Error in betadisper function - vegan package - r

I am trying to run the betadisper function (vegan package) and it returns an error. This is what I do:
hom.cov <- betadisper(morf.dist, sexo)
and it retorns to me this error:
Error in sort.list(y) : 'x' must be atomic for 'sort.list'
Have you called 'sort' on a list?
Then I run to traceback:
traceback()
5: stop("'x' must be atomic for 'sort.list'\nHave you called 'sort' on
a list?")
4: sort.list(y)
3: factor(x)
2: as.factor(group)
1: betadisper(morf.dist, sexo)
When I saw this I tried to convert the vector "sexo" in factor with "as.factor" and then run again, but it returned to me the same error. So I tried to run "betadisper()" with the example use in "Numerical Ecology with R" and give me another error:
env <- read.csv("DoubsEnv.csv", row.names=1)
env.pars2 <- as.matrix(env[, c(1, 9, 10)])
env.pars2.d1 <- dist(env.pars2)
(env.MHV <- betadisper(env.pars2.d1, gr))
Error in x - c : arreglos de dimensón no compatibles
traceback()
2: Resids(vectors[, pos, drop = FALSE], centroids[group, pos, drop =
FALSE])
1: betadisper(env.pars2.d1, gr)
I don't know what could happend. Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

R claims that sexo is not atomic. This is not the most obvious message, but it means that sexo is not a simple vector of values, but it may be, say, a data frame or a list. Issue
str(sexo)
and see what you get. If you see text like data.frame or list in the output and then a dollar sign ($) then you don't have a simple structure. For instance, the following output is not an atomic item:
> str(a)
List of 1
$ a: Factor w/ 4 levels "BF","HF","NM",..: 4 1 NA 4 2 2 2 2 2 1 ...
In this case you should use a$a instead of only a.

R, getting an invalid argument to unary operator when using order function

I'm essentially doing the exact same thing 3 times, and when adding a new variable I get this error
Error in -emps$EV : invalid argument to unary operator
The code chunk causing this is
evps<-aggregate(EV~player,s1k,mean)
sort2<-evps[order(-evps$EV),]
head(sort2,10)
s1k$EM<-s1k$points-s1k$EV
emps<-aggregate(EM~player,s1k,mean)
sort3<-emps[order(-emps$EV),]
head(sort3,10)
Works like a charm for the first list, but the identical code thereafter causes the error.
This specific line is causing the error
sort3<-emps[order(-emps$EV),]
How can I fix/workaround this?
Full Code
url <- getURL("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/M-ttM/Basketball/master/class.csv")
shots <- read.csv(text = url)
shots$make<-shots$points>0
shots2<-shots[which(!(shots$player=="Luc Richard Mbah a Moute")),]
fit1<-glm(make~factor(type)+factor(period), data=shots2,family="binomial")
summary(fit1)
shots2$makeodds<-fitted(fit1)
shots2$EV<-shots2$makeodds*ifelse(shots2$type=="3pt",3,2)
shots3<-shots2[which(shots2$y>7),]
locmakes<-data.frame(table(shots3[, c("x", "y")]))
s1k <- shots2[with(shots2, player %in% names(which(table(player)>=1000))), ]
pps<-aggregate(points~player,s1k,mean)
sort<-pps[order(-PPS$points),]
head(sort,10)
evps<-aggregate(EV~player,s1k,mean)
sort2<-evps[order(-evps$EV),]
head(sort2,10)
s1k$EM<-s1k$points-s1k$EV
emps<-aggregate(EM~player,s1k,mean)
sort3<-emps[order(-emps$EV),]
head(sort3,10)
The error message seems to occur when trying to order columns including chr type data. A possible workaround is to use the reverse function rev() instead of the minus sign, like so:
column_a = c("a","a","b","b","c","c")
column_b = seq(6)
df = data.frame(column_a, column_b)
df$column_a = as.character(df$column_a)
df[with(df, order(-column_a, column_b)),]
> Error in -column_a : invalid argument to unary operator
df[with(df, order(rev(column_a), column_b)),]
column_a column_b
5 c 5
6 c 6
3 b 3
4 b 4
1 a 1
2 a 2
Let me know if it works in your case.
On this line, emps$EV doesn't exist.
s1k$EM<-s1k$points-s1k$EV
emps<-aggregate(EM~player,s1k,mean)
sort3<-emps[order(-emps$EV),]
head(sort3,10)
You probably meant
s1k$EM<-s1k$points-s1k$EV
emps<-aggregate(EM~player,s1k,mean)
sort3<-emps[order(-emps$EM),]
head(sort3,10)

Error in cor(x, use = use) : supply both 'x' and 'y' or a matrix-like 'x'

I am using the psych package,

Least_appealing <- gsub(",", "", Least_appealing)
Least_appealing <- as.numeric(Least_appealing)
fa.parallel(Least_appealing)

How can I conduct a Factor analysis succesfully?
First I got the error message, my 'x' must be numeric, that's why I used the above mentioned code.
When I used this code, R tells me, that I got NA's through the conversion.
I still kept on and tried fa.parallel, which gives me another error message.
If you have character data intermixed with numeric data (e.g., your coding is categorical and you need to convert it to numerical, you could try using the char2numeric function before doing the fa.
e.g. with data that are a mix of categorical and numerical;
describe(data) #this will flag those variables that are categorical with an asterix
new.data <- char2numeric(data) #this makes all numeric
fa(new.data, nfactors=3) #to get three factors
It appears that you have only one variable in your 'least.appealing' object.

How to capture particular warning message and execute call

Lately when I run my code that uses coxph in the survival package
coxph(frml,data = data), I am now getting warning messages of the following type
1: In model.matrix.default(Terms, mf, contrasts = contrast.arg) :
partial argument match of 'contrasts' to 'contrasts.arg'
2: In seq.default(along = temp) :
partial argument match of 'along' to 'along.with'"
I'm not exactly sure why all of a sudden these partial argument match warnings started popping up, but I don't think they effect me.
However, when I get the following warning message, I want coxph(frml,data = data) = NA
3: In fitter(X, Y, strats, offset, init, control, weights = weights, :
Loglik converged before variable 2 ; beta may be infinite.
6: In coxph(frml, data = data) :
X matrix deemed to be singular; variable 1 3 4
I used tryCatch when I wasn't getting the partial argument match warning using this code where if the nested tryCatch got either a warning or error message it would return NA
coxphfit = tryCatch(tryCatch(coxph(frml,data = data), error=function(w) return(NA)), warning=function(w) return(NA))
However, now that I am getting the partial argument match warnings, I need to only return an NA if there is an error or if I get the above warning messages 3 and 4 . Any idea about how to capture these particular warning messages and return an NA in those instances?
It's actually interesting question, if you are looking for quick and dirty way of capturing warnings you could simply do:
withCallingHandlers({
warning("hello")
1 + 2
}, warning = function(w) {
w ->> w
}) -> res
In this example the object w created in parent environment would be:
>> w
<simpleWarning in withCallingHandlers({ warning("hello") 1 + 2}, warning = function(w) { w <<- w}): hello>
You could then interrogate it:
grepl(x = w$message, pattern = "hello")
# [1] TRUE
as
>> w$message
# [1] "hello"
Object res would contain your desired results:
>> res
[1] 3
It's not the super tidy way but I reckon you could always reference object w and check if the warning message has the phrase you are interested in.

nError in importing signals with createAffyIntensityFile (GWASTools)

I am using the GWASTools package and I am facing an error to import my signal file. I tried to mimetize my real data set in the follow example:

snp.anno <- 'snpID chromosome position snpName

I used the probe Names with 'A' and 'B' pattern also, the error was the same:

In addition: Warning messages:

In my real dataset the error is slight different, but do not work anyway:
Error: length(snp.annotation$snpID) == length(unique(snp.annotation$snpID)) is not TRUE
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In .checkSnpAnnotation(snp.annotation) : NAs introduced by coercion

3: In .checkSnpAnnotation(snp.annotation) : NAs introduced by coercion
4: In .checkSnpAnnotation(snp.annotation) :
coerced chromosome to type integer
And the strange thing is that:
> length(snp.annotation$snpID) == length(unique(snp.annotation$snpID))
[1] TRUE
Thus, seems that the error is not in agreement with the command (to check if the length is the same). I am missing some important detail in the format of my inputs? I would be grateful for any help. Thank you!

What arguments were passed to the functions in the traceback?

In R, if execution stops because of an error, I can evaluate traceback() to see which function the error occurred in, which function was that function called from, etc. It'll give something like this:
8: ar.yw.default(x, aic = aic, order.max = order.max, na.action = na.action,
series = series, ...)
7: ar.yw(x, aic = aic, order.max = order.max, na.action = na.action,
series = series, ...)
6: ar(x[, i], aic = TRUE)
5: spectrum0.ar(x)
4: effectiveSize(x)
Is there a way to find what arguments were passed to these functions? In this case, I'd like to know what arguments were passed to effectiveSize(), i.e. what is x.
The error does not occur in my own code, but in a package function. Being new to R, I'm a bit lost.
Not knowing how to do this properly, I tried to find the package function's definition and modify it, but where the source file should be I only find an .rdb file. I assume this is something byte-compiled.
I'd suggest setting options(error=recover) and then running the offending code again. This time, when an error is encountered, you'll be thrown into an interactive debugging environment in which you are offered a choice of frames to investigate. It will look much like what traceback() gives you, except that you can type 7 to enter the evaluation environment of call 7 on the call stack. Typing ls() once you've entered a frame will give you the list of its arguments.
An example (based on that in ?traceback) is probably the best way to show this:
foo <- function(x) { print(1); bar(2) }
bar <- function(x) { x + a.variable.which.does.not.exist }
## First with traceback()
foo(2) # gives a strange error
# [1] 1
# Error in bar(2) : object 'a.variable.which.does.not.exist' not found
traceback()
# 2: bar(2) at #1
# 1: foo(2)
## Then with options(error=recover)
options(error=recover)
foo(2)
# [1] 1
# Error in bar(2) : object 'a.variable.which.does.not.exist' not found
#
# Enter a frame number, or 0 to exit
#
# 1: foo(2)
# 2: #1: bar(2)
Selection: 1
# Called from: top level
Browse[1]> ls()
# [1] "x"
Browse[1]> x
# [1] 2
Browse[1]> ## Just press return here to go back to the numbered list of envts.
#
# Enter a frame number, or 0 to exit
#
# 1: foo(2)
# 2: #1: bar(2)
R has many helpful debugging tools, most of which are discussed in the answers to this SO question from a few years back.
You can use trace() to tag or label a function as requiring a "detour" to another function, the logical choice being browser().
?trace
?browser
> trace(mean)
> mean(1:4)
trace: mean(1:4)
[1] 2.5
So that just displayed the call. This next mini-session shows trace actually detouring into the browser:
> trace(mean, browser)
Tracing function "mean" in package "base"
[1] "mean"
> mean(1:4)
Tracing mean(1:4) on entry
Called from: eval(expr, envir, enclos)
Browse[1]> x #once in the browser you can see what values are there
[1] 1 2 3 4
Browse[1]>
[1] 2.5
> untrace(mean)
Untracing function "mean" in package "base"
As far as seeing what is in a function, if it is exported, you can simply type its name at the console. If it is not exported then use: getAnywhere(fn_name)
