Hello Sir,

 

I am a PhD student at Michigan Technological University, School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science. I found the ArcMap extension "Marine Geospatial Ecology Tools 0.8a45" very interesting, and relavant for my research work. I am trying to apply the "Fit Random Forest Model" to my reference data but I am continously getting an error message. I have one response variable (continuous) and four explanatory variables (one of them categorical) in my training data set. I am trying to fit a model of the form:

 

tot_volcuf ~ modslope + tmndvi20 + avbawht + factor(cover)

 

The error message that I am getting is: Error in factor(cover) : object 'cover' not found.

 

Herewith I have attached my data table. Could you please run the above model with my data? It would be a great help if you could suggest me the necessary steps and would be highly acknowledged.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Sincerely,

Ram Kumar Deo
