[R] Help predicting random forest-like data

Hi, I have been using some code for multivariate random forests. The output from this code is a list object with all the same values as from randomForest, but the model object is, of course, not of the class randomForest. So, I was hoping to modify the code for predict.randomForest to work for

The error message should make it pretty clear -- you aren't inside a function so you can't return() a value which is, by definition, what functions (and only functions) do.** Not sure there's a great reference for this though beyond the error message Incidentally, what are you trying to do

You don't need to return() from the for loop -- just put your outputs in a variable: set.seed(1) # For reproducibility x - numeric(20) for(i in 1:20) x[i] - bob(0.5, sqrt) or (more elegant but basically the same thing) set.seed(1) x1 - replicate(20, bob(0.5, sqrt)) # Same calculation done 20x

Your problem is that you can't merge the file names, but you need to load them into R and merge the resulting objects. This should be straightforward enough to do: file_list - list.files() list_of_files - lapply(file_list, read.csv) # Read in each file merge_all(list_of_files, by = Name)
