Question on second script #1

Closed fibke closed 3 years ago

fibke commented 3 years ago

The folds.RDS file seems to be unavailable. When running, this is the error one gets:

folds <- readRDS("output-data/folds.RDS") Error in gzfile(file, "rb") : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In gzfile(file, "rb") : cannot open compressed file 'output-data/folds.RDS', probable reason 'No such file or directory'

Now added - thanks for flagging. The pre-generated folds are useful for the calibration plot (and using the same folds is also useful to compare this model to other approaches).
