error in parse(text = x, keep.source = FALSE) : <text>:1:80: unexpected input

[Xibit]

Hello,
I hope that someone can help me with my problem.
I would like to multiply impute missing values into my data set. But when I enter the code

tempData <- mice(data,m=5,maxit=10,meth='pmm',seed=500)

, an error message appears.

Fehler in parse(text = x, keep.source = FALSE) :
:1:80: unerwartete Eingabe
1: eCoach ~ 0+QIDS_t0+QIDS_t1+WAI_C+WAI_P+TAI+AQoL+Alter+ModuleEr+Sex+ISCEDkat+GAD�
^

Where could the error be? Is the error in the data set? I have it imported from SPSS.

Thank you very much!

Xenia

What sort of data are you trying to impute? Can you provide a reproducible example?

FAQ: What's a reproducible example (`reprex`) and how do I do one?

Why reprex? Getting unstuck is hard. Your first step here is usually to create a reprex, or reproducible example. The goal of a reprex is to package your code, and information about your problem so that others can run it and feel your pain. Then, hopefully, folks can more easily provide a solution. What's in a Reproducible Example? Parts of a reproducible example: background information - Describe what you are trying to do. What have you already done? complete set up - include any library() calls and data to reproduce your issue. data for a reprex: Here's a discussion on setting up data for a reprex make it run - include the minimal code required to reproduce your error on the data p…

I managed to solve my problem
r had problems with one of my variables, it was GAD.

After I copied this variable in spss and reimported the dataset the mice-code worked well.
Maybe it'll help somebody
