Julia Debugging Procedures

Julia Debugging Procedures

So you managed to break Julia. Congratulations! Collected here are some general procedures you can undergo for common symptoms encountered when something goes awry. Including the information from these debugging steps can greatly help the maintainers when tracking down a segfault or trying to figure out why your script is running slower than expected.

If you've been directed to this page, find the symptom that best matches what you're experiencing and follow the instructions to generate the debugging information requested. Table of symptoms:

Formula, ModelFrame and ModelMatrix types

Formula, ModelFrame and ModelMatrix types

In R, the functions for fitting statistical models based on a linear predictor usually allow for a formula/data specification of the model. The data part is a data.frame object in R. In Julia the corresponding type is a DataFrame as implemented in the DataFrames package.

A formula object in R is an expression whose top-level operator is a unary or binary tilde, ~. The interpretation of many operators, including +, *, ^, \ and : are overridden in the formula language. See the result of

?formula

in R for the details.
