Missing values in a mixed ANOVA in R - r

So, in R, I am currently working with a dataset with missing values. For a t test and correlation, I am able to use either the na.rm=TRUE or the use="complete" commands. However, when using an ANOVA (I am using ezANOVA), I am not sure what you would use. Here is my code:
#reads in my file
bm=read.csv("Books_morality_2.13.csv", na.strings=".",header = TRUE)
#t test works fine
t.test(data=bm, avg_ign_badX, Avg_int_neutX, alternative="two.sided",na.rm=TRUE)
Below I try running my ANOVA
bmanova=ezANOVA(data=bm, dv=Avg_int_neutX, wid=Subject.name,
within=Avg_int_neutX, between=Litfic_popfic_nobook)
The error I get is:
"Error in ezANOVA_main(data = data, dv = dv, wid = wid, within =
within, : One or more cells returned NA when aggregated to a mean.
Check your data.".
Any suggestions for the "bmanova" portion of my code would be great. Thank you!

Error in array, regression loop using "plyr"

Good morning,
I´m currently trying to run a truncated regression loop on my dataset. In the following I will give you a reproducible example of my dataframe.
library(plyr)
library(truncreg)
df <- data.frame("grid_id" = rep(c(1,2), 6),
"htcm" = rep(c(160,170,175), 4),
stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
View(df)
Now I tried to run a truncated regression on the variable "htcm" grouped by grid_id to receive only coefficients (intercept such as sigma), which I then stored into a dataframe. This code is written based on the ideas of #hadley
reg <- dlply(df, "grid_id", function(.)
truncreg(htcm ~ 1, data = ., point = 160, direction = "left")
)
regcoef <- ldply(reg, coef)
As this code works for one of my three datasets, I receive error messages for the other two ones. The datasets do not differ in any column but in their absolute length
(length(df1) = 4,000; length(df2) = 100,000; length(df3) = 13,000)
The error message which occurs is
"Error in array(x, c(length(x), 1L), if (!is.null(names(x))) list(names(x), : 'data' must be of type vector, was 'NULL'
I do not even know how to reproduce an example where this error code occurs, because this code works totally fine with one of my three datasets.
I already accounted for missing values in both columns.
Does anyone has a guess what I can fix to this code?
Thanks!!
EDIT:
I think I found the origin of error in my code, the problem is most likely about that in a truncated regression model, the standard deviation is calculated which automatically implies more than one observation for any group. As there are also groups with only n = 1 observations included, the standard deviation equals zero which causes my code to detect a vector of length = NULL. How can I drop the groups with less than two observations within the regression code?

Error in eval(parse()) - r unable to find argument input

I am very new to R, and this is my first time of encountering the eval() function. So I am trying to use the med and boot.med function from the following package: mma. I am using it to conduct mediation analysis. med and boot.med take in models such as linear models, and dataframes that specify mediators and predictors and then estimate the mediation effect of each mediator.
The author of the package gives the flexible option of specifying one's own custom.function. From the source code of med, it can be seen that the custom.function is passed to the eval(). So I tried insert the gbmt function as the custom function. However, R kept giving me error message: Error during wrapup: Number of trees to be used in prediction must be provided. I have been searching online for days and tried many ways of specifying the number of trees parameter n.trees, but nothing works (I believe others have raised similar issues: post 1, post 2).
The following codes are part of the source code of the med function:
cf1 = gsub("responseY", "y[,j]", custom.function[j])
cf1 = gsub("dataset123", "x2", cf1)
cf1 = gsub("weights123", "w", cf1)
full.model[[j]] <- eval(parse(text = cf1))
One custom function example the author gives in the package documentation is as follows:
temp1<-med(data=data.bin,n=2,custom.function = 'glm(responseY~.,data=dataset123,family="quasibinomial",
weights=weights123)')
Here the glm is the custom function. This example code works and you can replicate it easily (if you have mma installed and loaded). However when I am trying to use the gbmt function on a survival object, I got errors and here is what my code looks like:
temp1 <- med(data = data.surv,n=2,type = "link",
custom.function = 'gbmt(responseY ~.,
data = dataset123,
distribution = dist,
train_params = start_stop,
cv_folds=10,
keep_gbm_data = TRUE,
)')
Anyone has any idea how the argument about number of trees n.trees can be added somewhere in the above code?
Many thanks in advance!
Update: in order to replicate the example code, please install mma and try the following:
library("mma")
data("weight_behavior") ##binary x #binary y
x=weight_behavior[,c(2,4:14)]
pred=weight_behavior[,3]
y=weight_behavior[,15]
data.bin<-data.org(x,y,pred=pred,contmed=c(7:9,11:12),binmed=c(6,10), binref=c(1,1),catmed=5,catref=1,predref="M",alpha=0.4,alpha2=0.4)
temp1<-med(data=data.bin,n=2) #or use self-defined final function
temp1<-med(data=data.bin,n=2, custom.function = 'glm(responseY~.,data=dataset123,family="quasibinomial",
weights=weights123)')
I changed the custom.function to gbmt and used a survival object as responseY and the error occurs. When I use the gbmt function on my data outside the med function, there is no error.

R implementation of kohonen SOMs: prediction error due to data type.

I have been trying to run an example code for supervised kohonen SOMs from https://clarkdatalabs.github.io/soms/SOM_NBA . When I tried to predict test set data I got the following error:
pos.prediction <- predict(NBA.SOM3, newdata = NBA.testing)
Error in FUN(X[[i]], ...) :
Data type not allowed: should be a matrix or a factor
I tried newdata = as.matrix(NBA.testing) but it did not help. Neither did as.factor().
Why does it happen? And how can I fix that?
You should put one more argument to the predict function, i.e. "whatmap", then set its value to 1.
The code would be like:
pos.prediction <- predict(NBA.SOM3, newdata = NBA.testing, whatmap = 1)
To verify the prediction result, you can check using:
table(NBA$Pos[-training_indices], pos.prediction$predictions[[2]], useNA = 'always')
The result may be different from that of the tutorial, since it did not declare the use of set.seed() function.
I suggest that the set.seed() with an arbitrary number in it was declared somewhere before the training phase.
For simplicity, put it once on the top most of your script, e.g.
set.seed(12345)
This will guarantee a reproducible result of your model next time you re-run your script.
Hope that will help.

predict in caret ConfusionMatrix is removing rows

I'm fairly new to using the caret library and it's causing me some problems. Any
help/advice would be appreciated. My situations are as follows:
I'm trying to run a general linear model on some data and, when I run it
through the confusionMatrix, I get 'the data and reference factors must have
the same number of levels'. I know what this error means (I've run into it before), but I've double and triple checked my data manipulation and it all looks correct (I'm using the right variables in the right places), so I'm not sure why the two values in the confusionMatrix are disagreeing. I've run almost the exact same code for a different variable and it works fine.
I went through every variable and everything was balanced until I got to the
confusionMatrix predict. I discovered this by doing the following:
a <- table(testing2$hold1yes0no)
a[1]+a[2]
1543
b <- table(predict(modelFit,trainTR2))
dim(b)
[1] 1538
Those two values shouldn't disagree. Where are the missing 5 rows?
My code is below:
set.seed(2382)
inTrain2 <- createDataPartition(y=HOLD$hold1yes0no, p = 0.6, list = FALSE)
training2 <- HOLD[inTrain2,]
testing2 <- HOLD[-inTrain2,]
preProc2 <- preProcess(training2[-c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)], method="BoxCox")
trainPC2 <- predict(preProc2, training2[-c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)])
trainTR2 <- predict(preProc2, testing2[-c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)])
modelFit <- train(training2$hold1yes0no ~ ., method ="glm", data = trainPC2)
confusionMatrix(testing2$hold1yes0no, predict(modelFit,trainTR2))
I'm not sure as I don't know your data structure, but I wonder if this is due to the way you set up your modelFit, using the formula method. In this case, you are specifying y = training2$hold1yes0no and x = everything else. Perhaps you should try:
modelFit <- train(trainPC2, training2$hold1yes0no, method="glm")
Which specifies y = training2$hold1yes0no and x = trainPC2.

Evaluating weka classifier J48 with missing values in test set, R RWeka

I have an error when evaluating a simple test set with evaluate_Weka_classifier. Trying to learn how the interface works from R to Weka with RWeka, but I still don't get this.
library("RWeka")
iris_input <- iris[1:140,]
iris_test <- iris[-(1:140),]
iris_fit <- J48(Species ~ ., data = iris_input)
evaluate_Weka_classifier(iris_fit, newdata = iris_test, numFolds=5)
No problems here, as we would assume (It is ofcourse a stupit test, no random holdout data etc). But now I want to simulate missing data (alot). So i set Petal.Width as missing:
iris_test$Petal.Width <- NA
evaluate_Weka_classifier(iris_fit, newdata = iris_test, numFolds=5)
Which gives the error:
Error in .jcall(evaluation, "S", "toSummaryString", complexity) :
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Can't have more folds than instances!
Edit: This error should tell me that I have not enough instances, but I have 10
Edit: If I use write.arff, it can be exported and read in by Weka. Change Petal.Width {} into Petal.Width numeric to make the two files exactly the same. Then it works in Weka.
Is this a thinking error? When reading Machine Learning, Practical machine learning tools and techniques it seems to be legit. Maybe I just have to tell RWeka that I want to use fractions when a split uses a missing variable?
Thnx!
The issue is that you need to tell J48() what to do with missing values.
library(RWeka)
?J48()
#pertinent output
J48(formula, data, subset, na.action,
control = Weka_control(), options = NULL)
na.action tells R what to do with missing values. When following up on na.action you will find that "The ‘factory-fresh’ default is na.omit". Under this setting of course there are not enough instances!
Instead of leaving na.action as the default omit, I have changed it as follows,
iris_fit<-J48(Species~., data = iris_input, na.action=NULL)
and it works like a charm!
