Fairly new at this.
Trying to create a conditional density plot.

cdplot(status~harvd.l,data=phy)
Error in cdplot.formula(status~harvd.l,data=phy):
dependent variable should be a factor

What does this error mean?  Status is a binary response of infestation (0/1)

Probably status is a numerical variable rather than a factor**. Try print(is.factor(phy$status)) and if that is FALSE then

phy$status <- factor(phy$status, labels=c("N", "Y"))
cdplot(status~harvd.l,data=phy)

Hope this helps a little.

and harvd.l is the log of timber harvest density per catchment.

Thanks.
