Error Message: Replacement has Length Zero

Error in dat$methrs[j] <- second_factor * second_position_time : 
  replacement has length zero

for (j in 1:length(dat$time)) {
  if (is.na(dat$methrs[j]) & (dat$wear_day[j] %in% good_days)) {
    mets <- dat$methrs[j - 1] / (dat$interval[j - 1] / 3600)
    first_position_time <- as.numeric(difftime(dat$time[j], dat$time[j - 1], 
                                               units = "hours"))
    second_position_time <- as.numeric(difftime(dat$time[j + 1], dat$time[j],
                                                units = "hours"))
    totaltime <- dat$interval[j - 1]
    first_factor <- (first_position_time / totaltime) * mets
    second_factor <- (second_position_time / totaltime) * mets
    dat$methrs[j - 1] <- first_factor * first_position_time
    dat$methrs[j] <- second_factor * second_position_time
  } else {
    dat$methrs[j] <- dat$methrs[j]
  }
}

Not sure what to do with this error message. I'm trying to build graphs from my data.
