Subject: Re: [R] Error Message During ANOVA
I am teaching myself R for use in Psych research. I don't understand
the error message I am getting or how to fix it. Any suggestions will
be greatly appreciated
df1=read.table("fastfood.txt", header=TRUE); df1
c(t(as.matrix(df1))) r = c(t(as.matrix(df1))) # response data r
f=c("item1","item2", "item3")
k=3 n=6 tm =gl(k,1, n*k, factor(f)) tm
[1] item1 item2 item3 item1 item2 item3 item1 item2 item3 item1 item2 item3 [13] item1 item2 item3 item1 item2 item3 Levels: item1 item2 item3
av=aov(r~tm) Error in model.frame.default(formula = r ~ tm, drop.unused.levels =
TRUE) :
variable lengths differ (found for 'tm')
It looks like you are working way too hard to run your anova. First, the posting guide (see link at bottom or emails) asks you to provide a reproducible example. The error message states that r and tm have different lengths. At a minimum, we need to see what the df1 looks like. Show us the output of str(df1) so we can understand what your commands are doing. Without more information there is not much we can do to help. Dan Daniel J.
