subsetting in execute R process
MavenHi, some basic subsetting of data frame seems to be not working when executing R in Rapidminer.
I ran this R code in Rstudio and it yields correct dimension after subsetting:
cat('dimension of training x:', dim(as.data.frame(dat[train, x])), '\n')
cat('dimension of training y:', dim(as.data.frame(dat[train, y])), '\n')
# dimension of training x: 138 60
# dimension of training y: 138 1
And then I paste this R code into a execute R process in Rapidminer, and it yields:
Jul 7, 2016 4:57:43 PM INFO: dimension of training x: 62 1
Jul 7, 2016 4:57:43 PM INFO: dimension of training y: 62 1
I print many other things to debug, and other things are all same in two cases (Rstudio vs Rapidminer). -- See complete output below
Sonar data (208 rows * 61 columns) is used in both cases.

Complete R code:
library(mlbench)
rm_main = function(dat, in_rapidminer = T){
cat('Starting R script now ...\n')
# find columns of x (attribute) and y (response) ####
if(in_rapidminer){
meta = melt(metaData)
meta$L1 = NULL
names(meta) = c('value', 'variable', 'column')
meta = dcast(meta, formula = column ~ variable)
print(meta)
y_name = meta[meta$role %in% 'label', 'column']
x_name = meta[meta$role %in% 'attribute', 'column']
y = names(dat) %in% y_name
x = names(dat) %in% x_name
} else {
# in R manually specify it:
y_name = 'Class'
y = names(dat) %in% y_name
x = ! names(dat) %in% c(y_name, 'pred_prob', 'pred')
}
cat('y column:', which(y), '\n')
cat('x column(s):', which(x), '\n')
cat('dimension of data:', dim(dat), '\n')
# encode y (only work for binary) ####
f1 = paste0('~', y_name, '- 1')
dat[[y_name]] = model.matrix(as.formula(f1), data = dat)[ , 1]
# ####
n_row = nrow(dat)
n_fold = 3
set.seed(123)
group = (seq_len(n_row) - 1) %% n_fold + 1
group = sample(group) # random permutation
print(table(group))
# n_fold CV ####
for(ii in seq_len(n_fold)){
cat('CV round', ii, '\n')
train = group != ii
cat('dimension of data:', dim(dat), '\n')

cat('dimension of training x:', dim(as.data.frame(dat[train, x])), '\n')

}
return(1)
}

dat = Sonar
rm_main(dat, in_rapidminer = F)

If you add a line like this near the beginning of the code, it seems to fix the issue.
dat <- as.data.frame(dat)
It's something to do with the type of the dat variable. In pure R, it's a data.frame. In RapidMiner it's also a data.table

Hello
What is the variable metaData in the R script. If you do str(metaData) what do you get?
regards
Andrew
Thanks Andrew. metaData is a list of list of list.
(In case you're not familiar with metaData, it's information about the role (label/id/attribute/...) and the datatype of each column. For example, you can use `set role` operator in Rapidminer to control the role, and you can control the role in import data wizard.)
The official doc of `execute R` operator talks about handling metadata <http://docs.rapidminer.com/studio/operators/utility/scripting/execute_r.html>
if you go to the HELP of `execute R` in Rapidminer, there're links to the examples in the doc.
It's easier to see after flattening and reorganization:
Hello
I know what roles are but I wasn't aware of the specific addition of an R variable that describes it.
Andrew
Hi Andrew,
You solution fixed the problem. And I reproduced the mistake by doing dat = data.table(dat) in Rstudio.
Thank you so much!
just commenting for future users to be aware of
Rapidminer Execute operator uses the data.table object vs data.frame
so in the function rm_main(data1,data2,data3) all of data1,data2,data3 objects are datatables and not dataframes.
So your best bet is converting the table to frame if you are more comfortable with dataframes
