Using Caret Package but Getting Error in library(e1071)

Question

Here are my codes, pretty standard but I am getting the error msg:

library(caret)
set.seed(32343)
modelFit = train(type~.,data=training, method=\'glm\')


        

Answer 1

You need to install the package e1071, as the error message is telling you.

install.packages('e1071', dependencies=TRUE)

Answer 2

If you will be using the caret package regularly try:

install.packages('caret', dependencies = TRUE)

This will automatically download package e1071 as well as ellipse and many other package dependancies that arise in using caret
