Hi all,
I have a problem with the function raster::predict very similar to the one
described here [1], [2] using raster package version 2.0-41 and party package
version 1.0-6, where my model is a conditional inference forest
(party::cforest). Could not find a solution in either post.
The problem is the following: when I use the function predict() I get an error
relating to a mismatch between the levels of factors in the data frame used to
fit the model and those of the raster layers used to predict to the whole
surface.
The only difference that I can see is that the levels of the factors in the
model are as follows (e.g.):
> morphrec.levels<-levels(v$morphrec)
> morphrec.levels
[1] "1" "2" "3" "4" "5" "6"
Whereas if I ask for the unique values of the same raster layer (where values
were extracted from in an earlier step) that is now being used to predict a
value for the response variable, I see the following:
> morphrec.values<-sort(unique(getValues(morphrec)))
> morphrec.values
[1] 1 2 3 4 5 6
When I try running predict, the following happens:
r <- predict(predictors, confor.dens, type='response',OOB=TRUE)

Is there any way of telling predict() that the values of some raster layers
will have to be considered characters? Or am I facing a different problem
entirely?
Any help will be much appreciated. I have been working on creating a small,
reproducible example, but I can't seem to get the exact same behavior.
Regards,
Geno
