Error in eval(predvars, data, env) : object 'Sewer' not found - r

I have a set of data containing species names and numbers (spp_data) and I am trying to test how the species are influenced by different parameters such as pH, conductivity, as well as the Sewer position (Upstream/Downstream) (env_data1).
When I'm trying to run the lm() I get the following error:
lm1 <- lm(specnumber ~ Sewer + pH + Conductivity, data=spp_data,env_data1)
Error in eval(predvars, data, env) : object 'Sewer' not found
Is it because the column Sewer is non-numeric?
I also tried to exclude that column and run the lm() but it did not work.

Assuming that the rows of your spp_data match the rows of your environmental data ... I think if you do
lm1 <- lm(as.matrix(spp_data) ~ Sewer + pH + Conductivity,
data=env_data1)
you will get the results of running 44 separate linear models, one for each species. (Be careful: with 44 regressions and only 21 observations, you may need to do some multiple comparisons corrections to avoid overstating your conclusions.)
There are R packages for more sophisticated multi-species analyses such as mvabund or gllvm, but they might not apply to a data set this size ...

Strange result when summing the tables

I am running some calculations in r
df1 <- data.frame( data=mydata6$Date.created, mydata6[,-1] + mydataADDtasks[,-1])
code is running, no mistake is given. when i write
View(df1)
i see a table length 16, 5 obs of 16 variables.
But when I check
summarise (df1)
data frame with 0 columns and 1 row
And obviously i can not do any calculations with dataset. What should i do? What is wrong???
It is a normal behavior of the dplyr::summarise function. You have no group combination, so it returns an empty dataframe. You could use group_by and return a non-empty dataframe.
mtcars |>
dplyr::group_by(mpg) |>
dplyr::summarise(sum_cyl = sum(cyl))
There's probably nothing wrong with your dataframe!
You could also get an output from no grouping variables, but you still would need to supply a function to get an output:
dplyr::summarise(mtcars, sum_cyl = sum(cyl))
Maybe what you are after is summary?

Convert string as object inside for loop in R

I want to be able to see summary output for few columns of iris (inbuilt dataset) inside loop using below construct, I saw here
, mget might be a solution but guess its not. Can someone help here with the latest & effective way to run it
l <- c("Sepal.Length","Sepal.Width")
for(i in l){
print(summary( mget(paste0("iris$",l))))
}
I get an error on running above
Error: value for ‘iris$Sepal.Length’ not found
Q2 How would this work for different dataframe
l <- c("iris","mtcars")
for(i in l){
print(summary( mget(l)))
}
Since you are having column names in a vector, you don't need to get them. Just use it directly as index [[ to extract the column.
Base R:
sapply(l, function(x) summary(iris[[x]]))
Sepal.Length Sepal.Width
Min. 4.300000 2.000000
1st Qu. 5.100000 2.800000
Median 5.800000 3.000000
Mean 5.843333 3.057333
3rd Qu. 6.400000 3.300000
Max. 7.900000 4.400000
Q2:
In this case because you need to get the value of an object, you literally need the get() function.
sapply(c("iris","mtcars"), function(x) summary(get(x)))

Tapply and function with several arguments

I can use the tapply function to make basic operations (e.g. using mtcars data, calculate mean weight by number of cylinders).
library(data.table)
mtcars <- data.table(mtcars)
tapply(X = mtcars[,wt],
INDEX = mtcars[,cyl],
mean)
However, I do not know how to perform more complex operations. E.g. Correlation between weight and qsec variables by number of cylinders.
I tried something like the following but it does not work.
tapply(X = mtcars[,.(wt, qsec)],
INDEX = mtcars[,cyl],
cor.test(mtcars[,wt], mtcars[,qsec]))
Error in match.fun(FUN) : 'cor.test(mtcars[, wt], mtcars[, qsec])' is not a function, character or symbol
tapply(X = rownames(mtcars[,.(wt,qsec,cyl)]),
INDEX = mtcars[,cyl],
function(r) cor.test(mtcars[r, 1],
mtcars[r, 2])
Any idea how to do this efficiently with an t/apply function?
In my mind, a tapply data.table variant should have FUNs that operate on indexed subsets of the data.table. I have defined a dt_tapply is I imagine it should behave. Seems ok practical.
library(data.table)
data(mtcars)
mtcars = data.table(mtcars)
#iterate over table with index, like tapply just for table rows
dt_tapply = function(dx,INDEX,FUN=NULL,...) {
lapply(sort(unique(INDEX)),function(i){
do.call(FUN,c(list(dx[INDEX==i,]),list(...)))
})
}
dt_tapply(mtcars,mtcars$cyl,summary)
#some custom made function computing stuff from multiple columns giving some blob output
compute_cor_wtqsec = function(dx) {
cor(dx$wt,dx$qsec)
}
#dt_tapply that function
dt_tapply(mtcars,mtcars$cyl,compute_cor_wtqsec)

For training the model, I did the following:
trainCtrl <- trainControl(method = "cv", number = 10, savePredictions = TRUE)
rfModel <- train(classe ~., method = "rf", trControl = trainCtrl, preProcess = "pca", data = training, prox = TRUE)
The model worked. However, I was rather annoyed by multiple warning messages, repeated up to 20 times, invalid mtry: reset to within valid range. A few searches on Google did not return any useful insights. Also, not sure it matters, there were no NA values in the dataset; they were removed in a prior step.
I also ran system.time(), the processing time was awfully more than 1 hour.
> system.time(train(classe ~., method = "rf", trControl = trainCtrl, preProcess = "pca", data = training, prox = TRUE))
user system elapsed
6478.113 302.281 7044.483
If you can help decipher the what and why this warning message, that would be super. I would love to hear any comments regarding such a long processing time.
Thank you!
The caret rf method uses the randomForest function from the randomForest package. If you set the mtry argument of randomForest to a value greater than the number of predictor variables, you'll get the warning you posted (for example, try rf = randomForest(mpg ~ ., mtry=15, data=mtcars)). The model still runs, but randomForest sets mtry to a lower, valid value.
The question is, why is train (or one of the functions it calls) feeding randomForest an mtry value that's too large? I'm not sure, but here's a guess: Setting preProcess="pca" reduces the number of features being fed to randomForest (relative to the number of features in the raw data), because the least important principal components are discarded to reduce the dimensionality of the feature set. However, when doing cross-validation, it's possible that train nevertheless sets the maximum mtry value for randomForest based on the larger number of features in the raw data, rather than based on the pre-processed data set that's actually fed to randomForest. Circumstantial evidence for this is that the warning goes away if you remove the preProcess="pca" argument, but I didn't check any further than that.
Reproducible code showing that the warning goes away without pca:
trainCtrl <- trainControl(method = "cv", number = 10, savePredictions = TRUE)
rfModel <- train(mpg ~., method = "rf", trControl = trainCtrl, preProcess = "pca", data = mtcars, prox = TRUE)
rfModel <- train(mpg ~., method = "rf", trControl = trainCtrl, data = mtcars, prox = TRUE)

Using summary function in R and applying to particular cases

Just self-learning R at the moment and have gotten a little stuck. I have a dataset and I want to summarize (find mean, max, etc) but only selecting those cases that have a particular value on a certain variable.
Alternatively, I guess the same outcome could be done by summarizing only certain rows in the dataset (ie summarize only rows 1 thru 20).
Could someone lend a helping hand? Thanks so much
