Greetings R users,
I have a curious problem. I read in a csv file (subset shown below) as
normal
data=read.table("C:/Users/Chaz/Desktop/test.csv",sep=",",header=TRUE,
na.strings=".")
However, the numbers from the dataset are not registered as numeric:
is.numeric(data$Mesh)
[1] FALSE
When I try as.numeric, it converts all the values to different integers.
This changes the analysis as I would like calculate simple things such as
the means and standard deviation. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Mesh SubQ Edge 90 10 55 60 25 45 60 12 85 50 50 90 45 80 70 40 45 45
80 40 65 100 65 58
