[Solved] R: Not meaningful for factors even though its data type is numeric [duplicate]

by


We can convert those factor columns to numeric

library(dplyr)
library(magrittr)
mydata %<>%
    mutate_if(is.factor, funs(as.numeric(as.character(.))))

Or using base R

i1 <- sapply(mydata, is.factor)
mydata[i1] <- lapply(mydata[i1], function(x) as.numeric(as.character(x)))

and then the code should work
