Hi, I need some help with making a function a bit more elegant. How would you all suggest avoiding the problem I've made myself below - I've written a function that creates a temporary matrix by subseting a larger one I assign it. I then call vectors from that matrix, add each item in the vector

It was a bit hard for me to follow the thread and figure out exactly what the problem is that you're having, but I think it has something to do with the ticks on the x axis not appearing in the correct order? It's probably related to this issue: https://github.com/hadley/ggplot2/issues/577 I

Enclose the file name tmax.final.text in quotes. Otherwise R is looking for a variable named tmax.final.text, not the file name named tmax.final.text. HTH Peter On Thu, Sep 20, 2012 at 1:02 PM, gfishel gfis...@wral.com wrote: Thanks for your help! Unfortunately, I am now getting this:

I'm working with some data from which a client would like to make a decision tree predicting brand preference based on inputs such as price, speed, etc. After running the decision tree analysis using rpart, it appears that this data is not capable of predicting brand preference. Here's the

Not very sure what the problem is as I was not able to take your data for run. You might want to use dput() command to present the data. Now on the programming side. As we can see that we have more than 2 levels for the brands and hence method = class is not able to able to understand what

One possible way to think of it is using variable reduction before going for J48. You may want to use several methods available for that. Again prediction for brands is more of a business question to me. Two solution which I can think of. 1. Variable reduction before decision tree. 2. Let the
