R Error: non-conformable arguments (2 Examples)

In this tutorial you’ll learn how to deal with the error message “non-conformable arguments” in R programming.

Creating Exemplifying Data

data_1 <- matrix(5)               # Create example data in R
data_1
#      [,1]
# [1,]    5
data_2 <- matrix(1:9, ncol = 3)
data_2
#      [,1] [,2] [,3]
# [1,]    1    4    7
# [2,]    2    5    8
# [3,]    3    6    9

Example 1: Replicate Error: non-conformable arguments

data_1 %*% data_2                 # Trying to multiply data objects
# Error in data_1 %*% data_2 : non-conformable arguments

Example 2: Solve Error: non-conformable arguments

as.vector(data_1) * data_2        # Converting m1 to vector
#      [,1] [,2] [,3]
# [1,]    5   20   35
# [2,]   10   25   40
# [3,]   15   30   45
