What is this supposed to do? You're just creating a formula and printing
it here.

This simply means that data.to.analyze$Aeventexhumed is of length 127,
while data.to.analyze$Aevent is of length 0 (or most probably doesn't
exist).

I think you meant to do:
data.to.analyze$Aeventexhumed <- factor(data.to.analyze$Aeventexhumed)
