error calculating with rcorr() function
Opened this issue · 2 comments
Hi,
I'm using the rcorr() example from "Package ‘Hmisc’" from November 7, 2019
if I'm trying the published example, everything ist ok. But if I want to calculate the correlation matrix for columns x and y the, I'm getting an error message. (see below)
x <- c(-2, -1, 0, 1, 2)
y <- c(4, 1, 0, 1, 4)
z <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, NA)
v <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
rcorr(cbind(x,y))
> Error in matrix(rnorm(n * d), n, d) : invalid 'nrow' value (< 0)
Further issues:
I've written an Code in R, with rcorr() to calculate a big correlation matrix. Last time it was working was around May 2019.
Recently I tried rerunning the code and I was getting this error message:
Error in rcorr(as.matrix(o_w_CSD_KSS), type = "pearson") :
unused argument (type = "pearson")
Another error message relating to rcorr():
I was learning some statistics from another example and got something like this. (dataset is coming from: https://studysites.uk.sagepub.com/dsur/study/articles.htm under chapter 6.
examData <- read.delim("Exam Anxiety.dat", header = TRUE)
# computing p-values of correlation coefficients
examMatrix<-as.matrix(examData[, c("Exam", "Anxiety")])
rcorr(examMatrix)

Hi,
I'm using R3.6.1 and I have just installed Hmisc. The reported version is 4.3.0 in my Windows installation. I tried your first example and got a correct answer. I think you should update to the last version of Hmisc and retry from a clean and empty environment. In my test, I don't have that many packages loaded.
Best.

Hi SamGG,
Thank you for your fast reply.
Apparently the problem came from different packages I had loaded. Your hint to provide a clean environment helped me.
