Hi,
My next problem is that I have a data frame with an years column. This
column for some reason is recognised as factor instead of being
numeric. The years go from 1970 to 2007. When I convert it to numeric
with as.numeric then it goes from 1 to 38. Is there a way to convert
it with saving its "levels"?
This would be actually important as I am affraid of converting my real
values that are recognised as factors as well.
Thanks, Viktor
