Hi Jon, 

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you on this. I think I've tracked this down to your data being from the "tibble" class/package, which didn't play well with Amelia. I've pushed an update to the development version that fixes this issue. You can either wait until we push the next version to CRAN or install the development version by following the instructions here:

Hope that helps!

Cheers,
Matt

Hello,

I am new to amelia and have been unable to find any info on the error I am receiving:

> tscsPlot(bd.am.poly1, cs = "Fraud", var = "n")
Error: Unsupported use of matrix or array for column indexing

The data is 3 variables: a date var used for the ts, a grouping var used for cs, and a count var, "n", which is my outcome variable that requries imputation.

My initial amelia call looks like this (note that it wasn't clear if amelia supported datetime objects, so I converted to seconds since epoch - if it can handle datetime objects and this conversion is unnecessary, it would be great to know that!):

>bd.am.poly1 <- amelia(bdsum, idvars = "date", ts = "datenum", cs = "call.type", polytime = 1, intercs = T)

Here's a sample of the data:

         date                  call.type     n datenum
       <date>                     <fctr> <dbl>   <dbl>
1  2016-08-17             Criminal Mis C    NA   17030
2  2014-02-10   TRAFFB-Traffic Complaint    NA   16111
3  2015-11-03         WEAPO1B-Weapon I/P     1   16742
4  2016-09-03                Disturbance     0   17047
5  2015-02-24                    Assault     0   16490
6  2014-08-06            Unknown Problem     0   16288
7  2014-08-28 INJACC3B-Injury Accident C     0   16310
8  2015-06-11      Recovered Stolen Prop     0   16597

10 2015-05-09              Welfare Check     2   16564

Thanks much,

Jon
