Help with SimilarityMult: likely user error, not code issue. Error in rmultinom(nboot, sum(X2), p[, 2]) : NA in probability vector #12

Description

@thomatostew

I'm trying to obtain diversity indices/estimators and dissimilarity measures for a community abundance matrix comprised of samples taken from multiple assemblages. Specifically, I'm running Anne Chao's function:

SimilarityMult (estimating various similarity indices among N communities). Both richness and abundance-based N-community similarity indices are included" --Anne Chao's SpadeR package.

I use packages:

library(devtools)
install_github('AnneChao/SpadeR')
library(SpadeR)
library(vegan)

ISSUE

My community abundance matrix set-up: 108 species in rows, 144 sites/samples in columns.

I run:

SimilarityMult(bugs,"abundance",q=1,nboot=200,"relative")

which yields:

ERROR CODE "Error in rmultinom(nboot, sum(X2), p[, 2]) : NA in probability vector

I run:

SimilarityMult(bugs,"abundance",q=2,nboot=200,"relative")

which yields:

ERROR CODE "Error in rmultinom(1, ni[k], p[, k]) : NA in probability vector

Below I provide the information from which my data matrix can be recreated and used to run problematic code to find sources of error. I share a subset of my data which includes the first 20 rows and first 25 columns.

I run:

dput(bugs[1:20,c(1:25)])

Output:

Produce dataframe

bugs

Input dataframe 'bugs' into SimilarityMult functions above.

I do not understand why the code fails. What can I do to make the function work properly? Any solution/advice on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
