I run the same commands on the same data in Rstudio in Windows and Linux, but I get different results in step removing batch effect using “Combat” function (sva package). Running “Combat” on Windows is error-free, while on Linux I get the following error:

Error in ((dat - t(design %*% B.hat))^2) %*% rep(1/n.array, n.array) : 
requires numeric/complex matrix/vector arguments

Commands

    all <- read.delim("All.txt", header = T, row.names = 1) 
    allm <- all - rowMeans(all)
    pc <- prcomp(allm)
    Sets <- (c(rep("GSEx", 12), rep("GSExx", 12), rep("GSExxx", 9), rep("GSExxxx", 13)))
    pcr <- data.frame(pc$r[,1:3], Sets)
    allc <- ComBat(all, Sets)

how can solve this problem?

Thanks for your helps

Thanks for posting the reproducible data. Using this data, the command runs okay here on Linux:

allc <- sva::ComBat(all, Sets)

Perhaps you can show the output of your sessionInfo()? - here is mine:
