[R] prediction in a loop with only one sample

[PIKAL Petr]

Hi

Without reproducible example you probably do not persuade us to go through your almost unreadable code.

>From what you say I think you need split your file to two - training and testing

The approach I would use is sampling a row index.

ind<- sample(1:nrow(some.data), 300)

testing <- some.data[ind,]
training <- some.data[-ind,]

Regards
Petr
