Error using RandomForest

General
#1

I am trying to use Random Forest to improve the classification to determine if it's profit or not.

ssdata_idx = createDataPartition(ssdata1$Profitable, p = 0.70, list = FALSE)
ssdata_trn = ssdata1[ssdata_idx, ] #Training
ssdata_tst = ssdata1[-ssdata_idx, ] #test
profit.f=randomForest(Profitable~Discount+Sales,subset = ssdata_trn,mtry=3,ntree=1000,importance=TRUE)
profit.f

Error in xj[i] : invalid subscript type 'list'
I don't know why???

importance(profit.f)

*Error in UseMethod("importance") : *

  • no applicable method for 'importance' applied to an object of class "rpart"*

varImpPlot(profit.f)

*Error in varImpPlot(profit.f) : *

  • This function only works for objects of class `randomForest'*

predict.tree=predict(profit.f,ssdata_tst,type="class")
confusionMatrix(predict.tree,as.factor(ssdata_tst$Profitable))emphasized text
