Filtering and Validating Data for Shapiro's Test in R
It seems like you’re trying to apply the shapiro.test function to numeric columns in a data frame while ignoring non-numeric columns. Here’s a step-by-step solution to your problem: Remove non-numeric columns: You’ve already taken this step, and that’s correct. Filter out columns with less than 3 values (not missing): Betula_numerics_filled <- Betula_numerics[which(apply(Betula_numerics, 1, function(f) sum(!is.na(f)) >= 3))] I've corrected the `2` to `1`, because we're applying this filter on each column individually.
