You're getting that issue because the column name 'Dietary Fiber' is two words
To fix it, find out exactly what it's called in your data (e.g. run colnames(Starbucks)
) and look for the column there and make sure you name it exactly the same
If the Dietary Fiber
column name does indeed contain a space, you can surround it with the backtick character (i.e. ` ) so R knows to treat it as one single column name
Example
Here's an example of using lm()
with a column whose names contain a space
a <- iris[1:10, c(1:2)]
# This works
lm(Sepal.Length ~ Sepal.Width, data = a)
# But what if we try the same thing with a space in the column name?
colnames(a)[2] <- "Sepal Width"
# Now it errors
lm(Sepal.Length ~ Sepal.Width, data = a)
# Error in eval(predvars, data, env) : object 'Sepal.Width' not found
# To use lm() function with a column name that contains spaces, use the backtick
lm(Sepal.Length ~ `Sepal Width`, data = a)
