[R] There is an error when I performed chisquare and postanova test...:(

[John Kane]

As Michael suggests carefully read the help file (type ?chisq.test to bring up the page) and match all the elements of your command with the elements listed on the help page.

You do not need to use attach(chicken) given the code you are using and using attach(data)  is generally considered bad practice. The two equations below are equivalent and the second is better practice in R.

anova(lm(chicken$ration~chicken$weight)) # your code

anova(lm(ration ~ weight, data = chickens)) # cleaner code.

Also have a look at ?with

I'd suggest having a look at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-ex and/or http://adv-r.had.co.nz/Reproducibility.html for some ideas on how to form questions and supply sample data to R-help.

You are posting from nabble which does not supply any context for the help list.  If you are going to post here regularly I think everyone would be grateful if you post directly to R-help from a mail program. Very few people here use nabble and it is generally considered something of a curse.

Good luck on the quizz
