I am stuck in problem, it may be silly but if someone could guide would be great. I am looking to transform and plot a feature but it gives me the below error
> hist(da1$Inc)
> hist(da1$log.Inc)
Error in hist.default(da1$log.Inc) : 'x' must be numeric
>
I read couple of blogs and help pages which indicates that variable should be converted to numeric but the data is already numeric and am able to plot histogram & calculate summary stats. So unable to figure out what should be done. I want to visualize transformed data and then feed it to the model. Could someone please help. Thanks in advance.
Regards
Try to see if this command works
hist(as.numeric(da1$Inc))
Good luck

Dan Li, Histogram always takes numeric data. Pls, check if the data type in R has not been converted to factor or character. Change the variable to numeric
data$x=as.numeric(data$x)
Best!!

Hi dear Dan Li
I think you can use the bottom codes:
data$x = as.numeric(data$x)
or
you can check the type of your data like as :
type of(data$x)
or you can change your data to the integer type:
data$x = as.integer(data$x)
and try again to make your histogram.
