Hi

The answer to this may be obvious, but it's got me floored.

I'm unable to get boxplot.stats to work for me!

My session looks something like this:

        > ia=read.table('/tmp/prueba.csv', header=TRUE, sep=",")
        > attach(ia)

        > boxplot.stats(X8weeks~Orden)

        Error in sort (na.last, decreasing, ...) : 
                argument 1 is not a vector

        In addition: Warning messages:
        1: is.na() applied to non-(list or vector) in: is.na(x) 
        2: is.na() applied to non-(list or vector) in: is.na(x) 
        3: is.na() applied to non-(list or vector) in: FUN(X[[1]], ...) 

        [the error message in R 2.3.1 is slightly different: it says it is not 
        atomic and shows only the 1st two warning messages]

However, boxplot(X8weeks~Orden) prints the boxplot properly (no error messages, 
data accurately represented).

> is.numeric(X8weeks)=TRUE
> is.factor(Orden)=TRUE
"X8weeks" has no NA's 


So, the question is: how can I access the data used to generate the boxplot 
(and why does boxplot.stats fail)?


Thanks!
