What exactly is your problem with this file? The file that you sent had 10 lines of what appeared to be data and 4489 lines with just commas which would read in as NAs. When you do an 'str' you get:
> str(x) 'data.frame': 4498 obs. of 195 variables: $ Good_Bad : Factor w/ 3 levels "","BAD","GOOD": 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 3 3 1 ... $ Good1Bad0 : int 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 NA ... $ PercUltColl : num 1 1 1 0.98 0.09 0.01 0.19 1 1 NA ... $ GoodMerchant. : int 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 NA ... $ Fundid so there are 4498 lines of data in the file, but you probably only what the first 10. Is this what your problem is? On Fri, Dec 16, 2011 at 12:20 PM, Lost in R <michael.har...@principiscapital.com> wrote: > I've also attached here a sample of my data in Excel.
