That simple code works for me as well, but for some reason my actual code still isn't working. Here is exactly what I'm doing:
- The code for importing my data is: /Bridges = read.csv(file = "C:/R/Bridges.RData.csv", head=TRUE, sep=",")/ - Within my group of highway bridges, I have defined a subgroup of bridges that are Interstates, and are made of concrete. The code for this is: /Interstates_Concrete = Bridges [Bridges$ROUTE_PREFIX_005B == 1 & Bridges$STRUCTURE_KIND_043A == 1 | Bridges$STRUCTURE_KIND_043A == 2,]/ where "ROUTE_PREFIX_005B" signifies an interstate bridge if it is equal to 1, and "STRUCTURE_KIND_043A" signifies a concrete bridge if it is equal to 1 or 2 - Then, my code for converting the dependent variable to log form is: /Bridges$LOG_DECK_COND = log(Bridges$DECK_COND_058, base = exp(1))/ where "DECK_COND_058" is the condition of the bridge deck, with values ranging from 3 to 9 Both of these code snippets run without error. However, when I try to run the code for the actual model: /exp.int.con= lm(LOG_DECK_COND ~ CUM_ADTT_2011 + CUM_WSL_2011, data = Interstates_Concrete)/ where CUM_ADTT_2011 and CUM_WSL_2011 are existing variables in the dataframe, I get the following: /Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : object 'LOG_DECK_COND' not found/ Since: /lm.int.con= lm(DECK_COND_058 ~ CUM_ADTT_2011 + CUM_WSL_2011, data = Interstates_Concrete)/ runs without any issues, I have to conclude that there is definitely a problem with the log conversion; I just don't know what it is. I have tried running this on multiple machines and in multiple workspaces, and the problem remains. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Unable-to-reference-variable-created-in-dataframe-tp4640822p4640900.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
