base::get function got object not found error ONLY under R CMD check R-package --as-cran - r

The following code works perfectly well if called by source command. It is part of a function where xgb.metric.label is a formal parameter that at run time can be valorized with values like "rmsle". bst.cv is a data.table.
lab = paste('test.',xgb.metric.label,'.mean',sep='')
bst.cv = xgboost::xgb.cv(param=param, data = data, label = y,
nfold = nfold, nrounds=cv.nround , folds = foldList,
feval = xgb.metric.fun , maximize = xgb.maximize, verbose=FALSE)
if (verbose) print(bst.cv)
early.stop = which(bst.cv[,get(lab)] == bst.cv[,min(get(lab))] )
On the contrary when I call such a code by R CMD check R-package --as-cran I got the following error Error in get(lab) : object 'test.rmsle.mean' not found. But from the standard output I can see perfectly well test.rmsle.mean exists.

I tried to call all the related libraries a line before the error, but without success.

library(methods)
I also added these libraries in the imports section of DESCRIPTION file. Again, without success.
Imports:
parallel,
subselect,
plyr,

Why are you using get at all?
There is no need to incur the overhead....

Error knitting in R when calling stata in R

When I was calling Stata from R, the code ran smoothly but it does not allow me to knit the document and return an error message like this :
statacode = "
use /home/ARE/EAWE21
reg EARNINGS S
n = length(EARNINGS)
total_SS = sum(( EARNINGS- mean(EARNINGS))^2)
total_MS = total_SS/(n-1)
total_MS"
stata(statacode)
this is what happen when I put library(RStata)

R: Parsing boolean command line argument in using argparse

I am using "argparse" library in R for command line arguments.
# Create parser
parser = ArgumentParser(description='command line args')
# Add command line arguments
parser$add_argument("is_local", nargs='?', type="logical",
help="whether to use local or server path", default=FALSE)
parser$add_argument("alert", nargs='?', type="double",
help="alert threshold", default=0.99)
I am trying to call it on command line such as:
Rscript my_func.R TRUE 0.99
However boolean argument does not change. Any idea how to parse boolean argument in R?
Thanks!
I don't know R, but the description of this package says it's a wrapper for the Python argparse.
I would recommend changing these:
parser$add_argument("is_local", nargs='?', type="logical",
help="whether to use local or server path", default=FALSE)
parser$add_argument("alert", nargs='?', type="double",
help="alert threshold", default=0.99)
to
parser$add_argument("--local", action='store_true'),
help="whether to use local or server path")
parser$add_argument("--alert", type="double",
help="alert threshold", default=0.99)
which would be called with
Rscript my_func.R --local --alert 0.99
store_true is illustrated on the basic docs page, https://github.com/trevorld/r-argparse
If I read the R correctly, your is_local should be giving you a warning
"You almost certainly want to use action='store_true' or action='store_false' instead"
A store_true argument sets the attribute to TRUE if present, and the default FALSE if absent. It should be an optional (--) and not set the nargs.
(It is possible to have an argument that takes strings 'true' and 'false' (or any other pair in your native language) and converts them to logical values, but requires more coding.)
I made --alert a flagged argument as well, without the nargs. Its value will be the default if absent, and the convert the string to a double if provided. It could be a '?' positional, but while learning I think it's best to stick with optionals unless you want the argument to be required.
The R-argparse docs aren't very complete. You may need to refer to the Python docs, and experiment to get the translation right.
https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html
Thanks for your time and help!
I would like to share my workaround for the problem as I find original argparse (action) usage a bit complicated.
# Convert str input to boolean
str2bool = function(input_str)
{
if(input_str == "0")
{
input_str = FALSE
}
else if(input_str == "1")
{
input_str = TRUE
}
return(input_str)
}
# Create parser
parser = ArgumentParser(description='command line args')
# Add command line arguments
parser$add_argument("is_local", nargs='?', type="character",
help="whether to use local or server path", default="1")
parser$add_argument("alert", nargs='?', type="double",
help="alert threshold", default=0.99)
# Parse arguments
args = parser$parse_args()
# Convert str arguments
args$is_local = str2bool(args$is_local)
# Call on CMD line
Rscript my_func.R 1 0.99 #equivalent Rscript my_func.R TRUE 0.99
Rscript my_func.R 0 0.99 #equivalent Rscript my_func.R FALSE 0.99
Below is the sample example given in the official docs of package argparse:
parser <- ArgumentParser(description='Process some integers')
parser$add_argument('integers', metavar='N', type="integer", nargs='+',
help='an integer for the accumulator')
parser$add_argument('--sum', dest='accumulate', action='store_const',
const='sum', default='max',
help='sum the integers (default: find the max)')
parser$print_help()
# default args for ArgumentParser()$parse_args are commandArgs(TRUE)
# which is what you'd want for an Rscript but not for interactive use
args <- parser$parse_args(c("--sum", "1", "2", "3"))
accumulate_fn <- get(args$accumulate)
print(accumulate_fn(args$integers))
Here is the link for the argparse pdf https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/argparse/argparse.pdf
I hope it might help.

Evaluating strings in Julia_Eval for diffeqr solver

I am trying to evaluate strings within a for loop within an R script using JuliaCall::julia_eval. While I was able to accomplish this in R using the deSolve package, I am running into issues when converting the code to one that is compatible with Julia. The base code for the correctly functioning R deSolve code is shown below.
library(deSolve)
library(dplyr)
Combine <- c(" - 1*0.4545*(H2O2^1) - 1*27000000*(`$OH`^1)*(H2O2^1)", " - 1*3100000000*(`1,4-dioxane`^1)*(`$OH`^1)",
" - 1*33000*(TOC^1)*(`$OH`^1)", "2*0.4545*(H2O2^1) - 1*3100000000*(`1,4-dioxane`^1)*(`$OH`^1) - 1*33000*(TOC^1)*(`$OH`^1) - 1*27000000*(`$OH`^1)*(H2O2^1) - 1*8500000*(`$OH`^1)*(`HCO3-`^1) - 1*390000000*(`$OH`^1)*(`CO3 2-`^1)",
" - 1*8500000*(`$OH`^1)*(`HCO3-`^1)", " - 1*390000000*(`$OH`^1)*(`CO3 2-`^1)"
)
time <- seq(from=0, to=0.01, by = 1E-4)
State <- c(H2O2 = 0.000294117647058824, `1,4-dioxane` = 0.00000113494,
TOC = 0, `$OH` = 0, `HCO3-` = 0.003766104, `CO3 2-` = 0.0000167638711956647)
ODEcreater2 <- function(t, state, parameters){
with(as.list(c(state)),{
for (i in 1:6) { #
dY[i] <- eval(parse(text=Combine[i]))}
return(list(dY))
} )}
out1<- ode(y = state, times = time, func = ODEcreater2, parms = NULL)
I am trying to use replicate the code and run it in Julia to improve the speed of the ODE solver by using diffeqr vs. deSolve. Unfortunately, I am running into evaluating the string/expression within a for loop in julia_call.
library(diffeqr)
diffeqr::diffeq_setup()
library(JuliaCall)
julia <- julia_setup()
ODEcreater <- JuliaCall::julia_eval("
function (dY,t,state)
for i in 1:6
dY[i] = eval(Meta.parse(:Combine[i]))
end
end")
tspan <- list(1E-6, 1E-3)
sol = diffeqr::ode.solve(ODEcreater,state,tspan, abstol=1e-8, reltol=1e-8)
Does anyone have any insight into the best way to evaluate the strings within the for loop? I have been investigating metaexpressions on the JuliaLang website but am still lost.
As mentioned in the duplicate question https://stackoverflow.com/a/58766919/1544203 , building the string and then doing
sprintf("function f(du,u,p,t)\n%s\nend", paste(Combine, collapse="\n"))
from the R side builds a single string which matches the format that works. This is also optimal since it excludes any extra function calls from the generated function.
from julia docs:
parse(str; raise=true, depwarn=true)
Parse the expression string greedily, returning a single expression. An error is thrown if there are additional
characters after the first expression. If raise is true (default), syntax errors will raise an error; otherwise, parse
will return an expression that will raise an error upon evaluation. If depwarn is false, deprecation warnings will be
suppressed.
julia> Meta.parse("x = 3")
:(x = 3)
so, Meta.parse accepts a string and returns an expression. this should evaluate correctly:
eval(Meta.parse(Combine[i]))
one problem i see is the use of non-valid julia variable names, like $OH

Unexpected symbol error in R that doesn't match my code

I am coding in R-studio and have a function called saveResults(). It takes:
sce - a Single Cell Experiment object.
opt - a list with five things
clusterLabels - simple dataframe with two columns
The important thing is that I receive an error stating:
Error: unexpected symbol in:
"saveResults(sce = sce, opt = opt, clusteInputs()
zhengMix"
which doesn't agree at all with the parameters I pass into the function. You can see this on the last line of the code block below: I pass in proper parameters, but I receive an error that says I have passed in clusteInputs(), and zhengMix instead of clusterLabels. I don't have a function called clusteInputs(), and zhengMix was several lines above.
# Save the clustering data
InstallAndLoadPackagesForSC3Clustering()
opt <- GetOptionInputs()
zhengMix <- FetchzhengMix(opt)
sce <- CreateSingleCellExperiment(zhengMix)
clusterLabels <- getClusterLabels(sce)
opt <- createNewDirectoriesToSaveData(opt)
saveResults <- function(sce, opt, clusterLabels){
print("Beginning process of saving results...")
maxClusters = ncol(clusterLabels)/2+1
for (n in 2:maxClusters){
savePCAasPDF(sce, opt, numOfClusters = n, clusterLabels)
saveClusterLabelsAsRDS(clusterLabels, numOfClusters = n, opt)
}
saveSilhouetteScores(sce, opt)
print("Done.")
}
saveResults(sce = sce, opt = opt, clusterLabels = clusterLabels)
Does anyone have an idea what is going on? I'm pretty stuck on this.
This isn't the best solution, but I fixed my own problem by removing the code out of the function and running it there caused no issues.

Error in running a Python code from R with the package rPithon

I would like to run this Python code from R:
>>> import nlmpy
>>> nlm = nlmpy.mpd(nRow=50, nCol=50, h=0.75)
>>> nlmpy.exportASCIIGrid("raster.asc", nlm)
Nlmpy is a Python package to build neutral landscape models. The example comes from the website
To run this Python code from R, I 'm trying to use the package rPithon. However, I obtain this error message:
if (pithon.available())
{

nCol <- 50
h <- 0.75
# this file contains the definition of function concat
pithon.load("C:/Users/Anaconda2/Lib/site-packages/nlmpy/nlmpy.py")
pithon.call( "mpd", nRow, nCol, h)
} else {
print("Unable to execute python")
}
Error in pithon.get("_r_call_return", instance.name = instname) :

Is this error caused by a syntax issue in my code ? I work with the Anaconda 4.2.0 platform for Windows which uses the Python 2.7 version.
I haven't used the nlmpy package hence, I am not sure what would be your expected output. However, this code successfully communicates between R and Python.
There are two files,
nlmpyInR.R
command ="python"
path2script="path_to_your_pythoncode/nlmpyInPython.py"
nRow <-50
nCol <-50
h <- 0.75
# Build up args in a vector
args = c(nRow, nCol, h)
# Add path to script as first arg
allArgs = c(path2script, args)
Routput = system2(command, args=allArgs, stdout=TRUE)
#The command would be python nlmpyInPython.py 50 50 0.75
print(paste("The Output is:\n", Routput))
nlmpyInPython.py
import sys
import nlmpy
#Getting the arguments from the command line call
nRow = sys.argv[1]
nCol = sys.argv[2]
h = sys.argv[3]
nlm = nlmpy.mpd(nRow, nCol, h)
pyhtonOutput = nlmpy.exportASCIIGrid("raster.asc", nlm)
#Whatever you print will get stored in the R's output variable.
print pyhtonOutput
The cause of the error that you're getting is hinted at by the
"is not JSON serializable" line. Your R code calls the mpd
function with certain arguments, and that function itself will
execute correctly. The rPithon library will then try to send the
return value of the function back to R, and to do this it will try
to create a JSON object
that describes the return value.
This works well for integers, floating point values, arrays, etc,
but not every kind of Python object can be converted to such a
JSON representation. And because rPithon can't convert the return value
of mpd this way, an error is generated.
You can still use rPithon to call the mpd function though. The following
code creates a new Python function that performs two steps: first
it calls the mpd function with the specified parameters, and then it
exports the result to a file, of which the filename is also an argument.
Using rPithon, the new function is then called from R. Because myFunction doesn't return anything, representing the return value in JSON format will not be a problem.
library("rPithon")
pythonCode = paste("import nlmpy.nlmpy as nlmpy",
"",
"def myFunction(nRow, nCol, h, fileName):",
" nlm = nlmpy.mpd(nRow, nCol, h)",
" nlmpy.exportASCIIGrid(fileName, nlm)",
sep = "\n")
pithon.exec(pythonCode)
nRow <- 50
nCol <- 50
h <- 0.75
pithon.call("myFunction", nRow, nCol, h, "outputraster.asc")
Here, the Python code defined as an R string, and executed using
pithon.exec. You could also put that Python code in a separate file
and use pithon.load to process the code so that the myFunction
function is known.
