Hi
I am having trouble with dotcharts, and I keep getting the error message:
Error in Summary.data.frame(..., na.rm = na.rm) :
only defined on a data frame with all numeric or complex variables
I am sure there is a really simple fix, but I am missing it and I wondered
if you may have some advice. Test code from R help works prefectly, but I
cant seem to recreate it
# example
>dotchart(VADeaths)
>VADeaths
Rural Male Rural Female Urban Male Urban Female
50-54 11.7 8.7 15.4 8.4
55-59 18.1 11.7 24.3 13.6
60-64 26.9 20.3 37.0 19.3
65-69 41.0 30.9 54.6 35.1
70-74 66.0 54.3 71.1 50.0
# it works with mssing data
>test <-VADeaths
>test[2,]<- NA
>test
Rural Male Rural Female Urban Male Urban Female
50-54 11.7 8.7 15.4 8.4
55-59 NA NA NA NA
60-64 26.9 20.3 37.0 19.3
65-69 41.0 30.9 54.6 35.1
70-74 66.0 54.3 71.1 50.0
>dotchart(test)
# So i created my own test data
test<- expand.grid( Educ = c("B", "I", "A"),
Prof = c("L", "M","C"),
Blacks = NA,
Asian = NA,
Hispanic = NA,
Native = NA,
Female = NA)
rownames(test) <- with(test, paste(Educ,Prof, sep = "-"))
test[2:9,3:7] <- 2
temp <- test[,3:7]
temp[1, 2:3] <-5
# I want to plot temp which looks like
>temp
Blacks Asian Hispanic Native Female
B-L NA 5 5 NA NA
I-L 2 2 2 2 2
A-L 2 2 2 2 2
B-M 2 2 2 2 2
I-M 2 2 2 2 2
A-M 2 2 2 2 2
B-C 2 2 2 2 2
I-C 2 2 2 2 2
A-C 2 2 2 2 2
>dotchart(temp)
Error in Summary.data.frame(..., na.rm = na.rm) :
only defined on a data frame with all numeric or complex variables
Everything in temp is numeric and hence I dont understand the error message.
Any leads would be most helpful. thank you
Al Nerdy.
