[Basta-users] Error with DataCheck

[Fernando Colchero]

Dear Aaron,

   I believe that the error is because the two matrices are read as data.frames and the values in them are not numeric. Maybe you can force Y to be a matrix by typing:

  Y <- as.matrix(Y)

   Let me know if that works.

  Best,

  Fernando
