'group' must be a factor of length, from plotDiablo

I am getting an error:

**Error in .get.group(group, object, n_ind) : **
’group’ must be a factor of length 43

When running the following code


plotDiablo(diablo.final, ncomp = ncomp, group = Yvec
           , col.per.group = c("#4575B4", "#D73027") ) 

The Vector Yvec is length 43:

The X matrices are:

Does anyone have any idea of the circumstance that causes this error ?

G’day. It’s a bit tricky to diagnose your issue without any context but I’ll see what I can do. If you’re familiar with the use of breakpoints, I’d suggest placing one on line 74 of plotDiablo() and assessing what is being input into the .get.cols.and.groups() function.

Would you mind showing the sample names for each input block? A mismatch between names(Y) and the names of each predictor data frame may be the cause

I will try this. is there a way for me to attach a saved environment and I will attach one with the Y and X$… and you can see.
