I have a matrix, KD6, and I�m trying to get a correlation matrix from it. When I enter cor(KD6), I get the message �Error in cor(KD6) : 'x' must be numeric�. Here are some early lines from KD6: Flow E..coli TN SRP TP TSS 1 38.8 2,420 1.65300 0.0270 0.0630 66.80 2 133.0 2,420 1.39400 0.0670 0.1360 6.80 3 86.2 10 1.73400 0.0700 0.1720 97.30 4 4.8 5,390 0.40400 0.0060 0.0280 8.50 5 0.3 2,490 0.45800 0.0050 0.0430 19.75 6 0.0 186 0.51200 0.0040 0.0470 12.00 7 11.1 9,835 1.25500 0.0660 0.1450 12.20
Why are these not numeric? There are some NAs later in the matrix, but I get this same error if I ask for cor(KD6[1:39,]) to leave out the lines with NAs. Are they a problem anyway? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
