Hi,
I'm trying to melt() some data for subsequent cast()ing and am
encoutering errors.
The overall process requires a couple of casts()s and melt()s.

This is the format that I'm aiming for and everythings worked fine.
However, I wish to derive two transformed variables (polar.1 and
polar.2) based on each row of t.norm1 and then melt() and cast() the
data into the same desired format.
########Start Session 2##########
## Now generate polar co-ordinates
t.norm1$polar.1 <- log10(sqrt(t.norm1$Height.1^2 + t.norm1$Height.2^2))
t.norm1$polar.2 <- atan((t.norm1$Height.2 / t.norm1$Height.1))
## And cast the polar data> t <- melt(subset(t.norm1, select= c("Sample.Name",
"SNP", "Pool", "polar.1", "polar.2")),
id=c("Sample.Name", "SNP"))
Error in if (!missing(id.var) && !(id.var %in% varnames)) { :
missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed> traceback()
4: melt_check(data, id.var, measure.var)
3: melt.data.frame(as.data.frame(data), id = attr(data, "idvars"))
2: melt.cast_df(subset(t.norm1, select = c("Sample.Name",
"SNP",
"Pool", "polar.1", "polar.2")), id =
c("Sample.Name", "SNP"),
measure = c("polar.1", "polar.2"))
1: melt(subset(t.norm1, select = c("Sample.Name", "SNP",
"Pool",
"polar.1", "polar.2")), id =
c("Sample.Name", "SNP"), measure c("polar.1",
"polar.2"))
########Finish Session 2##########
As far as I can tell the error is occurring within melt_check() where
there is a check to see if the id.var is missing and whether the
id.var exists within the data frames names, both of which are true
since the subset() call works fine on its own...
########Start Session 3##########> test <- subset(t.norm1, select= c("Sample.Name",
"SNP", "Pool", "polar.1", "polar.2"))
> names(test)
[1] "Sample.Name" "SNP" "Pool"
"polar.1" "polar.2"
########Start Session 3##########
What I find particularly strange is that there isn't really any
difference between
########Session 1> t <- melt(t.norm1, id = c("Sample.Name",
"SNP"))
....and
########Session 2
t <- melt(subset(t.norm1, select= c("Sample.Name", "SNP",
"Pool",
"polar.1", "polar.2")), id=c("Sample.Name",
"SNP"))
..since I've done nothing to alter the "Sample.Name" and
"SNP"
columns, all thats changing is the names of the two columns that are
the measure.var which in this instance is everything thats not defined
as being and id.var in the call to melt().
If anyone can provide any insight to what I'm doing wrong I'd be very
grateful.
Thanks,
Neil
