Spencer,
Looks like you want to read the data into an R dataframe; I assume that's
the format for geonomic data as it is for environmental data.
load("C:\\Users\\Spencer\\Desktop\\LGG Drug (CSV).csv")
Instead, try
mydata <- read.csv("lgg_drug.csv", header = TRUE, stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
Note: this assumes the data file has column headers. And, you can use your
.txt file with the read.table() function.
Any insight into what perhaps I am inputting that is causes this
reoccurring error? Any suggestions as to another procedure for moving
forward would be greatly appreciated!
How much about R have you read/learned? Taking a couple of steps back
might be well worth your while.
Regards,
Rich
