I am using the package Random Forrest to test and train a model,
I aim to predict (LengthOfStay.days),:

*Error message*

Error in na.fail.default(list(LengthOfStay.days = c(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, :
 missing values in object,

What part of that error message is unclear? Have you looked at the randomForest page? It tells you what the default behavior is na.fail.


I would greatly appreciate any help


I would seem that the way forward is to remove the cases with missing values or to impute values.
