Replacement error in PermTest

Hello,

I was trying to run a permutation test with the regioneR package these days but I keep getting the same error:

Error in if (alternative == "less" & orig.ev > mean(rand.ev, na.rm = TRUE)) message("Alternative is less and the observed statistic is greater than the permuted statistic mean. Maybe you want to use recomputePermTest to change the alternative hypothesis.") : 
  missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In mclapply(c(1:ntimes), randomize_and_evaluate, ...) :
  all scheduled cores encountered errors in user code
2: In mean.default(rand.ev, na.rm = TRUE) :
  argument is not numeric or logical: returning NA
3: In mean.default(rand.ev, na.rm = TRUE) :
  argument is not numeric or logical: returning NA

So I understand from a previous post here (https://support.bioconductor.org/p/95141/) that I have some character in my tables and that's why the rand.ev function is not "numeric or logical". When I follow the suggestions of the post and set force.parallel to False I get this:

Error in `$<-.data.frame`(`*tmp*`, "start", value = numeric(0)) : 
  replacement has 0 rows, data has 51

I've checked the bed files but no extra character had slipped so I don't get why rand.ev is NA then. Any Idea of what might be driving the error?

Thank you in advance,

Data Both my bed files have this structure:

chr1 1179385 1179385 chr1 11858584 11858584 chr1 11859390 11859390

Code

one <- import("one.bed")
two <- import("two.bed")

pt1 <- permTest(A=one, B=two, ntimes=10,
                randomize.function=circularRandomizeRegions, alternative = "less",
                evaluate.function=numOverlaps, force.parallel = FALSE)

Hi Alejandro,

Can you check the size of the segments in "one"? I assume you are trying to represent segments of length 1, but BED is a 0-based format and you are representing segments of width 0. What's the output of width(one)?

I think this might be at least part of the problem

Hi,

Thank you for the reply. Managed to make it work, it was indeed a problem with the SNPs bed file (one) being 1-based even if it was a bed file. Took me some time to realize because I was convinced I had processed it properly before in the work pipeline, but apparently I missed it. So I just changed import and used this instead:

one <- read_table2("one")
one <- as.data.frame(one)
one <- toGRanges(one)

I should have noticed before, silly error. Thank you for the help!

Alejandro

Great :) Glad it worked in the end. I've been bitten by this more than once!
