove parameters derived from fundamental frequency
paramsnew <- paramsnew[, grep("fun|peakf", colnames(paramsnew), invert = TRUE)]
#Dynamic time warping
dm <- freq_DTW(stnew, length.out = 30, flim = c(0.6,2), bp = c(0.6,2), wl = 300, img = TRUE)
str(dm)
#Spectrographic cross-correlation
xcnew <- cross_correlation(stnew, wl = 300, na.rm = FALSE)
str(xc)
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Problems formating data (biomod2)

I keep running into an error while trying to run the BIOMOD_FormatingData()-function.
I have checked through all arguments and removed any NA-values, the explanatory variables are the same for both the testing and training datasets (independent datasets), and I've generated pseudo-absence data for the evaluation dataset (included in eval.resp.var).
Has anyone run into this error before? and if so, what was the issue related to? This is my first time using Biomod2 for ensemble modelling and I've run out of ideas as to what could be causing this error!
Here is my script and the subsequent error:
library(biomod2)

Error in 'indepTest' in PC algorithm for conditional Independence Test

I am using PC algorithm function, in which Conditional Independence is one of the attribute. Facing error in the following code. Note that 'data' here is the data that I have been using, and 1,6,2 in gaussCItest are the node positions in my adjacency matrix x and y of the data.
code:
library(pcalg)
suffstat <- list(C = cor(data), n = nrow(data))
pc.data <- pc(suffstat,
indepTest=gaussCItest(1,6,2,suffstat),
p=ncol(data),alpha=0.01)
Error:
Error in indepTest(x, y, nbrs[S], suffStat) :
could not find function "indepTest"
Below is the code that worked.removed the parameters for gaussCItest as its a function, which can be used directly.
library(pcalg)
suffstat <- list(C = cor(data), n = nrow(data))
pc.data <- pc(suffstat,indepTest=gaussCItest, p=ncol(data),alpha=0.01)

Error running neural net

In addition: Warning message:

hepatitis variable consists of the hepatitis dataset available on UCI.
This error message is because you have character values in your data.
Try reading the hepatitis dataset with na.strings = "?". This is defined in the description of the dataset on the uci page.
headers <- c("Class","AGE","SEX","STEROID","ANTIVIRALS","FATIGUE","MALAISE","ANOREXIA","LIVER BIG","LIVER FIRM","SPLEEN PALPABLE","SPIDERS","ASCITES","VARICES","BILIRUBIN","ALK PHOSPHATE","SGOT","ALBUMIN","PROTIME","HISTOLOGY")
hepatitis <- read.csv("https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/machine-learning-databases/hepatitis/hepatitis.data", header = FALSE, na.strings = "?")
names(hepatitis) <- headers
library(nnet)
set.seed(9850)
train1<- sample(1:155,110)
test1 <- setdiff(1:110,train1)
ideal <- class.ind(hepatitis$Class)
# will give error due to missing values
# 1st column of hepatitis dataset is the class variable
hepatitisANN <- nnet(hepatitis[train1,-1], ideal[train1,], size=10, softmax=TRUE)
This code will not give your error, but it will give an error on missing values. You will need to do address those before you can continue.
Also be aware that the class variable is the first variable in the dataset straight from the UCI data repository
Edit based on comments:
The na.action only works if you use the formula notation of nnet.
So in your case:
hepatitisANN <- nnet(class.ind(Class)~., hepatitis[train1,], size=10, softmax=TRUE, na.action = na.omit)

Error: object not found - cor.ci

I'm trying to use cor.ci to obtain polychoric correlations with significance tests, but it keeps giving me an error message. Here is the code:
install.packages("Hmisc")
library(Hmisc)
mydata <- spss.get("S-IAT for R.sav", use.value.labels=TRUE)
install.packages('psych')
library(psych)
poly.example <- cor.ci(mydata(nvar = 10,n = 100)$items,n.iter = 10,poly = TRUE)
poly.example
print(corr.test(poly.example$rho), short=FALSE)
Here is the error message it gives:
> library(psych)
> poly.example <- cor.ci(mydata(nvar = 10,n = 100)$items,n.iter = 10,poly = TRUE)
Error in cor.ci(mydata(nvar = 10, n = 100)$items, n.iter = 10, poly = TRUE) :
could not find function "mydata"
> poly.example
Error: object 'poly.example' not found
> print(corr.test(poly.example$rho), short=FALSE)
Error in is.data.frame(x) : object 'poly.example' not found
How can I make it recognize mydata and/or select certain variables from this dataset for the analysis? I got the above code from here:
Polychoric correlation matrix with significance in R
Thanks!
You have several problems.
1) As previously commented upon, you are treating mydata as a function, but you need to treat it as a data.frame. Thus the call should be
poly.example <- cor.ci(mydata,n.iter = 10,poly = TRUE)
If you are trying to just get the first 100 cases and the first 10 variables, then
poly.example <- cor.ci(mydata[1:10,1:100],n.iter = 10,poly = TRUE)
2) Then, you do not want to run corr.test on the resulting correlation matrix. corr.test should be run on the data.
print(corr.test(mydata[1:10,1:100],short=FALSE)
Note that corr.test is testing the Pearson correlation.
