Hi, I'm trying to cast() some data, but keep on getting the following error...
> norm.all.melted.height <- transform(all.melted.height, + norm.height = value / ave(value, SNP, Pool, FUN = max) + ) Warning messages: 1: In FUN(X[[147L]], ...) : no non-missing arguments to max; returning -Inf 2: In FUN(X[[147L]], ...) : no non-missing arguments to max; returning -Inf 3: In FUN(X[[147L]], ...) : no non-missing arguments to max; returning -Inf > norm.all.melted.height <- subset(norm.all.melted.height, > select=c("Sample.Name", "SNP", "Pool", "variable", "norm.height")) > names(norm.all.melted.height) <- c("Sample.Name", "SNP", "Pool", "variable", > "value") > > ## Now reshape the data > normalised <- cast(norm.all.melted.height, Sample.Name + SNP + Pool ~ value, > sum) Error in rep.int(rep.int(seq_len(nx), rep.int(rep.fac, nx)), orep) : negative length vectors are not allowed Is the error thats occuring with cast() likely to be caused by the previous warnings? As far as I can work out rep.int() is called to expand the data based on the grouping specified (in this case the left hand portion of the cast formula, i.e. Sample.Name + SNP + Pool), but how would there be a negative index in this data? I had previously melted the data into this format. Apologies for not providing a reproducible example, I suspect the problem lies within the data structure I'm using.
