Common Issues : F Matrix • phytoclass

non-conformable arguments

Error in Fn %*% t(S) : non-conformable arguments

This error can mean there is some disagreement between the S and F matricies.

non-numeric argument to binary operator

non-numeric argument to binary operator

This error can mean that the F matrix has extra columns that should not be there. * ref

x needs two+ dimensions

‘x’ must be an array of at least two dimension

subscript out of bounds:

Error in x[subset & !is.na(subset), vars, drop = drop] : subscript out of bounds

https://github.com/phytoclass/phytoclass/issues/12

This error can happen when the sample names are included in the S matrix. Current version of phytoclass does not support sample names.

‘x’ must be numeric

Error in rowSums(Fmat) : ‘x’ must be numeric

This can mean that the F matrix has a numeric index (1,2,3,etc) column that must be removed. This is sometimes introduced by read.csv or readRDS. A workaround for this:

# === remove numeric rownames introduced by read.csv
if (all(grepl("^[0-9]+$", rownames(F_matrix)))) {
  print("dropping unneeded numeric index")
  # Set the first column as row names
  rownames(F_matrix) <- F_matrix[[1]]
  
  # Remove the first column
  F_matrix <- F_matrix[, -1] 
}
