Hi, I'm trying to make a boxplot with the data at the end of the message, and when I try to execute the command
>boxplot(Diatoms) (or for any other field instead of "Diatoms") I get the following error message: Error in oldClass(stats) <- cl : adding class "factor" to an invalid object Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks a lot, Miriam Date Depth Diatoms Bacteria V1 V2 V3 1 15/02/2000 0 17 700,000 14,067,895 380,000 69,000 2 15/02/2000 2 17 316,680 9,311,160 250,000 26,000 3 15/02/2000 10 20 313,010 8,422,355 460,000 30,000 4 15/02/2000 20 21 374,535 9,259,900 280,000 33,000 5 22/02/2000 0 21 370,000 16,952,360 320,000 72,000 6 22/02/2000 2 21 462,480 10,526,390 360,000 64,000 7 22/02/2000 10 39 374,860 8,378,655 290,000 49,000 8 22/02/2000 20 140 381,900 9,468,550 390,000 73,000 9 29/02/2000 0 240 200,000 5,783,980 440,000 61,000 10 29/02/2000 2 240 224,125 8,077,105 600,000 89,000 11 29/02/2000 10 110 190,810 8,154,005 600,000 61,000 12 29/02/2000 20 460 177,050 8,333,120 600,000 69,000 13 08/03/2000 0 1,800 270,000 5,277,265 200,000 34,000 14 08/03/2000 2 1,800 403,380 9,237,105 490,000 80,000 15 08/03/2000 10 1,400 372,530 10,624,735 480,000 57,000 16 08/03/2000 20 3,100 261,215 6,228,160 340,000 37,000 17 14/03/2000 0 4,900 750,000 16,258,720 440,000 80,000 18 14/03/2000 2 4,900 633,895 10,952,305 380,000 54,000 19 14/03/2000 10 4,100 583,367 10,383,383 310,000 53,000 20 14/03/2000 20 8,200 653,945 10,148,210 380,000 48,000 21 21/03/2000 0 850 570,000 11,000,000 180,000 170,000 22 21/03/2000 2 850 520,000 27,000,000 130,000 190,000 23 21/03/2000 10 1,800 540,000 21,000,000 250,000 140,000 24 21/03/2000 20 1,800 470,000 10,000,000 110,000 70,000 25 27/03/2000 0 1,300 640,000 13,000,000 170,000 90,000 26 27/03/2000 2 1,300 770,000 17,000,000 230,000 120,000 27 27/03/2000 10 520 720,000 15,000,000 120,000 170,000 28 27/03/2000 20 130 620,000 12,000,000 98,000 74,000 29 04/04/2000 0 2,003 940,000 29,582,000 190,000 46,000 30 04/04/2000 2 2,003 952,400 27,186,525 210,000 67,000 31 04/04/2000 10 1,671 503,300 11,140,225 85,000 24,000 32 04/04/2000 20 863 682,550 14,605,825 140,000 32,000 33 07/04/2000 0 1,653 840,000 15,862,125 370,000 95,000 34 07/04/2000 2 1,653 819,350 13,099,600 280,000 67,000 35 07/04/2000 10 1,520 769,825 13,395,825 240,000 57,000 36 07/04/2000 20 422 784,700 10,910,700 170,000 28,000 37 12/04/2000 0 7,671 640,000 9,851,750 470,000 100,000 38 12/04/2000 2 7,671 600,625 9,339,400 490,000 170,000 39 12/04/2000 10 5,865 585,650 8,439,300 450,000 180,000 40 12/04/2000 20 1,276 595,225 7,297,150 360,000 92,000 41 14/04/2000 0 10,479 730,000 12,406,650 540,000 140,000 42 14/04/2000 2 10,479 700,000 10,406,650 490,000 110,000 43 14/04/2000 10 6,576 682,500 9,869,050 470,000 100,000 44 14/04/2000 20 3,307 739,075 8,875,250 420,000 180,000 45 16/04/2000 0 1,636 890,000 9,653,050 290,000 120,000 46 16/04/2000 2 1,636 885,725 9,934,300 300,000 97,000 47 16/04/2000 10 2,986 973,750 10,270,975 310,000 190,000 48 16/04/2000 20 1,222 629,250 6,792,500 210,000 90,000 49 19/04/2000 0 656 730,000 12,751,350 510,000 150,000 50 19/04/2000 2 656 831,575 13,673,700 400,000 120,000 51 19/04/2000 10 480 723,925 11,230,150 420,000 100,000 52 19/04/2000 20 872 671,975 9,858,900 330,000 97,000 53 27/04/2000 0 180 1,000,000 15,346,525 370,000 85,000 54 27/04/2000 2 180 926,800 22,825,400 670,000 93,000 55 27/04/2000 10 7 880,925 15,121,675 490,000 86,000 56 27/04/2000 20 64 723,100 10,638,400 230,000 21,000 ------------------------------------------------------------------ University of St Andrews Webmail: https://webmail.st-andrews.ac.uk ______________________________________________ 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.
