Re: [R] Query about using try block

2007-01-22 Thread lalitha viswanath
Hi
Thanks for your response.
However I seem to be doing something wrong regarding
the try block resulting in yet another error described
below.

I have a function that takes in a file name and
does the fit for the data in that file.
Hence based on your input, I tried

try ( (fit = lm(y~x, data = data_fitting)), silent =
T);


I left the subsequent lines of my code unchanged.
coeffs = as.list(coef(fit);
lambda = exp(coeffs$x)

After the change using try, when I tried to resume
processing under R as follows
source(fitting.R)
for filename in list { process(filename); }
It says Cannot find object fit ...(in the line
trying to get the coefficients...)

Am I closing the try block in the wrong place?
This function does some post processing on the
coefficients returned by coef(fit), puts them in a
list and sends it to another function.
(i.e. around 6 lines of code after the call to fit).
Thanks

 Look at ?try
 
 Your code will probably need to be something like
 the following:
 
 fit - list()
 for(fileId in 1:n){
try(fit[i] - lm(formula,data=???,...), silent=F)
#or silent=T if you would like to be made aware
 of problems
 }
 
 Best wishes,

Re: [R] Query about using try block

2007-01-22 Thread talepanda
Usually (that is, not limited in R language), when error occurs in
try, stacks are rollbacked, so the variables defined in try no longer
exists after calling try.

One non-elegant solution is:

fit-NULL
try ( (fit = lm(y~x, data = data_fitting)), silent =T)
if(!is.null(fit)){
coeffs = as.list(coef(fit))
## other subsequent processes
}
