Hi I am running a microarray analysis that I have run before (on the same data set) but now I get an error message because my matrix suddenly is no longer numeric. Does anybody know what happens and how do solve it? Below I have pasted the commands and error message.

What do you get from str(aneData)? If the values are not all numeric, when you coerce to a matrix everything will be coerced to some common type (often character). For instance, if there are factors and numeric values in your data.frame, they will all get coerced to character, which may be what is happening.

Hi, aneData is numeric but aneData_imp is not. But I have been told that because of the changes in knn.impute I now have to use aneData_imput$data instead of aneData_imp. I have tried this and now I do not get an error message any more.
