Understanding and Correcting the Code: A Step-by-Step Guide to Fixed R Error in Dplyr
Based on the provided code, I’ve corrected the error and provided a revised version. library(dplyr) library(purrr) attrition %>% group_by(Department) %>>% summarise(lm_summary = list(summary(lm(MonthlyIncome ~ Age))), r_squared = map_dbl(lm_summary, pluck, "r.squared")) # Department lm_summary r_squared # <fct> <list> <dbl> #1 Research_Development <smmry.lm> 0.389 #2 Sales <smmry.lm> NaN Explanation of the changes: pluck function is not available in the dplyr package; it’s actually a part of the purrr package. The correct function to use with map_dbl for extracting values from lists would be pluck.
