Variables with duplicate labels cause an infinite loop in xtabs #39

Closed jciconsult closed 5 years ago

jciconsult commented 5 years ago

The Statcan SPSS file that I am processing (community health survey) has two variables with duplicate labels. If these variables are in the dataset that is used a source for xtabs, even if the variables are not in the xtab, there is an error message about factor problems and R hangs in a loop).

Have you tried running this with the most recent release on Github? Anyway, without example data, I am unable to identify and fix the but that may cause this issue.

The new code does not cause a problembin the machine at my farm. I am going to update all my machines. I am back in Toronto and have not done that here but will confirm before and after results. Could you please identify the function that gives me the name of variables with duplicate lists. Thanks in advance.

?duplicated_labels

jciconsult commented 5 years ago

In version 0.99.14.02 on the Toronto machine , this code seems to take an inordinate amount of time. cchs1516.ds<-readRDS("cchs1516_ds.Rds") xtabs(wts_m~incdvrca,data=cchs1516.ds) after a message about duplicate labels . I am able to hit the stop command to get out of it. I was not able to do that on the farm machine. The survey is quite interesting and large. The issue may have just been the scale. It is the Canadian Community and Health Survey.

I thought that I had send you the link. I will send it to your email but not to git hub.
