Since there is apparently not an object in your workspace named `var`, the interpreter is instead finding the function named `var` (which delivers the variance of a vector) and then is trying to apply the `$`-function to it .... but there is no `$`-method for functions. > > Can you please tell me what this error message means and roughly what I might > need to do to correct it? If necessary, I can provide the original data files. I doubt that the error is in your data. You need to find the section of code that was supposed to be creating an object named `var` and hopefully you now understand why that naming convention was a bad idea. Rewrite that section of code to use objects having more meaningful names, which will result in errors that are more helpful to you in the future. -- David Winsemius Alameda, CA, USA ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
