Hi there, I am new to R and feel so bloody stupid. Abut in spite of a search of several hrs I could not find an answer to my problem. I have imported SPSS data to R, and apart from some warnings regarding duplicate labels, everything looks fine and names lists all my variables. Then I try to run a seqdef command - and get the error message below:> fam.seq<- seqdef(family_seq, var= c ("fseq2_15", "fseq2_16", > "fseq2_17","fseq2_18"," fseq2_19","fseq2_20","fseq2_21",+ "fseq2_22", "fseq2_23","fseq2_24", "fseq2_25", "fseq2_26","fseq2_27","fseq2_28", "fseq2_29","fseq2_30", "fseq2_31", "fseq2_32","fseq2_33", + "fseq2_34", "fseq2_35","fseq2_36", "fseq2_37", "fseq2_38","fseq2_39","fseq2_40", "fseq2_41","fseq2_42", "fseq2_43", "fseq2_44","fseq2_45", + "fseq2_46", "fseq2_47","fseq2_48", "fseq2_49", "fseq2_50"), + alphabet =c("1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8"),labels=c("not left-never married-no children","not left -never married - at least 1 child","not left -has married-no children" , "not left - has married - at least 1 child","left - never married- no children" , "left - never married - at least 1 child","left - has married - no children" , "left - has married - at least 1 child")) Error in subset.default(data, , var) : element 1 is empty; the part of the args list of 'is.logical' being evaluated was: (subset) I understand that the problem seems to be with the list of variables I use to define what my sequences are. I tried changing lots of things but nothing helped. Have I skipped an important step? Many thanks for your help (I have to sleep now). nomis -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/error-message-in-endseq-tp1555607p1555607.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
