[R] Can nested data frame be used in machine learning?

[Bert Gunter]

Your question is too vague to answer.

Many R functions have "predict" methods that can be used to make
predictions using a new object (e.g. a data frame) from a fitted object fit
on another data frame/object. See e.g. ?predict.lm for an exemplar. But
that's the closest I can come to guessing what you want.

I think you need to spend time with a tutorial or two on whatever
functions/methods you are using for "machine learning." You should not
expect us to do such homework for you.
