The data (named "metInfo") I use is provided here (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sGtOBOzD-K4iEpDUyeb9e5b_D7afr7Fk/view?usp=sharing)
As you can see, in the metInfo %>% pull(rtc) %>% unique has two levels
> library(dplyr)
> load("metInfo.RData")
> metInfo %>% pull(rtc) %>% unique
[1] RTC nRTC
Levels: nRTC RTC
And the strange part is that I can metInfo %>% filter(rtc == "RTC") but not metInfo %>% filter(rtc == "nRTC").
"RTC"
> metInfo %>% filter(rtc == "RTC")

However, using R base filtering function, it returns what I want:

Strange enough, I tried to create a data.frame to see if this is due to "n" problem such as "\n" for something, but it turns out that this is not the case:
No problem with "nRTC"
haha <- data.frame(a =c("A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F"), b = c("RTC", "RTC", "RTC", "nRTC", "nRTC", "nRTC")) %>% as.tbl()
> haha %>% filter(b == "nRTC")
# A tibble: 3 x 2
a b
<fct> <fct>
1 D nRTC
2 E nRTC
3 F nRTC
Nor "RTC"
> haha %>% filter(b == "RTC")
# A tibble: 3 x 2
a b
<fct> <fct>
1 A RTC
2 B RTC
3 C RTC
Nor "nRTC" with R base
> haha[haha$b == "nRTC", ]
# A tibble: 3 x 2
a b
<fct> <fct>
1 D nRTC
2 E nRTC
3 F nRTC

Is anything wrong with the data structure?
The metInfo is a grouped_df
> class(metInfo)
[1] "grouped_df" "tbl_df" "tbl" "data.frame"
Thus just ungroup() the metInfo
> metInfo %>% ungroup %>% filter(rtc == "nRTC")

I am very new to the r programing. I am trying to build ggplot without NA values. I am unable to remove NA values. Below is the syntax I am using. Please I need help with this.
ggplot(data = phq_projekt, aes(x = Sex, fill = Gruppe, na.rm = TRUE )) +
geom_bar(position = 'stack', na.rm = TRUE)
Not sure if I am missing some syntax.
Below is the data:

I have performed the string cleaning and missing data treatment as of now. I need help in my next task which is to remove outliers and compute a chi square matrix from this categorical dataset. I am new to data analysis and am quite confused at this point. I would be extremely grateful if I could get help regarding this.
I have a data.frame (df) that looks like that:
ZN.N ZL.N
MMP2 (1.89,3.58] (2.13,4.1]
AEBP1 (1.89,3.58] (2.13,4.1]

A2MG [0.364,1.89] [0.275,2.13]
ENOA (1.89,3.58] (2.13,4.1]
And I would like to cluster the row.names (proteins) based on the two variables (ZN.N and ZL.N). Could I use a k.means approach or a hierarchical clustering for this kind of data?
I've tried
df.k2 <- k.means(df, 2)
but it doesn't work. I'm really new on clustering so apologise whether the question is really silly, thanks a lot
Here is the dput of my data.frame
structure(list(ZN.N = structure(c(2L, 2L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L,1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 1L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 1L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 1L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 1L), .Label = c("[0.364,1.89]", "(1.89,3.58]"), class = "factor"),

The reason you are having trouble with clustering is that kmeans expects a numeric matrix, but you're providing the function a data frame with factor variables.
You could instead convert those factors to numbers and then run kmeans:
set.seed(144)
df$ZN.N <- as.numeric(df$ZN.N)
df$ZL.N <- as.numeric(df$ZL.N)
clusters <- kmeans(df, 2)$cluster
clusters1 <- names(clusters[clusters == 1])

In this code, ZN.N was converted into the numbers 1 and 2, and ZL.N was converted into the numbers 1, 2, and 3. kmeans then computes the euclidean distance between points for the clustering. You'll have to determine if this makes sense for your application.
When calculating a polychoric correlation in R (library(polycor), function hetcor) I get the warning message In log(P) : NaNs produced. I wasn't able to figure out what this warning message might constitute. I suppose it has to do with the calculation of the p-values for testing bivariate normality.
Thus my questions are:
What characteristics of this dataset result in this warning?
What's the meaning of this warning?
Is this warning problematic in terms of using the polychoric correlation matrix for further analyses?

Computation of correlation matrix:
hetcor(foo)
Comment: the real dataset contains about 2500 rows (and more variables), but when evaluating the contingency tables a sparse matrix doesn't seem to be an issue.
A short (and belated) answer to a very old question. The warning is because some of the cells in the cross tabulation of the variables (for example, variables 1 and 2) have 0 values in the cells. This can lead to problems in estimation.
The polychoric (and tetrachoric) correlations are normal theory approximations of what would happen if bivariate normal (and continuous) data were converted into categorical (dichotomous for tetrachorics, polytomous for polychorics) data. The normal theory approximation assumes that all cells have some value. However, the correlations can be found with 0 cell values, but with a warning. The resulting correlations are correct, but unstable, in that if we add a small correction for continuity (i.e., add .1 or .5 to the 0 cells), the values change a great deal. This problem is discussed by Gunther and Hofler for the case of tetrachoric correlations where they compare solutions with and with the correction for continuity.
(See the article by A. Gunther and M. Hofler. Different results on tetrachorical correlations in mplus and stata-stata announces modified procedure. Int J Methods Psychiatr Res, 15(3):157-66, 2006. for a discussion of this problem with tetrachoric correlations.)
Using the polychoric function in the psych package, we find the same answer as the hetcor function from polycor if we do not apply the correction for continuity, but somewhat different values if we do correct for continuity. I recommend the correction.
See the help function for polychoric in psych for a longer discussion of this problem.
