I'm an absolute beginner with R and neophite in data analysis, so please bear with me if I ask stupid question. I'm trying to do a correspondence analysis using R and MASS corresp function, but I get an error message which I'm unable to interpret: data(weblog)
Try read.table(filename, sep=";", header=TRUE) instead of data(weblog). I guess the file is not read in correctly (?).
I get another error with this method:
corresp(~ url + fromurl, data=log)
Error in svd(t(t(x1 * Dr) * Dc)) : error 34 in dsvdc (not that this is easier to fix...)
library(MASS) corresp(~ url + fromurl, data=weblog)
Error in svd(t(t(x1 * Dr) * Dc)) : error 306 in dsvdc
Works for me, so I think it is the way you read in the data. Have you checked, if the data.frame weblog looks OK in R?
It does, as far as I can tell. The file has no empty fields, only qualitative variables... I tried to suppress some lines in the file, and finally reached the point where deleting the last line would get the thing running. So I thought Ahaa, there you are, however the line itself has nothing special. And replacing it with another line from somewhere earlier in the file would break things again. If anyone wants to help me, I can send the file (it's only 2.3K gzipped).
[Assuming you are running R-1.1.1 and the latest MASS package]
I am : I installed R on a Redhat 6.2 box with latest RPM from CRAN, and MASS from VR_6.2-1.tar.gz Alexandre Fayolle
