Using Caret Package but Getting Error in library(e1071)

Question

Here is my code:

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

It's pretty standard but I am getting the error message:

Error in library(e1071) : there is no package called ‘e1071’

What's the cause, and how can the problem be resolved?

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

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

I tried `e1071` but it didn't work. But yours worked. Thanks! – PMa Jun 10 '14 at 02:15

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

for more information please check out the CRAN package page for caret here caret package info

This indeed works, but it is very slow. Maybe number of dependencies is a lot? – Polv Sep 23 '20 at 15:24
