runChicago Error

Issue #19 new
Former user created an issue

Hi all,

I'm using chicagotools for the analysis of our Capture Hi-C dataset. With default parameters everything is fine. I played around , changed the binsize and got this error:

In addition: Warning messages:

3: In estimateBrownianComponent(cd) :
  We're using the whole data set to calculate dispersion. There's no reason to sample repeatedly in this                         case, so overriding brownianNoise.samples to 1.
4: In theta.ml(Y, mu, sum(w), w, limit = control$maxit, trace = control$trace >  :
  iteration limit reached
5: In sqrt(1/i) : NaNs produced
6: In theta.ml(Y, mu, sum(w), w, limit = control$maxit, trace = control$trace >  :

7: In sqrt(1/i) : NaNs produced

So, I'm not sure what to do to overcome the problem. Would be great if someone could help. Thx a lot Steph

    Hi Steph, I can see a few warnings that were produced along the way, but the error that halted the execution was already at the example baits' plotting stage, after the Chicago object has been generated and saved. This error was triggered at the step of choosing a subset of random baits to plot. By default, it tried to sample 16 baits, but it seems that there are fewer than this number of baits that was left in your data - possibly after filtering. One of the warnings below ("2: In estimateBrownianComponent(cd) : subset > number of baits in data, so used the full dataset.") also suggests that the number of baits was perhaps very small. Chicago explicitly outputs filtering stats in the process - so perhaps you can check how much was indeed filtered out.
