I tried to read a dataset and then draw a histogram with a freqeuncy density curve fitted on the top of this.
I used the command
res <- read.table("C:/Documents and Settings/db/Desktop/res.dat")
and found
res[1:5]
V1 V2 V3 V4 V5
1 -0.4806 0.5075 0.0491 -0.7985 -0.666
Then I got the following when I troied to plot it
hist(res)
Error in hist.default(res) : 'x' must be numeric
Even I tried
hist(res[,2])
which is showing a blank plot.
I'd guess it's not a blank plot, it's simply a histogram with one big
bar taking up the whole of the plot. As others have mentioned, you only
have one observation in each column.
By the way, using a more informative subject line would be helpful.
