Three more packages will be showing up on your mirror soon. The caret package (short for "Classification And REgression Training") aims to simplify the model building process. The package has functions for - data splitting: balanced train/test splits, cross-validation and bootstrapping sampling functions. There is also a function for maximum dissimilarity sampling. -

Usually when using raw glmnet I let the implementation choose the lambdas. However when training via caret::train the lambda values are predetermined. Is there any way to have caret defer the lambda choices to caret::train and thus choose the optimal lambda dynamically? -- Yang Zhang http://yz.mit.edu/

Hi, I'm using package "caret" to rank predictors using random forest model and draw predictors importance plot. I used below commands: rf.fit<-randomForest(x,y,ntree=500,importance=TRUE) ## "x" is matrix whose columns are predictors, "y" is a binary resonse vector ## Then I got the ranked predictors by ranking

I'm dealing with classification problems, and I'm trying to specify a custom scoring metric (recall at p, ROC, etc.) that depends on not just the class output but the probability estimates, so that caret::train can choose the optimal tuning parameters based on this metric. However, when I supply a trainControl summaryFunction, the data given to it contains only class predictions, so the

Dear all, I have used following code but everytime I encounter a problem of not having coefficients for all the variables in the predictor set. # code rm(list=ls()) library(caret) # generating response and design matrix X<-matrix(rnorm(50*100),nrow=50) y<-rnorm(50*1) # Applying caret package con<-trainControl(method="cv",number=10) data<-NULL data<- train(X,y,

I want to use caret to build a model with an algorithm that actually has no parameters to find. How do I stop it from repeatedly building the same model 25 times? library(caret) data(mdrr) LOGISTIC_model <- train(mdrrDescr,mdrrClass ,method='glm' ,family=binomial(link="logit") ) LOGISTIC_model 528

Hi list, I´m working on a predictive modeling task using the caret package. I found the best model parameters using the train() and trainControl() command. Now I want to evaluate my model and make predictions on a test dataset. I tried to follow the instructions in the manual and the vignettes but unfortunately I´m getting an error message I can`t figure out. Here is my code: rfControl <-

Dave Langer in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8PRU46I3NY uses the titanic data as an example of using caret to create xgbTree models. The caret train() function has a tuneGrid parameter which takes a list set up like so: tune.grid <- expand.grid(eta = c(0.05, 0.075, 0.1), nrounds = c(50, 75, 100), max_depth = 6:8,

Hello all, I have searched and have not yet identified a solution so now I am sending this message. In short, I need to split my data into training, validation, and testing subsets that keep all observations from the same sites together ? preferably as part of a cross validation procedure. Now for the longer version. And I must confess that although my R skills are improving, they are not so

Hello all, I would like to use the train function from the caret package to train a svm with a spectral kernel from the kernlab package. Sadly a svm with spectral kernel is not among the many methods in caret... using caret to train svmRadial: ------------------ library(caret) library(kernlab) data(iris) TrainData<- iris[,1:4] TrainClasses<- iris[,5] set.seed(2)

Hello, I have some time series applications, where i have a large set of X variables (hundreds) and thousands of time data points (sampling every minute). I like to use the caret package to support the analysis, variable selection and model selection. However, reading the documentation, it looks like caret uses resampling methods. Not sure if these methods work with time series, as you

Dear developers, I have jutst started working with caret and all the nice features it offers. But I just encountered a problem: I am working with a dataset that include 4 predictor variables in Descr and a two-category outcome in Categ (codified as a factor). Everything was working fine I got the results, confussion matrix etc. BUT for obtaining the AUC and predicted probabilities I had to add

I'm using caret to assess classifier performance (and it's great!). However, I've found that my results differ between R2.* and R3.* - reported accuracies are reduced dramatically. I suspect that a code change to kernlab ksvm may be responsible (see version 5.16-24 here: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/caret/news.html). I get very different results between caret_5.15-61 +

I am used to packages like e1071 where you have a tune step and then pass your tunings to train. It seems with caret, tuning and training are both handled by train. I am using train and trainControl to find my hyper parameters like so: MyTrainControl=trainControl( method = "cv", number=5, returnResamp = "all", classProbs = TRUE ) rbfSVM <- train(label~., data =

Hello, I'm training a set of data with Caret package using an elastic net (glmnet). Most of the time train works ok, but when the data set grows in size I get the following error: Error en { : task 1 failed - "arguments imply differing number of rows: 9, 10" and several warnings like this one: 1: In eval(expr, envir, enclos) : model fit failed for Resample01 My call to train
