How did you "import" the data? What function did you use?

Maybe unlist(data), but to get a more precise answer you have to tell
us how you read the data in R

Best,

SOLVED:

I imported again the data like this:

data <- scan ("data.txt")

Thanks Phil Spector!

Can you give an example of your .txt file that you are reading in?

[R] mode(x) <- "double"

2009-04-29 Thread aledanda

Hi,
I need your help!! 
I imported a big coloumn vector from a txt file but it results as mode
:"list" I want to change it in numeric otherwise I can't do my analysis.
This is what i get:

mode (data) <- "double"
Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : 
 (list) object cannot be coerced to type 'double'
> 


Thanks a lot!!!

Alessandra
