I am wondering if anyone can tell me what the error I'm receiving means
below. I thought it said that Aeventexhumed should be converted to a factor,
so I tried to do so and received the following error.

Please advise. J

> data.to.analyze.glm <- glm(cbind(MaxHatch, TotalEggs-MaxHatch) ~
> Aeventexhumed, family=binomial, data=data.to.analyze)
