Parallelizing Panel Maneuvers in R: A Step-by-Step Guide to Overcoming Errors and Maximizing Performance.
Understanding the Problem and the Error In this article, we will explore the issue of parallelizing panel maneuvers in R using the pmdplyr functions. The error message received when attempting to use these functions in a multidplyr cluster is not immediately clear, so let’s dive into the details. The problem arises from the fact that the pibble function from pmdplyr expects all columns of the data to be vectors, but in our case, we are working with a multidplyr_party_df, which is an object that cannot be converted into a vector.
