Hi,

I have a question regarding data importing into R.

When I import my data into R and review the summary, some of my explanatory 
variables are being reported as if instead of being one variable, they are two 
with the same name. See below for an example;

   Behav person         Behav dog               Position
  **combination  : 38   combination  :  4**     Bank    :372
  **combination  :  7   combination  :  4**   **Island  :119**
    fast         :123   fast         : 15     **Island  : 11**
    slow         :445   slow         : 95       Land    :  3
    stat         :111   stat         : 14       Water   :230

Also, all of the distances I have imported are showing up in the summary along 
with a line entitled "other". However, I haven't used any other distances?

   Distance        Distance.dog
   2-10m  :184     <50m   : 35
   <50m   :156     2-10m  : 27
   10-20m :156     20-30m : 23
   20-30m : 91     30-40m : 16
   40-50m : 57     10-20m : 13
   **(Other): 82   (Other): 18**

I have checked my data sheet over and over again and I think standardised the 
data, but the issue keeps arising. I'm assuming I need to clean the data set 
but as a nearly complete novice in R I am not certain how to do this. Any help 
at all with this would be much appreciated. Thanks so much.

Kind Regards,

Tara Adcock.
