I am getting the following error whenever I try to predict data against my linear model.
Warning message: 'newdata' had 101 rows but variables found have 296 rows
The following is the code snippet
trainingFrame = data.frame(weeksTrainingConv,bugsTraining)
validateFrame = data.frame(weekTestConv,bugsTest)
model <- lm(totWeekConv ~ totBugs,trainingFrame)
myPrediction <- predict(model,validateFrame)
The calculations for the dataframe and their components are written in a separate sheet. Here is the snippet. I have commented out the blocks according to the nature of the code. The first block represents my training dataset, the second is the dataset which I will use to test my model. Finally the last block is the total dataset.

I wanted to create a linear model and establish a relationship between weeks vs bugs. I converted the week Dates into a numerical format for easier calculation.
I can create the model using the lm() command and I provided it with a training dataset as shown in the 1st code snippet. Whenever I want to predict against the model using testing data set which in this case is a dataframe named "validateFrame", the program gives me an error stating
Warning message: 'newdata' had 101 rows but variables found have 296
rows
I am new to R and I have already googled regarding this but am failing somewhere.I have googled it already but the solution I found doesn't seem to work for me.
The problem is in your initial code snippet.
trainingFrame = data.frame(weeksTrainingConv,bugsTraining)
validateFrame = data.frame(weekTestConv,bugsTest)
model <- lm(totWeekConv ~ totBugs, trainingFrame)
myPrediction <- predict(model,validateFrame)
First, you create the model using totWeekConv and totBugs from trainingFrame. But trainingFrame does not have variables with those names. It has columns named weeksTrainingConv and bugsTraining. Then you try to evaluate the model on validateFrame where the variables have yet different names - weekTestConv and bugsTest. You must use the same variable names throughout.
I am not quite sure how you meant to use totWeekConv and totBugs but I believe that what you wanted was:
trainingFrame = data.frame(weeksConv = weeksTrainingConv,bugs = bugsTraining)
validateFrame = data.frame(weeksConv = weekTestConv,bugs = bugsTest)
model <- lm(weeksConv ~ bugs,trainingFrame)
myPrediction <- predict(model,validateFrame)
Here, you are training on the training data and testing on the test data but the column names are the same in both places.
