[R] Error using R caret package (train) with C5.0 decision tree to do K-fold cross validation
I'm trying to use the caret package to do repeated k-fold cross validation with C5.0 decision trees. The following code generates a working C5.0 decision tree (68% accuracy on confusion matrix): > model <- C5.0(as.factor(OneGM) ~., data=OneT.train) > results <- predict(object=model, newdata=OneT.test, type="class") The caret package code gives these errors: > train_control <- trainControl(method="repeatedcv", number=10, repeats=10) > model <- train(as.factor(OneGM) ~., data=OneT.train, trControl=train_control, method="C5.0") Error in na.fail.default(list(`as.factor(OneGM)` = c(1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, : missing values in object > model <- train(OneGM ~., data=OneT.train, trControl=train_control, method="C5.0") Error in na.fail.default(list(OneGM = c(FALSE, FALSE, FALSE, FALSE, : missing values in object The data is loaded from a .csv file, and OneGM is either TRUE or FALSE (a text column in the .csv). I would like to use the one-line caret package approach above (which I've seen used in multiple places), and I'm not looking for solutions that do cross validation manually. Thanks for any help.
