Subscript & Indexing Errors
Recursive indexing failed
Matches: recursive indexing failed
WHAT THIS ERROR MEANS
You tried to access a nested element in a list using [[ ]] but the path doesn't exist — one of the intermediate levels is NULL or missing.
HOW TO FIX IT
1. Check the structure with str(your_list).
2. Access one level at a time to find where it breaks.
3. Use purrr::pluck() for safe nested access.
CODE EXAMPLES
BAD — THIS CAUSES THE ERROR
result[["model"]][["coefficients"]] # "model" may not exist
GOOD — CORRECT APPROACH
# Check structure first: str(result) # Then access safely: if (!is.null(result$model)) result$model$coefficients
