"index" option misspecified #74

Closed cjing1 closed 2 years ago

cjing1 commented 2 years ago

Hi Yiqing,

Thank you for the great package.

I am trying to run gsynth() function on my own data, gsynth(event_sum_vader_com ~ Treated + Response, data = dat, index = c("ID","Eventday"), se = TRUE, inference = "parametric", r = c(0, 5), CV = TRUE, force = "two-way", parallel = TRUE, min.T0 = 8, nboots = 1000, seed = 02139)

but keep getting the following error: Error in gsynth.default(formula = NULL, data = data, Y = Yname, D = Dname, : "index" option misspecified. Try, for example, index = c("unit.id", "time").

The panelView function works fine with the same index, and the plot is following:

Would you mind helping me know what's wrong with my setting of gsynth() function? Thank you.

Interesting. Have you tried making them a factorial or character variable? I saw decimal points in your "ID" and thought it may be the problem.

Thank you for the quick reply. Yes, I tried to make ID character variable from 1,2,etc to event1, event2, etc. But it does not work.

Please send us an example code and data file vie email -- I assume you're using the most up-to-date version of the package.

Thank you so much for your help. I found and solved the error, I accidentally created duplicated variables. Thank you again for this amazing package. I appreciate it.
