Hi Martin, Thanks! You were right. Quotes seemed to work, except I kept running into a problem on the following line:
time <- "GSE19829-GPL570_eset$days_to_death" / 365 The error is that R atomic vector operator invalid. It's actually much easier if I could use quotes rather than re-name-- so is there any way to put quotes around the columns in "GSE19829-GPL570_eset" such that it does what i want it to? In the above "time" example, I just want to take the values in the column and divide by 365, but the quotes are messing it up. Any clarification would be really greatly appreciated! Thanks!
