To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no
more than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be
able to say what the experiment died of. ~ Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher
The plural of anecdote is not data. ~ Roger Brinner
The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does
not ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body
of data. ~ John Tukey

Hi all,

Attached table (that contains summary for a genetic association study)
was read using the command:

test <- read.table('testDat.txt',header=FALSE,stringsAsFactors=FALSE)

Results from the summary of the attached table is provided below:

summary(test$V5)

   Min. 1st Qu.  Median    Mean 3rd Qu.    Max.
  22070   22070   22070   22070   22070   22070

As we can see column 5 of this table contains only one value - 22072
I am confused as to why I am getting a value 22070 in the summary of
this column.

I tested this using versions of R including - R version 3.2.1

Thank you for looking at this issue.
Kind Regards,

Praveen.
