Error running PCA in FactoShiny

[François-Camille Grolleau]

Dear all,

I watched all François Husson videos on PCA and its implementation in FactoShiny. That's stellar content! Thank you very much for this.

I am having trouble making the shiny app work on my system, however. For all analyses (e.g., clustering, correspondence analysis, etc.) the app seems to run fine but for PCA after I click the RUN button, I always get the error message below.

As suggested in a previous posted I updated all the packages (i.e., FactoMineR, Factoshiny, FactoInvestigate) and Xquartz but I still encounter the same error.

Below are details on my software configuration and the simplest form of the code I ran.

I’d be very grateful for any help on this,
Thank you for this great work!

François,

- MacOS 11.1
- XQuartz 2.8.1 (latest version)
- R 4.0.5 (2021-03-31) (latest version)

Dear Francois,

Your error is very strange because you have the last version of R (is it this last version taht is used in Rstudio), and the last version of the packages.
I have never seen this error.
If you use Rstudio, you have to click on the "Run" button, and not on the "source" button.

Tell me if you have always the error.
François

Thank you very much for the speed reply!!

I checked and was using running the last version of R in R studio (4.0.5), clicking the run button (the same error occurs when clicking the source button). I also tried to use Factoshiny directly from R as in the image below. The Factoshiny interface opens OK in a webpage and after I click Run in the PCA section, I encounter the same error as before.

I’m surprised that other than PCA, all analyses (e.g., clustering, etc..) seem to work just fine.

I’m happy with any advice you can provide with respect to this,

Have a great one,

François
