I have a number of files containing anywhere from a few dozen to a few thousand integers, one per record.
The statement "refdata18 = read.csv("K:\\MerchantData\\RiskModel\\Capture.Week.18.csv", header = TRUE,na.strings="")" works fine, and if I type refdata18, I get the integers displayed, one value per record (along with a record number). However, when I try " fitdistr(refdata18,"negative binomial")", or hist.scott(refdata18, prob = TRUE), I get an error: Error in fitdistr(refdata18, "negative binomial") : 'x' must be a non-empty numeric vector Or Error in hist.default(x, nclass.scott(x), prob = prob, xlab = xlab, ...) : 'x' must be numeric How can it not recognise integers as numbers?
