R session aborted when running random_effect

Downstream analysis and statistics MaAsLin
1

Hi everyone,

I have a problem with paired sample when running Maasslin2.

I am a newbie and I have a count dataset with paired sample (tumor and non-tumor) for each subject. I run Maaslin2 with Subject as a random effect and Group (tumor and non-tumor) as fixed effects, but R session aborted (R encountered a fatal error). But when I run with just fixed effect, Maaslin2 run completely.

This is Maaslin2 code:
Maaslin2(
input_data, input_metadata, output,
min_prevalence = 0.1,
normalization = “TMM”,
transform = “NONE”,
analysis_method = “NEGBIN”,
fixed_effects = c(“Group”),
random_effects = c(“Subject”),
reference=c(“Group,non.tumor”)
)

Is something wrong?

Hope to receive help from everyone!

Hi there @tanhoadn,

Unfortunately I cannot really work out why this is occurring without a reproducible example would you be able to share some data that causes this? One thing to check would be if there are any odd characters in the sample name or metadata.
