Dear forum members, I am new to R and I have downloaded the car library and I am working with the Prestige database. In this database, I am trying to replace replace NA value for a Factor variable called type and I used the following code.
Prestige.bc <- Prestige %>% mutate(type = ifelse(is.na(type),"bc",type)) I was successful in doing that but the other values, which were prof, bc, wc, changed to numbers 2. 3 and 1 and only NA were replaced by bc. For example: type 2 2 3 1 bc 1 3 3 2 I really appreciate any help. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Replacing-NA-values-for-a-categorical-variable-results-in-numerical-replacements-tp4726789.html Sent from the datatable-help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ datatable-help mailing list datatable-help@lists.r-forge.r-project.org https://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/datatable-help
