我在 https://rdrr.io/snippets/ 上运行了代码，一切正常。因此，我怀疑是我的 R 安装出现了问题，但令人担忧的是，这种情况发生时没有错误或警告。我应该采取哪些最佳步骤来调查这个问题？我在 Ubuntu 18.04 上运行的是 R 3.4.4 版本，gbm 版本为 2.1.4
我正在对一个数据集拟合一个提升模型，并注意到了一些奇怪的预测。这是一个最小的工作示例。请注意，这只是我正在处理的数据集的一小部分

回答：
问题似乎与我使用的 gbm 版本有关。
默认情况下安装的是 2.1.4 版本
在我卸载该软件包并安装 2.1.3 版本后，一切正常。
我现在已经发布了一个新问题，与软件包版本之间的不一致性有关
