[R] convert numeric variables to factor

[Rui Barradas]

Hello,

Though Bert's and David's answers are what you should do, note that some 
R functions that need factors will coerce their input variables when 
necessary.
Have you tried to run the code you haven't posted without coercing to 
factor? It might run...

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
