Dear all, I have a column within a dataframe of values which range between 1 and 2. I
want to display graphically the
distribution of these values (i.e. are they clustered towards either exteme?
Or spread evenly?). What is
a good way of doing this in R? I've tried a few things, including using the 'hist' command, but receive the
following error message:
hist(urban.long[3])
Error in hist.default(urban.long[3]) : 'x' must be numeric ...which is strange because all the values *are* numeric!
hist, plot(density(x)), rug ... are you sure that your column really is numeric and hasn't gotten turned into a factor because of a glitch? what do you get from class(urban.long[3]) ? Ben Bolker
