How to Fix the 'object 'data1' not found' Error in R Simulation Study Function Using Proper Data Frame Assignment and Reference
Understanding the Error in eval(model$call$data) Error in eval(model$call$data): object ‘data1’ not found In this blog post, we’ll explore an error that occurs when trying to execute a simulation study using R. The issue arises from a mismatch between how data is passed to the lm() function and how it’s referenced later in the code.
Background: Understanding the Simulation Study Function The given simulation study function is as follows:
simulation <- function(n, method, process, bsd) { # Initialize matrices M and U M <- matrix(1:(10*n), nrow=n, ncol=10) U <- matrix(data=NA, nrow=5, ncol=1) for (i in 1:5) { if (process=='1') { # Process data generation for (j in 1:10) { M[,j] <- runif(n, min=0, max=5*j) } epsilon <- rnorm(n, mean=0, sd=bsd) y <- 1*M[,2] + 2.
