  • DEXseq estimateDispersions error

    Hi there,

    I have been trying to use DEXSeq for alternative splicing analysis. I'm doing analysis following example in the DEXSeq manual. Some errors I got when doing estimateDispersions are as follows:

    > dxd = estimateDispersions( dxd )
    using supplied model matrix
    Error in LastError$store(results = results, is.error = is.error, throw.error = TRUE) :
    Errors occurred during execution. First error message:
    Error in fitBeta(ySEXP = counts(object), xSEXP = modelMatrix, nfSEXP = normalizationFactors, : in call to fitBeta, the following arguments contain NA: alpha_hatSEXP

    For more information, use bplasterror().
    To resume calculation, re-call the function and set the argument 'resume' to TRUE or wrap
    the previous call in bpresume().

    First traceback:
    24: estimateDispersions(dxd)
    23: estimateDispersions(dxd)
    22: .local(object, ...)
    21: bplapply(splitObject, function(x) {
    estimateDispersionsGeneEst(x, maxit = maxit, quiet = quiet,
    modelMatrix = modelMatrix, niter = 10)
    }, BPPARAM = BPPARAM)
    20: bplapply(splitObject, function(x) {
    estimateDispersionsGeneEst(x, maxit = maxit, quiet = quiet,
    modelMatrix = modelMatrix, niter = 10)
    }, BPPARAM = BPPARAM)
    19: bpmapply(FUN, X, MoreArgs = list(...), SIMPLIFY = FALSE, USE.NAMES = FALSE,
    resume = resume, BPPARAM = BPPARAM)
    18: bpma

    Does anyone know what this error mean? and how to fix it?

    thanks a lot!

    hi,

    Can you show the construction of the dxd object and what the column data looks like?

      I have the same error, and the dxd object is this:
      class: DEXSeqDataSet
      dim: 588047 4
      exptData(0):
      assays(1): counts

        hi,

        You need to provide more information for maintainers to help debug.

        Show all the code you used, including the dxd object construction, print out the sessionInfo() and paste it here, and it would be useful to know the column data (at least the structure, if you can't share the actual design information):

        as.data.frame(colData(dxd))

          I have the same error

          I suspect this error may be due to no replicates.

          as.data.frame(colData(dxd))
          sample condition libType exon sizeFactor
          1 control SMA-control paired-end this 1.118398
          2 patient SMA-patient paired-end this 0.894136
          3 control SMA-control paired-end others 1.118398
          4 patient SMA-patient paired-end others 0.894136

          Can anyone help in fixing this error?

          Thanks in advance

            just to repeat, we can't help unless you provide all the information.

            1) show all the code you used, including the dxd object construction.

            2) print out the sessionInfo() and paste it here

            3) (shikha5 has already provided this) as.data.frame(colData(dxd))

                Hi All,
                Now I am considering the replicates too but getting the same error as mentioned in my last post on this thread.

                Can anybody help?

                  Hi @shikha5,

                  The error seems to be that a you have no replicates in your experiment.

                  As for the dataset with replication, could you add what Mike asked in post 6 and the error that you are getting?

                    Hi @areyes,
                    Thanks for your reply. You have correctly pointed out that, the error I was getting was due to the "absence of replicates" in the analysis. But, when I included 2 replicates then it was working fine.

                    So, DEXSeq program for estimating dispersion requires atleast 2 repicates per sample.

                      Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.

                      Recent Developments in Metagenomics
                      by seqadmin





                      Metagenomics has improved the way researchers study microorganisms across diverse environments. Historically, studying microorganisms relied on culturing them in the lab, a method that limits the investigation of many species since most are unculturable1. Metagenomics overcomes these issues by allowing the study of microorganisms regardless of their ability to be cultured or the environments they inhabit. Over time, the field has evolved, especially with the advent...
