Datalink: Data

Code:

 ccfsisims <- read.csv(file = \"F:/Purdue University/RA_Position/PhD_ResearchandDissert/PhD_Draft/GTAP-CGE/GTAP_NewAggDatabase/Ne         


        

Answer 1

when you load ccfsisims do str(ccfsisims )...(get in the habit of doing this)

you will see that pSVIPM is a factor. So as.numeric will simply change the factors to numbers in the order the levels appear.

Because if you look at your csv you have #DIV/0! characters in there.

try it yourself:

> length(ccfsisims$pSVIPM[ccfsisims$pSVIPM == "#DIV/0!"])
[1] 350
