How to fix: Error: unexpected '>' in ">"

[Shetland_Pony]

Hi there,

This is my code:

> cor(a_LSshort[c("WLLP", "WRT", "Cody", "Lernen", "mob_z", "INT_z", "EXT_z")]) # correlation matrix

When I ran it I got this error:

Error: unexpected '>' in ">"

Could anyone please tell me how to fix it?

Thanks!

Hi!

To help us help you, could you please prepare a reproducible example (reprex) illustrating your issue? Please have a look at this guide, to see how to create one:

FAQ: How to do a minimal reproducible example ( reprex ) for beginners

A minimal reproducible example consists of the following items: A minimal dataset, necessary to reproduce the issue The minimal runnable code necessary to reproduce the issue, which can be run on the given dataset, and including the necessary information on the used packages. Let's quickly go over each one of these with examples: Minimal Dataset (Sample Data) You need to provide a data frame that is small enough to be (reasonably) pasted on a post, but big enough to reproduce your issue. Let's say, as an example, that you are working with the iris data frame head(iris) #> Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species #> 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.…

Error: unexpected '>' in ">"

I assume you are copying the code from somewhere, just omit the ">" symbol.

Thanks!

Unfortunately now after omitting the ">" symbol in the code:
cor(a_LSshort[c("WLLP", "WRT", "Cody", "Lernen", "mob_z", "INT_z", "EXT_z")]) # correlation matrix

I got the following error:
Error in cor(a_LSshort[c("WLLP", "WRT", "Cody", "Lernen", "mob_z", "INT_z", :
supply both 'x' and 'y' or a matrix-like 'x'

Would you know how to overcome this?

what class is a_LSshort ?

Thanks, problem was solved when I turned my data into a table rather than a lits
