Hi Ista, Thanks for your reply. I had added a detailed explanation on this one & researched before asking. May be someone did not read it i cant do much though David's explanation helped as why it wasnt able to run the syntax.
Please see trail mail: (though i have already moved ahead and taken an alternate package to calculate IV for each var at a time): HI Team, I am working to reduce the # of predictor variables from the model using woe and iv values. For this i am using riv package. However i am having a hard time installing this package: install_github("riv","tomasgreif") install.packages("DBI",dependencies=TRUE) The error i receive is : *Username parameter is deprecated. Please use tomasgreif/riv and THEN this part: The other approach i have to use the library(InformationValue). I have this as below: WOE(X=SFDC1$support_cat, Y=SFDC1$survey) WOETable(X=SFDC1$support_cat, Y=SFDC1$survey) IV(X=SFDC1$support_cat, Y=SFDC1$survey) This package assists me achieve what i am looking for but here i need to add one independent variable at a time to see whether it is predictive or not. Is there a way i can add all variables at a go or have to add one by one, For the above package (riv) i have seen an example which helps to take the entire data range and predictive the power of each predictor.
