Running lm() errror: Error in xj[i] : invalid subscript type 'list'

I keep getting this error and I don't understand what I am supposed to change

Here is the code I am using.

fit <- elsa12 %>%
   lm(formula = notact1~cesd2, data = elsa12)%>%
    filter(!is.na(notact1),!is.na(ncesd2))

Error in xj[i] : invalid subscript type 'list'.

Solution 1:

I think

fit <- (elsa12 
     %>% lm(formula = notact1~cesd2)
)

should work.

you don't need to specify data=elsa12 in the lm() call (the pipe automatically feeds elsa12 to lm() as the first unspecified argument, which in this case is data), and in fact this confuses R because it thinks you're specifying the next argument, which is subset — that is the proximal cause of your error ("invalid subscript type 'list'")
your filter should be unnecessary because lm() automatically drops cases that have NA in any of the model variables
even if you did want to use filter, it looks like it was in the wrong order (i.e. you should have used elsa12 %>% filter(...) %>% lm(...))
