Error Message in R: incorrect number of dimensions (2 Examples)
In this tutorial, I’ll illustrate how to handle the error message “incorrect number of dimensions” in the R programming language.
Creation of Exemplifying Data
data(iris) # Example data head(iris) # Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species # 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 setosa # 2 4.9 3.0 1.4 0.2 setosa # 3 4.7 3.2 1.3 0.2 setosa # 4 4.6 3.1 1.5 0.2 setosa # 5 5.0 3.6 1.4 0.2 setosa # 6 5.4 3.9 1.7 0.4 setosa |
data(iris) # Example data head(iris) # Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species # 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 setosa # 2 4.9 3.0 1.4 0.2 setosa # 3 4.7 3.2 1.3 0.2 setosa # 4 4.6 3.1 1.5 0.2 setosa # 5 5.0 3.6 1.4 0.2 setosa # 6 5.4 3.9 1.7 0.4 setosa
Example 1: Replicating the Error Message – incorrect number of dimensions
iris$Sepal.Length[2:5, 2:5] # Try to use two dimensions for vector # Error in iris$Sepal.Length[2:5, 2:5] : incorrect number of dimensions |
iris$Sepal.Length[2:5, 2:5] # Try to use two dimensions for vector # Error in iris$Sepal.Length[2:5, 2:5] : incorrect number of dimensions
Example 2: Solving the Error Message – incorrect number of dimensions
iris$Sepal.Length[2:5] # Vector has only one dimension |
iris$Sepal.Length[2:5] # Vector has only one dimension
