Simulations end with warning messages #10
Comments
Hi Anonino, Thank you for telling us about this issue with warning messages. I see them so often that I became blind to them :) The first message ("incomplete final line ...log") is a bug on my part. It does not indicate an error in the simulation, it is just an error that can occur while reading the log file (which rsocsim does to show the output to the user in the r-console). I have to handle that error in the package so that users are not bothered with unhelpful error messages. The second warning ("can't open transition history file.") is a warning from socsim itself. The transition history file is not necessary for most use cases - Only if you restart a simulation where you want to keep track of moves between groups, it is necessary. Socsim oversimplified says:
Maybe we should change the wording to make it more obvious that this is most likely no problem? |
Hi Tom, Thanks so much for your very helpful reply! Regarding the second warning message, would it be accurate to instead have rsocsim indicate that "no prior transitions are assumed"? If this could be in the form of regular output in the r-console, rather than a warning message, this might be less concerning for the user? This is just a suggestion. I am very happy to hear that the warning messages don't indicate any errors with the simulation. Many thanks and best wishes, |
Make warnings re missing input/output files less cryptic (issue #10).
Dear
rscocsim
team,I found that the simulations succesfully carried out with the
rsocsim::socsim()
command return two warning messages:The help file does not currently specify the meaning of these warning messages and what their effect on the simulation output might be.
Many thanks and best wishes,
Antonino
