Hello everybody! Let's assume I have the following factor with it's levels: a<-factor(c(2,3,3,2,4,2,3,2,2,2,3,2,3)) mydata<-data.frame(a) When I plot the vector "a" using barplot(table(mydata$a) unfortunately the value "1" does not show up, as it does not appear in my data. But still, it theor

first of all, the subsetting line is overly complicated. dat.sub<-dat[dat$treat!='cont',] will work just fine. R does exactly what you're describing. It knows the levels of the factor. Once you remove 'cont' from the data, that doesn't mean that the level is removed from the factor: > df<-dat

Dear list, I cannot figure out why, after sub-setting my data, that particular item which I don't want to plot is still in the newly created subset (please see example below). R somehow remembers what was in the original data set. A work around is exporting and importing the new subset. Then it's

Tell me how this works out for you. I think R is seeing your "newXaxis" variable as a character variable because there is some non-numeric string in there, then it converts to factor. Try setting stringsAsFactors=FALSE in the read.csv and see if it is then read as character. If it is, try yo
