Hi Elahe
I get slightly different error when using scale to nonnumeric data so I am not
sure if you use the scale function from base package.
> scale(raman[1:20,])
Error in colMeans(x, na.rm = TRUE) : 'x' must be numeric
Anyway, how do you expect scaling shall be done when you have nonumeric
variable. What shall be the output of
scale(iris$Species)
The only workaround is either to scale only numeric variables from your data and
add nonnumeric in folowing step or to change all factor variable to numeric
before scaling (which I would not recommend).
If your data are supposed to be numeric you can check if they really are by
str(df)
Cheers
