I have a data file, 'precip_projected.csv,' that starts like this:
name,easting,northing,elev,sampdate,prcp Headworks Portland Water,2370575.38427211,199337.634652112,228,2005-01-01,0.59 Headworks Portland Water,2370575.38427211,199337.634652112,228,2005-01-02,0.08 Headworks Portland Water,2370575.38427211,199337.634652112,228,2005-01-03,0.1 Headworks Portland Water,2370575.38427211,199337.634652112,228,2005-01-04,0 Headworks Portland Water,2370575.38427211,199337.634652112,228,2005-01-05,0 Headworks Portland Water,2370575.38427211,199337.634652112,228,2005-01-06,0.02 Headworks Portland Water,2370575.38427211,199337.634652112,228,2005-01-07,0.05 Headworks Portland Water,2370575.38427211,199337.634652112,228,2005-01-08,0.1 Headworks Portland Water,2370575.38427211,199337.634652112,228,2005-01-09,0 Headworks Portland Water,2370575.38427211,199337.634652112,228,2005-01-10,0.02 There are a bunch of NAs in the data file. The command to read it produces an error: rainfall <- read.csv('../data/precipitation/precip_projected.csv', header = T, sep = ',', as.is = T) Error in `$<-.data.frame`(`*tmp*`, date, value = numeric(0)) : replacement has 0 rows, data has 113569 Is the error generated by finding a date that looks like the number zero or by a prcp value of zero? BTW, I get the same error if I specify stringsAsFactors = F.
