Hi Joshua While looking at the data, all the values seem to be in numeric. As i mentioned, the dataset is already in data.frame.
As suggested, I used str(mydata) and got the following result: str(leu_cluster1) 'data.frame': 984 obs. of 100 variables: $ V2 : Factor w/ 986 levels "-0.00257361",..: 543 116 252 54 520 ... $ V3 : Factor w/ 986 levels "-0.000790437",..: 7 666 14 32 105 ... $ V4 : Factor w/ 986 levels "-0.0023231","-0.004207663",..: 6 353 267 208 187... $ V5 : Factor w/ 986 levels "-0.006466083",..: 585 627 146 131 263 ... $ V6 : Factor w/ 986 levels "-0.002119173",..: 11 56 111 898 780... The columns are not numeric, which I understood from this. There is a function called data_check as part of Clustercons package I am using for this project. This helps me check whether the input data is numeric or not. Using this I could tell that my data is not numeric and that is why I was trying to convert it to numeric data. This forum is of great help since I am able to learn more and thanks for making this forum so helpful to people like us who are new to R.
