looks like you have a data frame, not a matrix

surely there must be an entry in column 3 that makes it non-numeric.
what does is.numeric(data[3]) say? (NAs should not make a column
non-numeric, unless there are only NAs there, which is not the case
here.) check your data for non-numeric entries in column 3, there can
be a typo.
