Error in quantile.default(newX[, i], ...) : missing values and NaN's not allowed if 'na.rm' is FALSE

[ruwanepi]

Hello John,

Thanks very much to the team for updating the package, and the helpful R journal article. I have been successfully running the package until recently when I encountered this error, after about an hour of runtime (using some data on cholera cases over a 1-year period).

I am unable to trace its origin, so far, but I think it's related to the get.tau.ci function and adding add na.rm = TRUE in the quantile() call for constructing the CIs. Indeed, I'm not sure if it's an issue with the package. Thank you for any insight you may be able to provide.

Error:

Error in quantile.default(newX[, i], ...) : 
  missing values and NaN's not allowed if 'na.rm' is FALSE
Called from: quantile.default(newX[, i], ...)

From traceback:

eval(substitute(browser(skipCalls = pos)
get_tau.ci
get_tau_and_cis
run_main_analysis

Hi John, I've figured out the problem with the na.rm and modified the code using trace in an interactive R session.

I'll send a pull request which you may consider for inclusion in the package.

Thanks! Happy to get this working again.

Ruwan
