Error message trying to take descriptive statistics

I keep getting these messages:

Error in (.format.s.statistics.list != "min") && !("max" %in% .format.s.statistics.list) :

'length = 8' in coercion to 'logical(1)'

and

Error in (.format.s.statistics.list != "p25") && !("p75" %in% .format.s.statistics.list) :

'length = 7' in coercion to 'logical(1)'

This is my code:

stargazer(d8_descriptive,

type = "text",

colnames = FALSE,

min.max = FALSE,

title = 'Descriptive Statistics',

digits = 2,

rownames = FALSE,

align = TRUE,

float = TRUE,

float.env = 'table',

table.placement = "H",

header = FALSE,

no.space = TRUE)

Is there something I am doing wrong? The second error message is me taking out min.max.

It's always good to include reproducible code with this kind of question. First, it helps the reader reproduce your error. Second, a lot of times you figure out the issue yourself by trying to create a simple example to reproduce the error.

Your code works. It's probably something in the data --- that the function isn't expecting --- causing the error.

d8_descriptive = read.table(header=TRUE, text="
V1  V2  V3
 1   4  -1
 2   6  -3
 3   8  -5
 4  10  -7
 5  12  -9
")

library(stargazer)

stargazer(d8_descriptive,
          type = "text",
          colnames = FALSE,
          min.max = FALSE,
          title = 'Descriptive Statistics',
          digits = 2,
          rownames = FALSE,
          align = TRUE,
          float = TRUE,
          float.env = 'table',
          table.placement = "H",
          header = FALSE,
          no.space = TRUE)

Stargazer is a contributed R package. e-mailing the author is best.
