[Bioc-devel] R: DaMiRseq in ERROR in the stable release

[Mattia Chiesa]

Dear all,
we looked at the traceback():

7: array(STATS, dims[perm])
6: aperm(array(STATS, dims[perm]), order(perm))
5: sweep(WW[, 1:opt.comp], 2, Q2TT, "*")
4: apply(sweep(WW[, 1:opt.comp], 2, Q2TT, "*"), 1, sum)
3: VIP(pls.fit, opt.comp = opt.comp)
2: bve_pls(df$class, as.matrix(data), ncomp = num_PC, VIP.threshold = th.VIP)
1: DaMiR.FSelect(data_clean<http://data_clean.mx>, df = df, th.corr = 0.6)

and it seems that the problem is the forth point (apply(sweep(WW[, 1:opt.comp], 2, Q2TT, "*"), 1, sum) when opt.comp = 1.
​In this case, WW is a object with NULL dimensions (it is not a matrix anymore), which gives problems to 'sweep()' function (it needs a matrix with at least 1 column). We have already advised the authors and suggested them a possible solution (i.e. WW[, 1:opt.comp, drop=FALSE]) that can fix this bug.
Notably, this happens only with 'plsVarSel  version = 0.9.2' (released on November 11th ,2017 !!!), which embeds the modified "filter.R" source code, but not with the previous ones.
For this reason,  in the meantime, we would modify the DESCRIPTION file (both in devel and RELEASE 3_6), forcing the usage of 'plsVarSel  version = 0.9.1'.

Mattia

Another place to start is to simply reproduce the error on your own
system. Usually this requires running the version of R and Bioconductor
on the build system (noted at the top of the multi-platform build /
check report page), and making sure that dependencies are current, e.g.,
by BiocInstaller::biocValid().

For vignettes, it can be helpful to 'Stangle' them and step through the
R code chunks in the resulting file

   R CMD Stangle DaMiRseq.Rnw
