Why am I getting " attempt to use zero-length variable name" error in my code?

[p2poo2]

Hi gus,

I am still very new to RStudio and am trying to run some code that has worked in the past with my other datasets, but is not currently working.

logit <- read.csv("uncomplete_responses_removed.csv")

colnames(logit)

logit = read.csv("uncomplete_responses_removed.csv", fileEncoding = "Latin1", check.names = F)

fit <- glm(Study_Year ~ ADA, data = logit, family = binomial)
summary(fit)

The error code exactly is:

Error in terms.formula(formula, data = data) :
attempt to use zero-length variable name

Thanks!

Hi, what does your dataset logit look like? Can you provide a reproducible example (we don't have your csv file).

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.…
