Error opening .bim file while running Admixture

Question

[tsarvale]

Hi All!

While running the following command:

for K in 1 2 3 4 5; do admixture --cv hapmap3.bed $K | tee log${K}.out; done

Such error came up:

Estimation of standard errors disabled; will compute point estimates only. Error opening .bim file!

This command runs with no problem:

admixture hapmap3.bed 3

The binary plink files are already checked by quality control. Genotypes included are consisting of ~50K SNPs.

Do you have any idea how could I resolve it?

Thank you!

Valentina

Had the same problem, the name of the .bed file you specified or the path to it was erroneous. Check for typos.

Try let all binary file put in the same file，like .bim, .fam etc.
