dear R developers:
May I suggest that you enhance the error message:
Error in "[<-"(`*tmp*`, , curcol, value = c(0.0198881080712288,
0.00889721376726782, :
number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length
with information about why this is the case? For example,
number of items to replace (dimensions: x,y,z) is not a multiple of
replacement length (dimension x,y)
I just spent some time to figure out that a row-vector was not a
col-vector in context here. in fact, this may warrant a special note
("you cannot replace a col-vector of length x with a row-vector of
length y").
just a suggestion...
regards,
