hi dieter,
the method i'm using is in excel, copying the data, then in r
> w<-read.delim("clipboard")
> w<-as.data.frame(w)
i've been doing a bit more fiddling, and have identified the 'class' of the
column that i'm having trouble with, is classified as 'factor' whilst the
rest are numeric.
if i just change that column to as.numeric of the column, this has appeared
to have solved the problem. Has this changed that data at all though?
Thanks.
