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

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 +

Hi all, I've been using a custom summary function to optimise regression model methods using the caret package. This has worked smoothly. I've been using the default bootstrapping resampling method. For bagging models (specifically randomForest in this case) caret can, in theory, uses the out-of-bag (oob) error estimate from the model instead of resampling, which (in theory) is largely

Hy, I got the following problem when trying to build a rpart model and using everything but LOOCV. Originally, I wanted to used k-fold partitioning, but every partitioning except LOOCV throws the following warning: ---- Warning message: In nominalTrainWorkflow(dat = trainData, info = trainInfo, method = method, : There were missing values in resampled performance measures. ----- Below are some

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 =

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 <-

Hello, We have a system which creates thousands of regression/classification models and in cases where we have only one input variable NaiveBayes throws an error. Maybe I am mistaken and I shouldn't expect to have a model with only one input variable. We use R version 2.6.0 (2007-10-03). We use caret (v4.1.19), but have tested similar code with klaR (v.0.5.8), because caret relies on

The following code fails to train a nnet model in a random dataset using caret: nR <- 700 nCol <- 2000 myCtrl <- trainControl(method="cv", number=3, preProcOptions=NULL, classProbs = TRUE, summaryFunction = twoClassSummary) trX <- data.frame(replicate(nR, rnorm(nCol))) trY <- runif(1)*trX[,1]*trX[,2]^2+runif(1)*trX[,3]/trX[,4] trY <-

Greetings, I have been exploring the use of the caret package to conduct some plsda modeling. Previously, I have come across methods that result in a R2 and Q2 for the model. Using the 'iris' data set, I wanted to see if I could accomplish this with the caret package. I use the following code: library(caret) data(iris) #needed to convert to numeric in order to do regression #I

I want to use the caret package and found out about the timingSamps obtion to obtain the time which is needed to predict results. But, as soon as I set a value for this option, the whole model generation fails. Check this example: ------------------------- library(caret) tc=trainControl(method='LGOCV', timingSamps=10) tcWithout=trainControl(method='LGOCV')

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,

Hi all, I run R 2.11.1 under ubuntu 10.10 and caret version 2.88. I use the caret package to compare different models on a dataset. In order to compare their different performances I would like to use the same data partitions for every models. I understand that using a LGOCV or a boot type re-sampling method along with the "index" argument of the trainControl function, one is able to

The documentation for caret::train shows a list of parameters that one can tune for each method classification/regression method. For example, for the method randomForest one can tune mtry in the call to train. But the function call to train random forests in the original package has many other parameters, e.g. sampsize, maxnodes, etc. Is there **any** way to access these parameters using train

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

Hi all I am using the caret package and having difficulty in obtaining the results using regression, I used the glmnet to model and trying to get the coefficients and the model parameters I am trying to use the extractPrediction to obtain a confusion matrix and it seems to be giving me errors. x<-read.csv("x.csv", header=TRUE); y<-read.csv("y.csv", header=TRUE);

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/

Max and List, Could you advise me if I am using the proper caret syntax to carry out leave-one-out cross validation. In the example below, I use example data from the rda package. I use caret to tune over a grid and select an optimal value. I think I am then using the optimal selection for prediction. So there are two rounds of resampling with the first one taken care of by caret's train

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

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

Hello, When evaluating different learning methods for a categorization problem with the (really useful!) caret package, I'm getting confusing results from the Kappa computation. The data is about 20,000 rows and a few dozen columns, and the categories are quite asymmetrical, 4.1% in one category and 95.9% in the other. When I train a ctree model as: model <- train(dat.dts,
