ddply 错误的含义：“名称”属性 [9] 必须与向量 [1] 的长度相同

我正在学习黑客机器学习，但我被困在这条线上：

from.weight <- ddply(priority.train, .(From.EMail), summarise, Freq = length(Subject))

这会产生以下错误：

Error in attributes(out) <- attributes(col) : 
  'names' attribute [9] must be the same length as the vector [1]

这是一个回溯（）：

           }
       }
       else {

       }

Priority.train 对象是一个数据框，这里有更多信息：

> mode(priority.train)
[1] "list"
> names(priority.train)
[1] "Date"       "From.EMail" "Subject"    "Message"    "Path"      
> sapply(priority.train, mode)
       Date  From.EMail     Subject     Message        Path 
     "list" "character" "character" "character" "character" 
> sapply(priority.train, class)
$Date
[1] "POSIXlt" "POSIXt" 

$From.EMail
[1] "character"

$Subject
[1] "character"

$Message
[1] "character"

$Path
[1] "character"

我会发布一个示例，但内容有点长，而且我认为内容与此处无关。

同样的错误也发生在这里：

> ddply(priority.train, .(Subject))
Error in attributes(out) <- attributes(col) : 
  'names' attribute [9] must be the same length as the vector [1]

有人知道这里发生了什么事吗？该错误似乎是由与priority.train不同的对象生成的，因为它的名称属性显然有9个元素。

我将不胜感激任何帮助。谢谢！

问题解决了

感谢 @user1317221_G 使用 dput 函数的提示，我发现了这个问题。问题出在“日期”字段上，此时该字段是一个包含 9 个字段（秒、分、小时、mday、mon、year、wday、yday、isdst）的列表。为了解决这个问题，我简单地将日期转换为字符向量，使用 ddply 然后将日期转换回日期：

> tmp <- priority.train$Date
> priority.train$Date <- as.character(priority.train$Date)
> from.weight <- ddply(priority.train, .(From.EMail), summarise, Freq = length(Subject))
> priority.train$Date <- tmp
> rm(tmp)

我通过将格式从 POSIXlt 转换为 POSIXct 解决了这个问题，正如 Hadley 上面建议的那样 - 一行代码：

    mydata$datetime<-strptime(mydata$datetime, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") # original conversion from datetime string : > class(mydata$datetime) [1] "POSIXlt" "POSIXt" 
    mydata$datetime<-as.POSIXct(mydata$datetime) # convert to POSIXct to use in data frames / ddply
