[R] arguments must have same length

> interaction.plot(sex,rep(1,861),score,fun=mean,legend=F,main="profile of
> sex")
Error: tapply(response, list(x.factor, trace.factor), fun) :
arguments must have same length

> length(sex)
[1] 861
> length(type)
[1] 861
> length(score)
[1] 3

How can I alter the length of the variable score here to make this function
work?
or any other way to perform interaction plot?

However you are not telling us whole story. score shall be data frame and
length(data.frame) results in number of columns.

>From help page

x.factor a factor whose levels will form the x axis.
trace.factor another factor whose levels will form the traces.
response a numeric variable giving the response

your second variable to interaction plot is numeric - shall be factor
your third variable is probably data frame, shall be numeric.

It is advisable to give to functions values they expect. Some functions
can crunch unexpected data but the results can be misleading if not wrong.
