[R] a scope problem

[Tony Plate]

This looks like it probably is a scope problem with non-standard evaluation 
rules for the argument subset= of nnet.

Instead of subset=sub[-i], try data=dftc[-i,]  (I've not tested this since 
I don't have the data objects you used.)

hope this helps,

Tony Plate
