R error: number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length R

Question

I wrote the following code and got the error: number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length at code line:

 X_after[count, ] = c(censN1, cen         


        

Answer 1

Your problem lies in the fact that sub_samples = n_samples/3 is not a whole number.

When you create a sample of fractional size it creates a sample of floor(size)

length(rlnorm(1.5,1,1)) 
## [1] 1

Thus, when you recombine your data length( c(censN1, censN2, censN3)) does not (necessarily) equal n_sample.

Thus, you need a method for dealing with numbers of samples that are not divisible by 3.
