Hello, Beginner, sorry if this is wasting anyone's time, but have been working on this for a couple of days now, think it should have take a few hours!
The Problem: Error in Summary.factor(c(1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 4L, : max not meaningful for factors I have tried to re-arrange and check formula. I am working in SIAR, and cannot get model1 to run because of the error code below. Is this because of the first column being names? How do I rename the columns and to what? Below is the code and data frames with some omissions of values. In the middle is the model I am trying to run, which returns with the error code above. > data pond d13C d15N 1 A3 -2.07 6.06 2 F4 -2.39 1.3 3 K3 -2.11 1.70 > tef tefsources tefMeand13C tefSDd13C tefMeand15N tefSDd15N 1 Copepoda 0.4 1.3 3.4 0.99 2 Algal Paste 0.4 1.3 3.4 0.99 3 Amphipoda 0.4 1.3 3.4 0.99 > model1 <- siarmcmcdirichletv4(data, source, tef, concdep = 0, > iterations=500000, burnin=50000, howmany=50000, thinby=15, prior = rep(1, > nrow(sources)), siardata=list(SHOULDRUN=FALSE)) Error in Summary.factor(c(1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 4L, : max not meaningful for factors* > source sources Meand13C SDd13C Meand15N SDd15N 1 2 2 2 2 2 > str(data) 'data.frame': 101 obs. of 3 variables: $ pond: Factor w/ 6 levels "A3","A5","A7",..: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ... $ d13C: num -22.1 -20.4 ... $ d15N: num 16.1 17.1 ... > str(source) 'data.frame': 18 obs. of 5 variables: $ sources : Factor w/ 18 levels "Algal Paste",..: 8 1 2 3 4 5 7 9 10 6 ... $ Meand13C: num -26.6 -20.4 ... $ SDd13C : num 1.78 4.01 1.46 ... $ Meand15N: num 15.55 9.58 14.07 $ SDd15N : num 1.77 1.34 1.66 'data.frame': 18 obs. of 5 variables: $ tefsources : Factor w/ 18 levels "Algal Paste",..: 8 1 2 3 4 5 7 9 10 6 ... $ tefMeand13C: num 0.4 0.4 ... $ tefSDd13C : num 1.3 1.3 ... $ tefMeand15N: num 3.4 3.4 ... $ tefSDd15N : num 0.99 0.99 ... It looks like a problem with the pond column of the first data frame (data).. I am still trying to fix this but need some outside help! Many thanks.
