I have a dataset that looks like this:
Act Day Sin
1 1 Monday 3
2 0 Tuesday 0
3 0 Wednesday 1
I'm trying to do linear regression on the Act column. I read about dummy variables, so I'm adding columns for each of the days like this:
data$Mon = ifelse(data$Day=="Monday", 1, 0)
... and so on for the other days
Which gives me data like this
Act Day Sin Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat
1 1 Monday 3 1 0 0 0 0 0
2 0 Tuesday 0 0 1 0 0 0 0
3 0 Wednesday 1 0 0 1 0 0 0
... and so on
Then when I try and create my model like this:
glm.fit <- glm(Activity ~ Mon, data = data, family = binomial)
I'm getting the following error:
Error in eval(family$initialize) : y values must be 0 <= y <= 1
I've looked at a lot of other posts about this error and they all suggest making the y values 1's and 0's. But my 'Mon' column is already values of 0 and 1. What am I doing wrong?
I wrapped my dependent variable into a as.factor and that worked:
glm.fit <- glm(as.factor(Activity) ~ Mon, data = data, family = binomial)
