unused argument with "gwas_merge"

[wzxiao1217]

Hi Jean,

I notice the latest example for gwas_merge add the argument "pval_cols", but when I apply the argument, then comes the error: unused argument...I am not sure whether the argument has been updated in the latest release version 1.2.0, or what I can do to fix the problem.

Many Thanks,
Zixiao

Hi Zixiao -- I just added the pval_cols argument in the latest version. You can install with devtools::install_github("jean997/cause"). There should be a note about that in the tutorial -- I will add it. Thanks!
Jean

Thanks, Jean. That's very helpful!

Although I have installed it through devtools::install_github("jean997/cause") I still get the same issue. Is there anything else I could do to fix the problem? Thank you.

[jean997]

can you check the version you have installed?

With packageVersion("cause") my output is 1.2.0

The pval_cols option was added in version 1.2.030 so you need to update to the latest version by re-installing with the install_github command.
(see Release Notes here: https://github.com/jean997/cause)

Thank you for your reply! However, I had used both devtools::install_github("jean997/cause") and devtools::install_github("jean997/cause") and devtools::install_github("jean997/cause@v1.2.0") and I still get the same error. Should I do something different? Thank you.

If you use devtools::install_github("jean997/cause") you will get the latest version. I haven't made a new release since that option was added so you have to use the latest version and not the release version. If you check sessionInfo() you should see that the version number for cause is 1.2.0.0335

Thank you! After I reinstalled "R" and "cause" it worked.
