Hello,
I need some help on a regression I am running please. I am running a multiple
regression in R and I am getting weird outputs and would like your help in
resolving it.
This is the code I run:
Reg = lm (Final$Y.t.-Final$Y.t.1. ~ Final$ Y.t.1. + Final$Cor + Final$Gov+
Final$Inv+ Final$TrOp + Final$Pop+ Final$Sch , data = Final)
summary(Reg)
And the output I get is pasted below. As shown, highlighted variable is
regressed more than once which should not be the case and I am not sure why that
is the case. I have checked my data and nothing seems out of the ordinary. What
could be wrong please?
PS. I am still learning to use R.
Thank you,
Rabby

Hi Rabby, It looks to me as though your variable Final$Cor is being treated as a factor rather than a numeric value. This may be due to one or more non-numeric values occurring in the data that is read in. Also you do not have to use the Final$* notation in the formula as you have specified the data frame "Final".

Hi Rabby,
Before you run your regression, try this:
is.factor(Final$Cor)
If this returns TRUE, then this variable is a factor and it will be
treated as a number of levels rather than a set of numeric values.
This usually happens when a text file is read in and there is at least
one value that cannot be converted to numeric. So if you are doing
something like this:
Final<-read.csv("Final.csv")
Try this:
Final<-read.csv("Final.csv",stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
Final$Cor<-as.numeric(Final$Cor)
If there is at least one NA value in Final$Cor, that is probably what
is causing your problem.

If Final$Cor is numeric to begin with, there should be no problem with NA's. Commas or other stray characters might be the problem, however. As always, consulting ?read.csv should be the first stop. The OP would probably benefit by spending some time with an R tutorial or two(there are many good ones on teh web), I think, where such issues are often discussed.
