[R] rfImpute

[Jeff Newmiller]

Ideas:

Read the Posting Guide (http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html) for this mailing list (one of the gems in there warns you to not post using HTML email)

Provide a reproducible example (e.g. per [1]) that includes the library/require statements that load your packages

Consider subscribing to the mailing list, as Nabble abuses the email quoting conventions that experienced R answerers expect. If you are really into the web forum thing, consider using the StackOverflow website.

(Re-)read the help file ?rfImpute, which says that the y argument cannot have NAs.

Consider specifying an appropriate subset argument to rfImpute

Disclaimer: I have never used this function or the package (randomForest) that it comes from. These are merely ideas that you might have come upon if you were a little more methodical.
