Re: [R] replace character by numeric value
Dear Arnaud, I don't quite unterstand why you have imbricated ifelse() statements. Do you have more that BUY (1) and SELL (-1)? If not, why not simply: mynewdf2 <- mydf2 |> dplyr::mutate(side = ifelse(side == 'BUY', 1, -1)) That would solve the problem. I'm not quite sure exactly what happens, but this is probably related to the intermediary result after the first ifelse(), where characters and numeric are mixed. But conversion to numeric works properly, so I'm not sure what you meant: as.numeric(mynewdf2$side) More generally, why are you trying to convert to 1 and -1? Why not use factors? Are you trying to test contrasts maybe? I would be surprised if the function for the statistical test you are trying to use does not deal with that already on its own.

[R] replace character by numeric value
