Hi, I want to get a clean succinct list of all levels for all my factor variables. I have a dataframe that's something like #1 below. This is just an example subset of my data and my actual dataset has 70 variables. I know how to narrow down my list of variables to just my factor variables by using #2 below (thanks to Bert Gunter). I can also get list of all levels for all my factor

Just trying to understand how geom_abline works with facets in ggplot. By way of example, I have a dataset of student test scores. These are in a data table dt with 4 columns: student: unique student ID cohort: grouping factor for students (A, B, .

Hi, I have a data set with 999 observations, for each of them I have data on four variables: site, colony, gender (quite a few NA values), and cohort. This is how the data set looks like: > str(dispersal) 'data.frame': 999 obs. of 4 variables: $ site : Factor w/ 2 levels "1","2": 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 ... $ gender: Factor w/ 2 levels "0","1":

Hi all, I have done a backward stepwise selection on a full binomial GLM where the response variable is gender. At the end of the selection I have found one model with only one explanatory variable (cohort, factor variable with 10 levels). I want to test the significance of the variable "cohort" that, I believe, is the same as the significance of this selected model: >

i am using date_select to allow someone to select their birthdate in a form. however date_select uses 3 wierd labels in the forms like follows: <select name="user[birthdate(1i)]"> <option value="1940">1940</option> <option value="1941">1941</option> . and then the month is user[birthdate(2i)] and so on.

Howdy, Last week I got some great help on why I was getting an error code when trying to run this model, thanks everyone!  I was able to get the code up and running beautifully for several data sets.  Now I am getting different errors with this new data set.  I can't figure out why, I have more data points with this species, and it is ordered exactly the same as the other species I have been

I had my samba printer shares working after many hours of struggling with the samba.conf file. I was happy. Now the printer shares have quit working.
