unable to find an inherited method for function ‘compensate’ for signature ‘"flowFrame", "NULL"’

[yueli8]

Hello,

Thank you for developing so nice software.

It goes well with the demo data of "68983.fcs", but gets wrong with my data.

Thank you in advance for your great help!

Best,

Yue

fileName <- system.file("extdata", "s_Processed.fcs", package="FlowSOM")
ff <- flowCore::read.FCS(fileName)
comp <- flowCore::keyword(ff)[["SPILL"]]
ff <- flowWorkspace::compensate(ff, comp)
Error in (function (classes, fdef, mtable)  : 
  unable to find an inherited method for function ‘compensate’ for signature ‘"flowFrame", "NULL"

This is not a FlowSOM error. The compensate function of the flowWorkspace package requires a gating strategy or cytoFrame or cytoSet whereas the compensate function of the flowCore package uses a flowFreame. This might be misleading, but as you prefix the function by the package name, I assume that you know what you are doing. Interpreting such an error is not straightforward at first sight, but always try understand the error on your own or with the help of people around you. Learning R is not easy, but you will get benefits. Cheers.

Hi Yue, I think the issue might be related to how you read in your fcs file. You might not need the system.file function as your file is not stored in a package. Then, also verify if you have a spillover matrix stored in your fcs file and which keyword is used (might not be SPILL exactly, but maybe $SPILL, spillover, ...) Hope this helps, Sofie
