Error when running promotion impact

[jmdiaz77]

Hello,

I'm really interested in using your function to calculate the promotion impact of my company sales, I'm getting this error though:

Error in rlbin(x, y, gpoints, truncate) :
NA/NaN/Inf in foreign function call (arg 2)

This is the data set structure I'm using (data is simulated for confidentiality purposes): (sim_data)

"2023-02-26" 3358338.75171958

And my promotion table (sim_promotion):

"pro_id" "start_dt" "end_dt" "tag_info"
"pro_1_1" "2021-01-10" "2021-03-07" "B"
"pro_2_1" "2021-04-11" "2021-05-16" "A"
"pro_2_2" "2021-12-05" "2022-02-13" "A"
"pro_1_2" "2022-05-01" "2022-07-10" "B"
"pro_1_3" "2022-10-09" "2022-10-23" "B"
"pro_2_3" "2022-11-13" "2022-11-20" "A"
"pro_3_1" "2023-02-05" "2023-02-26" "C"

The line of code that is giving the error with this tables is this one:

pri1 <- promotionImpact(data=sim_data, promotion=sim_promotion,
time.field = 'date', target.field = 'Value',
trend = T, period = 30.5, trend.param = 0.02, period.param = 2,
logged = T, differencing = T, synergy.promotion = FALSE,
synergy.var = NULL, allow.missing = T)

I tried checking the class of the variables in the tables but everything is as it should be (date, double and character for tag_info and pro_id.

Hope you can help me out!

Jama

I have the same problem trying to run the code; did you ever get your error resolved?
