A student is getting this error in notebook 4. Any ideas?

Code:

my_model <- lm(default_rate ~  med_alum_earnings, data = train)

ERROR:

Error in parse(text = x, srcfile = src): <text>:11:1: unexpected symbol

10:

11: my_model

^

Traceback

  • The problem has been fixed. There were too many graphs trying to run in the notebook. He restarted the notebook and it works now. Thanks.

So I'm not able to reproduce your exact error. But using the code you provided, I do notice that the variable should be med_alum_earnings not med_alum_earning.Does changing that change or fix the error?

    reecer118 Okay, good to know.

    Could you copy/paste the entire error message, or was that the entire error message? If you use three backticks (```) before and then after, it should keep the formatting of the entire message. Or you can use a service like https://pastebin.com/ and provide the link to that here.

    If that is the entire error message, then I suggest re-downloading the original data then regenerating the train and test sets if you haven't already tried that. The error is suggesting that the name of something (likely a column title, or part of the formula) cannot be interpreted by R.
