Like most help forum users, I'm very new to R. I've been having this problem: I started with a dataframe called fullData. With the subset command, I split it into two separate dataframes, soloData and teamData. The hist() function works when I use... hist( subset(fullData, fullData$playlist_id==4 )$deaths) ...the exact call to subset() that I used to create each dataframe. However, when I input, hist(soloData$deaths) I get the error, " invalid number of 'breaks' ". I tried manually setting the breaks to 20: hist(soloData$deaths, breaks=20) The error I got was complete gibberish to me. Here it is in full: Error in hist.default(soloData$deaths, breaks = 40) : hist.default: pretty() error, breaks= In addition: Warning messages: 1: In min(x) : no non-missing arguments to min; returning Inf 2: In max(x) : no non-missing arguments to max; returning -Inf Can anyone explain what's going on? Or more directly, how can I take the histogram of a dataframe subset? -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Histogram-of-a-dataframe-subset-failing-tp3689884p3689884.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Try str(soloData$deaths) or head(soloData$deaths) or summary(soloData$Death) There may be something wrong with you data.

Thanks! It was late, so this didn't occur to me, but I tried summary() and all values were NA. The subset had resulted in a dataframe with 0 rows somehow, but now that's fixed. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Histogram-of-a-dataframe-subset-failing-tp3689884p3690504.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
