New error message #41

The package was working perfectly fine for me when I used a slightly outdated version, but since I installed the most recent version, I get the following error with PanelMatch: "Error in contrasts<-(*tmp*, value = contr.funs[1 + isOF[nn]]) : contrasts can be applied only to factors with 2 or more levels." However, nothing in my data has changed. I have missing values on some variables, but that should not cause the problem. What changed in the most recent package version that could cause this error?

We changed the syntax for including lagged covariates in refinement, which I suspect is what's causing your issue. Take a look at the discussion here, and I think that should help.

Thank you so much! This fixed the error with PanelMatch. However, I am now also getting a new error with PanelEstimate despite the syntax being the same as in the old package. It must be something concerning the new package as I had no problems before. The new error message reads: Error in .Call("_PanelMatch_handle_vits", PACKAGE = "PanelMatch", nrow_data, : "_PanelMatch_handle_vits" not available for .Call() for package "PanelMatch" Do you have any advice what's going on? Many thanks again.

Hm, that's odd. How did you update the code? This error is suggesting that I didn't properly export an internal function, but things look ok here. I'm thinking maybe something odd happened in the update process -- maybe try deleting entirely and re-installing?

Thank you, once again! Deleting and reinstalling fixed the issue. Many thanks for your help.
