Hi R-helpers!

I have the following object:
head(coeficientes)
   caedois           b1           b2           b3
1       1    0,033120395 -20,29478338 -0,274638864

4      10     0,171875

I´ve tried to subset it like this:
coefSelected<-subset(coeficientes,"b1">0)
but it does nothing

Then I’ve tried:
coefSelected<-subset(coeficientes,b1>0)
But I´ve got the following
Warning message:
In Ops.factor(b1, 0) : > not meaningful for factors

So the b1 variable is a factor. How it got that way is hard to determine.


So I’ve tried:
coefSelected<-subset(coeficientes,coeficientes$b1>0)
Warning message:
In Ops.factor(coeficientes$b1, 0) : > not meaningful for factors

I´ve done
mode(coeficientes)
[1] "list"

So coeficientes could be just a list or  more likely it is a data.frame.

What happens if you convert b1 to numeric? Try this way:

coeficientes$b1 <- as.numeric( as.character(coeficientes$b1) )

Then try subsetting.

See: 
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#How-do-I-convert-factors-to-numeric_003f



But I don´t know how to handle it!
Coul anyone help me?
Thanks,
