All the data of this variable are "Low", "High", or NA. When I put summary(x$y), it gives me the number of High, Low, and NA entries. However, when I try to subset by writing x$y=="Low" or x$y=="High", R does not recognize the word and it writes FALSE for all the entries (but not the NA entries). Can anybody help me out?
