I was trying to follow this tutorial using the following dataset: Mushroom Classification. I was looking for a supervised classification problem, and I think I got it.
After running the following code...
library(caret)
dataset = read.csv("mushrooms.csv")
dim(dataset)
sapply(dataset, class)
head(dataset)
levels(dataset$class)
set.seed(100)
inTrain <- createDataPartition(y=dataset$class,p=.75,list=FALSE)
str(inTrain)
training <- dataset[inTrain,]
testing <- dataset[-inTrain,]
nrow(training)
nrow(testing)
control <- trainControl(method="cv", number=10)
metric <- "Accuracy"
train.lda <- train(class ~., data=training, method="lda", trControl=control)
... I saw the dataset had 8124 rows and 22 variables —plus the classifier—.
dim(dataset)
[1] 8124 23
However when executing train I get the following error:
Error in `contrasts<-`(`*tmp*`, value = contr.funs[1 + isOF[nn]]) :
contrasts can be applied only to factors with 2 or more levels
Looking around the web, and even here in Stack Overflow, the explanation I found was that my predictor has only one factor level. Like if the class variable only took one value? Nonetheless, previously in the code I check the level of that variable, and I get its level is 2, as it takes two values.
levels(dataset$class)
[1] "e" "p"
Therefore, I do not understand why I am getting the error. What's wrong with my reasoning? What am I doing wrong?
Thank you.

It is possible that your data set is not randomized and that what I am about to say is only true of your samples, not the full data set BUT many of your variables have only one value that is used. Type summary(dataset) and you will quickly see some examples. For example, part of the display is:
stalk.color.below.ring veil.type veil.color ring.number
w :100 p:100 n: 0 n: 0
b : 0 o: 0 o:100
c : 0 w:100 t: 0
e : 0 y: 0
g : 0
n : 0
(Other): 0
Notice that for veil.type, there is only one possible value.
levels(dataset$veil.type)
[1] "p"
I expect that is the source of your error message.
Factors = which(sapply(dataset, class) == "factor")
sapply(dataset[,Factors], function(x) { length(levels(x)) })
Shows that veil.type is the only attribute with only one possible level.
