I do not know if I have a problem or not. The R script at the end of this email seems to run properly and a I get a boxplot that looks proper but I get the long string of messages during execution of the script looking like:
... The following object(s) are masked from dat ( position 8 ) : sugar The following object(s) are masked from dat ( position 9 ) : sugar The following object(s) are masked from dat ( position 10 ) : sugar ... I have absolutely no idea what they mean. An interprestion or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Running on Kubuntu using R version 2.6.2 (2008-02-08) PS: I'm obviously a newbie and this script is my first serious attempt at using R.
