I am attempting to develop a multiple regression model using selected model variables that should all be treated as numeric (mostly real) values. However, R considers one specific variable "mass" automatically to be of class "factor", probably because "mass" consists of integer values that are repeated. I now want to force R to treat "mass" as a numeric variable in the regression but am not sure how to do this. > class(mass) <- "numeric" does not help me. Could anyone advise me on this? Kind regards, Robin Smit
