ANOVA analysis error

[zsl3713]

library(sjstats)
fit <- aov(Two-point field goals made ~ as.factor(month) + Assists, data = ZSL)
Error: unexpected symbol in "fit <- aov(Two-point field"

I have no idea why R always display this error?

Thanks all

Without your data, the actual issue can't be reproduced, but if "Two-point field goals made" is your variable name, you'll need to surround it in backticks `Two-point field goals made`, since it is not a "syntactically valid" name (see SO thread's below for detail):

Variable name restrictions in R

Check if character value is a valid R object name

Yay, glad to hear you've got it working right (and that the tweets are helpful ).

If your question's been answered (even if by you), would you mind choosing a solution? (See FAQ below for how).

Having questions checked as resolved makes it a bit easier to navigate the site visually and see which threads still need help.

FAQ: How do I mark a solution?

If your question has been answered, don't forget to mark the solution! How do I mark a solution? Find the reply you want to mark as the solution and look for the row of small gray icons at the bottom of that reply. Click the one that looks like a box with a checkmark in it: [image] Hovering over the mark solution button shows the label, "Select if this reply solves the problem". If you don't see the mark solution button, try clicking the three dots button ( ••• ) to expand the full set of options. When a solution is chosen, the icon turns green and the hover label changes to: "Unselect if this reply no longer solves the problem". Success! [solution_reply_author] …
