Problem: I keep getting: "Error in (index - 9):index : argument of length 0" when I run this code in an automated loop, but when I step through it by hand, I have no problems. It keep crashing when i<-10. I cannot figure this out to save my life! Please help and THANK YOU in advance!
variables: FM100 is a matrix of columns: year, day (all years set to 366 days), region 1, region 2... region N columnID <- region # +2 numberFires is the number of fires that occurred in the region (the code assures there are more than 0 fires) years is a vector of fire years as pertains to each fire counted in numberFires explanatory.variables$DOY is a vector of Day-of-Year for each fires start day code: #Read FM100 file if (REGION_SCALE == "psa"){FM100<-read.csv("climaggregates/fm100_psa.csv", header=FALSE,col.names=c("year","day",psa$OBJECTID))} if (REGION_SCALE == "ecosection"){FM100<-read.csv("climaggregates/fm100_ecp.csv", header=FALSE,col.names=c("year","day",ecosection$OBJECTID))} for (i in 1:numberFires){ index_yr<-which(FM100$year==years[i]) # file default 366 days/year w/ Feb 29 set to NAN, but DOY accounts for leap years when # assigning Day-of-year for mm-dd-yyyy if (years[i]%%4 != 0) {index_day<-explanatory.variables$DOY[i]+1} if (years[i]%%4 == 0) {index_day<-explanatory.variables$DOY[i]} index<-index_yr[index_day] # 10 day antecedent FM100 average explanatory.variables$FM100[i]<-mean(FM100[(index-9):index,columnID]) } rm(FM100) print("FM100 variables created") What's in each variable: > numberFires [1] 73 > index_yr 6955 6956 6957 6958 6959 6960 6961 6962 6963 6964 6965 6966 6967 6968 6969 6970 6971 6972 6973 6974 6975 6976 6977 ....
