I'm using the rowDiffs() command to calculate the step by step difference in 116 rows in a matrix.

I get the following error:

Error in r[i1] - r[-length(r):-(length(r) - lag + 1L)] : 
non-numeric argument to binary operator

I have no idea why this is happening. I could take the diff() separately for each row and it would work.

Any ideas?

Here's the data:

Code:

a=rowDiffs(data)
