Hello, I am stuck trying to run an analysis using the package picante. I am running two very similar analyses. One works as expected, but when I try the other, I get the error:
Error in data.frame(PD = PDs, SR = SR) : arguments imply differing number of rows: 34, 35 This is strange to me since the data matrix is the same for both analyses (numbers of rows and columns are the same; the only difference is the order of the columns). Each analyses requires a phylogenetic tree (.tre file), and each tree is very similar. Any thoughts as to what's causing this problem? The problem may be specific to the function I'm using [pd()], but since the error is a data.frame error I thought I'd ask here. Here is the code I'm using: This works: phyl_tree <- read.nexus("phyl.tre") phyl_data <- as.matrix(read.table("phyl_matrix.txt"), header=TRUE, sep = "\t") pd.result <- pd(phyl_data, phyl_tree, include.root = TRUE) This fails (this matrix.txt file is the same as above, except that columns are ordered to match the tree; I have also used the above matrix.txt file) chem_tree <- read.nexus("chem.tre") chem_data <- as.matrix(read.table("chem_matrix.txt"), header=TRUE, sep = "\t") pd_chem.result <- pd(chem_data, chem_tree, include.root = TRUE) ERROR: Error in data.frame(PD = PDs, SR = SR) : arguments imply differing number of rows: 34, 35 To illustrate that the data for each run are very similar (row and column names are also the same in both data files): > phyl_tree Phylogenetic tree with 9 tips and 7 internal nodes.
