Re: Prediction output consisting only of question marks

> Thanks for your reply! And yes, I found some step by step instructions with a training and test data from a university course online (https://users.cs.northwestern.edu/~ddowney/courses/349_Spring2017/pset1.html) and ran through the process. I got the same results as I did with my research data (detailed accuracy by class output is all question marks), making me think that the issue is with something that I'm doing rather than with my research data training and test setup.

Not sure how these datasets were prepared.

Here is how you can split a dataset into a train/test set by using
randomized subsets:
1. Load the dataset (eg iris.arff) in the Weka Explorer
2. Use the following Resample filter setup (change the percentage if
you want to)
  weka.filters.unsupervised.instance.Resample -S 1 -Z 66.0 -no-replacement
3. Apply the filter and save the dataset as "train.arff"
4. Undo the filter changes (to get the original dataset back again)
5. Open the filter properties and set "invertSelection" to "True"
(then we get the remainder of the dataset)
6. Apply the filter and save the dataset as "test.arff"

For using this dataset split:
1. Load the "train.arff" file
2. Go to the Classify tab
3. Select RandomForest
4. Check "Supplied test set" and select the "test.arff" through the dialog
5. Click on Start

With the iris dataset, I get something like this:

Correctly Classified Instances          48               94.1176 %
Incorrectly Classified Instances         3                5.8824 %
Kappa statistic                          0.9115
Mean absolute error                      0.0424
Root mean squared error                  0.1873
Relative absolute error                  9.4585 %
Root relative squared error             39.3672 %
Total Number of Instances               51
