I am a newbie and trying to do a transformation from one unit to another using the numbers that make up a column in a dataframe that I'm using.
The formula is [(26.81x)/(1960+x)]-0.53.
I've tried a few different things. It gave me the error "non-numeric argument to binary operator" even though it has determined that the class of that column is "numeric.
It would also be ideal if I could create the new column within the dataframe using the new values.
Can anyone help? I'm sure this seems very basic.
Here's the code I tried using:
df = read.csv("df" ,stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
freq = data.frame(as.numeric(df$column))
((26.81*"freq")/(1960+"freq"))-0.53
