In serialize(data, node$con) : 'package:stats' may not be available when loading

Hi,
I am currently trying to use BEER for analyzing phip-seq data. However, when running the example code, I encountered an error message stating that the stats package may not be available when loading, but it's loaded. The code producing the error is as follows:

Could you please provide any insights on what could be causing this message:
Thank you in advance.

+                                       prob = "edgeR_logpval"))

I don't think this is a package specific problem. I suspect that it has to do either with BiocParallel or possibly with R/RStudio (see this BiocParallel GitHub issue, and this Posit post).

To help debug your problem, I would make sure that you are running the most recent version of R (and even RStudio).
