[R] Problem with 'lars' package
Hello, I have problems with 'lars' package. I found the previous post of the person who had the same issue, but the suggested solution in that post did not help me. I created the matrices: ResponseMatrix - data.frame (GAOdecision=GAOdecision) PredictorsMatrix - data.frame (WeaponvsNon = WeaponvsNon, ProductvsService = ProductvsService, KDuration = KDuration, BusinessSize = BusinessSize, Bidders = Bidders, Staging = Staging, Criteria = Criteria, KPricing = KPricing, Political = Political) and then output - lars(PredictorsMatrix, ResponseMatrix) *Error in one %*% x : requires numeric/complex matrix/vector arguments* * * I did not create any variables x in my code. I also used rm(x) in the beginning of my code, but it did not help. I would really appreciate any help.

Also, your ResponeMatrix and PredictorsMatrix should be of type *matrix* not data.frame ... you can try to convert it with as.matrix(ResponseMatrix). You should then ensure that all values in your response and predictors matrix are numeric, ie: all(is.numeric(ResponseMatrix)), etc ... also check for odd values like NA, NaN or Inf. Lastly, consider using the glmnet package instead of lars. It provides a superset of the functionality from lars, and its core is written in fortran, so will likely be much faster and deal with larger problems. It's also more actively maintained (note a new version of glmnet was just released this week). -steve -- Steve Lianoglou Graduate Student: Computational Systems Biology | Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center | Weill Medical College of Cornell University Contact Info: http://cbio.mskcc.org/~lianos/contact __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

Well, you have not specified a library, hence the first one from
.libPaths() is used. You can probably ignore it if this is fine for you.

The CRAN master is unexpectedly unavailable as explained by Tal Galili.
This can be ignored, R tried to update the list of mirrors for you (from
the CRAN master).
When I actually try to run it, it gives me the following message:
Error: argument Gram is missing, with no default
You misspecified a function call,I guess. But hard to say what you did
without seeing the actual code.

What is the problem?
Thank you,
