My data set is very simple, just one variable "Step.length.in.mm", right now I try to use power law distribution package to get my Xmin and pars, my code is:

# install.packages("poweRlaw")  
library("poweRlaw")  

m=file$Step.length.in.mm

est=estimate_xmin(m)

m$setXmin(est)

The error message

Error: $ operator is invalid for atomic vectors

Can anyone tell me how to solve this?

`$` is short for `[[` and you don't `x[[1]]` a vector, you `x[1]`a vector – rawr Oct 14 '15 at 01:42
so what should I do here? – Ian Oct 14 '15 at 02:04
m=file[Step.length] ?? – Ian Oct 14 '15 at 02:04
Look at the associated [vignettes](https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/poweRlaw/) for the package. In particular, read the Introduction to the poweRlaw package. Currently your question doesn't make sense, i.e. what is `file`? – csgillespie Oct 14 '15 at 08:46
"file" is my data name – Ian Oct 14 '15 at 15:03
"step.length.in.mm" is my variable name – Ian Oct 14 '15 at 15:03
