Error with assign.X

[6aherring]

Hi Alex,

I was hoping you would be able to help me with an error I'm getting when using assign.X please?
I am using non-genetic data only to try and assign my unknown individuals with the following code:
assign.X(Baselines, unknown, dir="Wavelet19/",
pca.method=TRUE, scaled = TRUE, model="randomForest")
But I receive the following error:
"Error in is.factor(x[, 1]) : object 'x' not found"
I have tried to look through the code for assign.X but I don't have enough experience in R to be able to understand it all. I have made sure the colnames for Baselines (x1) and unknown (x2) are the same apart from the pop column in x1, and they are both dataframes.
I ran older scripts, where assign.X has worked for me previously, but they are not working now. I have tried using different versions of R also, in response to the warning I got about the version of that assignPOP was built under, but this made no difference.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks,

Emma

Hi Emma,

Thanks for your report. I just updated the function assign.X in the current repository. Could you try to update your package from the Github repo and see if the error would disappear?

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,

Thanks for looking at the issue so quickly. I was trying over the last few days to install the updated version from github but I'm having difficulties with that.
Using install_github gives an error that Permission is denied. I also tried downloading the zip file from the github page and installing the package from the zip file, I can install the package to the correct directory but then when I go to use library(assignPOP) it says there is no package. I had a look in my directory and the file is called "assignPOP-master" so maybe this is why library() wouldn't work.
I'm really sorry about these issues I'm having, could you advise on these?
I really appreciate your help with assign.X.

Thanks,

Emma
