删除 R 中子集数据框中的因子级别 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1195826/dropping-factor-levels-in-a-subsetted-data-frame-in-r
我正在尝试使用 randomForest 来预测销售额。我有 3 个变量，其中之一是 storeId 的因子变量。我知道测试集中的某些级别不在训练集中。我试图仅对训练集中存在的水平进行预测，但无法让它超越新的因子水平。
到目前为止，这是我尝试过的：
require(randomForest)
train <- data.frame(sales = runif(10)*1000, storeId = factor(seq(1,10,1)), dat1 =runif(10), dat2 = runif(10)*10)
test <- data.frame(storeId = factor(seq(2,11,1)), dat1 =runif(10), dat2 = runif(10)*10)
> train

Error in predict.randomForest(RF1, test) :
New factor levels not present in the training data
这部分是有道理的。
所以我尝试这个：
> test2 <- test[test$storeId != 11,]
> pred <- predict(RF1, test2)
Error in predict.randomForest(RF1, test2) :
New factor levels not present in the training data
所以我尝试这个：
> levels(test2$storeId)
[1] "2" "3" "4" "5" "6" "7" "8" "9" "10" "11"
而且“11”级别仍然在那里。
接下来我尝试这个：
> test2$storeId <- as.numeric(as.character(test2$storeId))
> test2$storeId <- factor(test2$storeId)
> pred <- predict(RF1, test2)
Error in predict.randomForest(RF1, test2) :
Type of predictors in new data do not match that of the training data.
尽管事实上这里看起来一切正常：
> levels(test2$storeId)
[1] "2" "3" "4" "5" "6" "7" "8" "9" "10"
有什么建议让它只对没有“11”级别的商店进行预测吗？
EDIT:
> test2$storeId <- as.factor(as.character(test2$storeId))
> pred <- predict(RF1, test2)
Error in predict.randomForest(RF1, test2) :
Type of predictors in new data do not match that of the training data.
