Hi Jim,

Thank you for the message!  Yes, you are right, I contacted Dr. Xu Zongli,  he said he removed the ComBat.mc function from the new version.

Hi Yuan,
The package named "Enmix" is maintained on Bioconductor. It seems to be specific to particular lab equipment and so all I can advise is:

1) Try your question on the Bioconductor help list
2) If no help there contact Zongli Xu (the maintainer)

Hi All,

I am very sorry to bother you.

This week, I updated my R from 3.5.3  to 4.0.3, reinstalled all required R packages  and reran the following R code;  then got the following error: could not find function "ComBat.mc".

> Mvals.ComBat1 <- ComBat.mc(Mvals1, batch = pData(WB.noob)$Array,nCores = detectCores()-1)
Error in ComBat.mc(Mvals1, batch = pData(WB.noob)$Array, nCores = detectCores() -  :
  could not find function "ComBat.mc"

I have successfully run the same R code with same data sets several times since 2017.  Google searching tells me that this ComBat.mc function is from an R package "Enmix".  When typing library(Enmix), no error message, so the Enmix library is installed.  Can you tell me why I got this error after updating to new R version?

Thank you,

Yuan Chun Ding
