Hi, I have a problem with an invalid variable type. My sample dataset is looking like this: > str(factivaTDM.train) 'data.frame': 4 obs. of 14 variables: $ access : num 2 3 2 1 $ billion : num 2 1 2 2 $ compani : num 7 6 1 2 $ data : num 6 2 3 4 $ inc : num 5 3 3 2 $ local : num 3 2 1 1 $ mcleodusa : num 15 6 2 10 $ network : num 9 1 2 1 $ provid : num 4 3 1 2 $ servic : num 11 4 3 6 $ share : num 9 5 3 5 $ splitrock : num 18 6 4 5 $ stock : num 3 3 1 2 $ classifiedPositive:List of 4 ..$ : chr "yes" ..$ : chr "yes" ..$ : chr "yes" ..$ : chr "yes" ..- attr(*, "class")= chr "AsIs"
and the command: NaiveBayes.model <- NB(classifiedPositive ~ ., data = factivaTDM.train) generates the error: invalid type (list) for variable 'classifiedPositive' Here is another dataset which causes no errors: > str(weatherNominal.train) 'data.frame': 13 obs. of 5 variables: $ outlook : Factor w/ 3 levels "overcast","rainy",..: 3 3 1 2 2 2 1 3 3 2 ... $ temperature: Factor w/ 3 levels "cool","hot","mild": 2 2 2 3 1 1 1 3 1 3 ... $ humidity : Factor w/ 2 levels "high","normal": 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 1 2 2 ... $ windy : logi FALSE TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE ... $ play : Factor w/ 3 levels "?","no","yes": 2 2 3 3 3 2 3 2 3 3 ... So I suppose, I have to convert classifiedPositive:List to classifiedPositive:Factor How can I do that? I will send you more information about my script if you need it.
