Good day, The intention is to convert the dataset into a format suitable for the random forest classifier implemented by the CRAN package xgboost. The input data is required to be transformed into one-hot format using the sparse.discrim.matrix function, as specified by the package's vignette of

Thanks, this has been already reported as bug 17358. Addressed in R-devel 74238. R may still create a corrupt file, though, in other circumstances (e.g. if it runs out of memory or is interrupted during serialization, etc). Tomas On 02/07/2018 04:14 PM, Kenny Bell wrote: I ran into this beha

color and clarity are ordered factors, so sparse.model.matrix is generating orthogonal-polynomial contrasts (see ?contr.poly). This is by design ... what are you trying to do? Are you interested in fac2sparse? On 18-02-07 11:00 PM, Dario Strbenac wrote: > Good day, > > Sometimes, sparse.mo
