I am trying to use random forest to make a prediction for price with below data frame
data.frame': 10682 obs. of 9 variables:

Price : num 8.27 8.94 9.54 8.74 9.5 ...
Initially i tried Multiple linear regression so i log transformed the dependent variable (Price)
All the non numeric variables were character before so i converted them into factor and date time
The variable Route has 132 levels. I tried one hot encode but results were not as good
How to preprocess this variable with 100+ levels as Random forest is getting failed every time

I am doing Exploratory Data Analysis on a tibble data frame. I've never used tibble so I'm experiecing some difficulties.

Now if I use plot_bar to plot the cathegorical data (using DataExplorer package) I have no problem. I would like, for example, to create a boxplot for the cathegorical variable "Month" where for each month I have a boxplot showing how values are distribuited. The problem is that I can't find a way to access the frequencies. If I do the following:
boxplot(Month)
It creates a single boxplot for all the data (all the months) but it's not helpfull at all. Like this:
I would like the months on the x axis and the frequencies on the y axis and a boxplot for each month.
I've tried to "extract" the feature month, transform it to a matrix and repeat the process but it does not work.
Here is the variable montht taken alone:
> summary(x_Month)
Aug Dec Feb Jul June Mar May Nov Oct Sep
258 1034 123 259 166 1125 2014 1814 327 277
What am I missing ?
Something like this would probably work to create barplots for the frequencies of Month:
library(ggplot2)
spec_tbl_df %>%
ggplot(aes(x = Month)) +
geom_bar()
I am pretty new to loops in R so I do apologies if this question has been asked elsewhere.
Read in all 30 CSVfiles -> Compare File A species to the other 30 CSV files by species -> Write a new CSV file for each of the 30 files with just the matching species
File A has one column with the names of 190 species ($name). The 30 other csv files each have a column with the species ($SBSname) with differing number of species in the column $SBSname that can range from 100-500 with replicates (so the file CSV file can be larger than 190 rows). However I don't know how to write the code that ...
This is all I have at the moment ...
I have looped in all the CSV files:
30files = list.files(pattern="*.csv")
for (i in 1:length(30files)) assign(30files[i], read.csv(30files[i]))
I have code for just comparing one CSV file (branching.csv) against File A:
> str(FileA)

Any help or suggestions would be great. Doesn't have to be a loop!
How about this simple loop?
library(dplyr)
for(i in 1:length(30files))
{
csv.matching = read.csv(30files[i]) %>% inner_join(FileA, by=c("SBSname"="name"))
write.csv(csv.matching, file=gsub("\\.csv", "_matchin.csv", 30files[i]), na="")
}
I have applied GEE to the following dataset (str as below). Everything is fine.
> str(cd4.5m2)
'data.frame': 1300 obs. of 7 variables:
$ id : Factor w/ 260 levels "1","5","29","32",..: 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 ...
$ Treatment: Factor w/ 4 levels "Alternating",..: 2 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 1 ...
$ Age : num 36.4 36.4 36.4 36.4 36.4 ...
$ Gender : Factor w/ 2 levels "Female","Male": 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 ...
$ logcd4 : num 3.14 3.04 2.77 2.83 3.22 ...
$ Week : num 0 7.57 15.57 23.57 32.57 ...
$ Time : int 0 1 2 3 4 0 1 2 3 4 ...
I then transformed the outcome variable, reason being we want to monitor the change over time. So the str of the transformed data looks like below, which is almost exactly the same as the previous one (other than some name changes).
> str(cd4.5m1)
'data.frame': 1300 obs. of 6 variables:
$ id : Factor w/ 260 levels "1","5","29","32",..: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ...

$ cd4.change.norm: num 0.572 0.572 0.572 0.572 0.572 ...
I then run the GEE again and it gives me the error.
> gee1.default <- geeglm(cd4.change.norm ~ Treatment, data=cd4.5m1, id=id, family=gaussian, corstr="unstructured")
Error in `contrasts<-`(`*tmp*`, value = contr.funs[1 + isOF[nn]]) :
contrasts can be applied only to factors with 2 or more levels
I also tested all variables in the data, they all contain multiple values. So I'm completely lost here. I also saw a lot of posts on this Error, but none seem to be able to address my issue here. Help appreciated!
I changed the correlation structure to AR1, and it worked. I did test the correlation (decreased over time) and AR1 is the correct structure to use.
But normally unstructured should be the save option?
I just reordered my data and it works. I'd like to suggest you try reordering your data like cd4.5m1<-cd4.5m1[order(cd4.5m1$id),]. Credits:KDG
I've got following data:
data
Tenor Coupon Price Last 1 Month 1 Year Time
1 3 Month 0.0000 0.0150 0.02% +1 -4 06:45:02
2 6 Month 0.0000 0.0550 0.06% +2 -3 06:22:02
3 12 Month 0.0000 0.0950 0.10% +2 -1 06:50:35

7 30 Year 3.1250 101-10½ 3.06% +5 -80 06:35:23
I've downloaded it from this website with help of this topic.
Now I want to plot it to look similiar like data from website above. I've used:
my_x <- c(3,6,12,24,12*5,10*12,30*12)
plot(my_x,data$Coupon, type = "l")
But it doesn't look nice, because of values at x axis, but I don't know how to convert first column into desirable format. I've tried to use ggplot2, but I failed as well.
It may be helpful as well:
str(data)
'data.frame': 7 obs. of 7 variables:
$ Tenor : Factor w/ 7 levels "10 Year","12 Month",..: 5 7 2 3 6 1 4

str(data) showed that your data are of factor class. But they should be numeric. So you need to convert your data from factor to numeric.
data$Coupon <- as.numeric(as.character(data$Coupon))
Afterwards, plot should work.
I’m a newbie to R, and I’m having trouble with an R predict command.
I receive this error
Error in `[.data.frame`(newdata, , as.character(object$formula[[2]])) :
undefined columns selected
when I execute this command:
model.predict <- predict.boosting(model,newdata=test)
Here is my model:
model <- boosting(Y~x1+x2+x3+x4+x5+x6+x7, data=train)
And here is the structure of my test data:
str(test)
'data.frame': 343 obs. of 7 variables:
$ x1: Factor w/ 4 levels "Americas","Asia_Pac",..: 4 2 4 2 4 3 3 3 4 1 ...

$ Y : Factor w/ 2 levels "Green","Yellow": 2 2 1 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 ..
I think there’s a problem with the structure of the test data, but I can’t find it, or I have a mis-understanding as to the structure of the “predict” command. Note that if I run the predict command on the training data, it works. Any suggestions as to where to look?
Thanks!
predict.boosting() expects to be given the actual labels for the test data, so it can calculate how well it did (as in the confusion matrix shown below).
library(adabag)
data(iris)
iris.adaboost <- boosting(Species~Sepal.Length+Sepal.Width+Petal.Length+
Petal.Width, data=iris, boos=TRUE, mfinal=10)
# make a 'test' dataframe without the classes, as in the question
iris2 <- iris
iris2$Species <- NULL
# replicates the error
irispred=predict.boosting(iris.adaboost, newdata=iris2)
#Error in `[.data.frame`(newdata, , as.character(object$formula[[2]])) :
# undefined columns selected
Here's working example, drawn largely from the help file just so there is a working example here (and to demonstrate the confusion matrix).
# first create subsets of iris data for training and testing
sub <- c(sample(1:50, 25), sample(51:100, 25), sample(101:150, 25))
iris3 <- iris[sub,]
iris4 <- iris[-sub,]
iris.adaboost <- boosting(Species ~ ., data=iris3, mfinal=10)
# works
iris.predboosting<- predict.boosting(iris.adaboost, newdata=iris4)
iris.predboosting$confusion
# Observed Class
#Predicted Class setosa versicolor virginica
# setosa 50 0 0
# versicolor 0 50 0
# virginica 0 0 50
when your y is factor, show this error, try as.vector(y)~.
The column names of the data that you use to predict should be exactly the same as the column names of training data.
