input$num is character values and input$cat is character
Error I am getting . Not sure why? Can we not declare input$num and input$cat in t.test? Because when I code directly as t.test(as.numeric(var1) ~ var2, data = input_data), I get the results. But if declare as t.test(paste0(as.numeric(input$num),"~" ,input$cat,data = input_data)) , I will not get the output
Warning in mean.default(x) :
argument is not numeric or logical: returning NA
Warning in var(x) : NAs introduced by coercion
Warning: Error in if: missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed
The t.test function does not accept a string as input. You can convert a string to a formula using eval and parse. Something like this.
t.test(formula = eval(parse(text = paste(input$num, "~", input$cat))), data = input_data)
Why don't you try it on the command line first before you try to put it into shiny.
input_data <- data.frame(x = runif(10), y = c(rep("A",5), rep("B",5)))
t.test(formula = eval(parse(text = paste("x", "~", "y"))), data = input_data)
