[R] how to replace <NA> values

[John Kane]

I'm pretty sure that what you have is not what you think you have.

Do a str(Elder1) on the data set and you will see that age is a factor not a numerical variable. Bascally you have a mangled data set from the look of it.

Why would you want to change NA's to 0's?
