The major problem is that I am using the same code in another dataset and it is working perfectly.
I do not understand why in this dataset (bungoma_rain) is not working. The following is the new code I have: ## reading the data rm(list=ls(all=TRUE)) Bungoma=read.csv("/home/fredo/Documents/Maseno/Data/Bungoma_2.csv") attach(Bungoma) head(Bungoma) tail(Bungoma) summary(Bungoma) # removing missing values Bungoma <- na.omit(Bungoma) summary(Bungoma) ###### split the data by month and boxplot for 0.85mm as the threshold rain_bungoma=Bungoma[Bungoma$Rain>0.85,] head(rain_bungoma) bungoma_rain=split(rain_bungoma$Rain,rain_bungoma$Month) head(bungoma_rain) boxplot(bungoma_rain, names=c("J","F","M","A","M","J","J","A","S","O","N","D"),width = table(boxplot$Month)) title(main="Boxplot of Rain for each month") ##################################################################### The error is : > boxplot(bungoma_rain, > names=c("J","F","M","A","M","J","J","A","S","O","N","D"),width = > table(boxplot$Month))Error in boxplot$Month : object of type 'closure' is not > subsettable > Thanks for your help.
