I can code summary(midterm_df$hv109) and I get the summary of variable hv109. No problem.Yet when I write the code: summary(hv109, data = midterm_df) I get this error: Error in h(simpleError(msg, call)) : error in evaluating the argument 'object' in selecting a method for function 'summary': object 'hv109' not found If I write the code summary('hv109', data = midterm_df), R treats hv109 as if it were a character variable. It is not. Page 521 in Andrews *Doing Data Science in R* shows the data = [df] command. I thought it was straightforward. Why doesn't my code work? Any help w/ this would be appreciated. -- Jerome Anderson [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide https://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
Hello, ?summary has no argument 'data'. You must use the first form.
