Checking on the function 'combinations' in gplot i find this:
if (mode(n) != "numeric" || length(n) != 1 || n < 1 || (n%%1) !=
0)
stop("bad value of n")
So essentially, the argument 'length(data$times[data$ids == id[1]])' in the
line
'combinations(length(data$times[data$ids == id[1]]), 2)' does not meet one
of those four conditions. That's as much as i can tell you without some kind
of reproducible code.
