[R-sig-eco] LEVELS function NULL

[Vesna Gulin]

Hi, 

 

Thank you! It was indeed a character :) I used 
 
my_data$Sampling <- as.factor(my_data$Sampling)

and now it works:

 

> levels(my_data$Sampling)

[1] "Dec17" "Jan18" "Jun18" "Mar18" "May18" "Nov18" "Oct17" "Sep18"

 

Kr,

Vesna

Hi,

 

What is the output of 

class(my_data$Sampling)? 

 

If it is not factor (but character), you could write

my_data$Sampling <- as.factor(my_data$Sampling)

 

Then levels(my_data$Sampling) should return Sep18 etc.

 

Cheers!

Hi everyone,



It has been a couple months now of using R and I am slowly trying to switch
from using Statistica to R in order to process my data (for PhD purposes).



I did some basic statistics and now I would like to try Kruskal-Wallis
(following this guideline:

http://www.sthda.com/english/wiki/kruskal-wallis-test-in-r )

but I have been stuck for days as I can't seem to find a reason why the
levels function keeps giving me NULL. 



My data is a data frame: 



my_data

1         9.90    Dec17

2        10.00    Dec17

56       24.15    Sep18



When I hit levels(my_data$Sampling) it gives me 
NULL



I would very much appreciate any help. 



Kind regards,

Vesna
