The 1 indicates the y value. In this case, it represents "eating". A 0 would represent "not eating".

The example above has a training set of 2 records, with the y-value indicating whether the sentence is about eating or not. So, when we run the model on the test sentence, we get a 1.

-----My Question is where do you specify in code 'eat' is a word to predict 0 or 1. If I like to add other word "like", where should I do the changes. Please explain

how did u say that y(Dependent variable) is for eating and not Eating classes??
Why can't I consider "y" has sleeping or not-Sleeping classes?
Is it depends on terms used in the Document

what if our test data have different keywords in the text , can we classify the

suppose test data = ### "dogs are mostly of brown colour"

it is showing error

dims of 'test' and 'train' differ

hello thank you very much sharing this, but I belive
predict(fit, newdata = train) should be tested on the test set rather then train? as this link suggests : https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/caret/vignettes/caret.html

There's a problem in

Train.

fit <- train(y ~ ., data = train, method = 'bayesglm')

With this output:

Error in model.frame.default(form = y ~ ., data = train, na.action = na.fail) :
invalid type (list) for variable 'y'

Yes, there is a problem there, because there is a function called 'train.' But, in line 12, you override that function with a data matrix. You essentially destroy the function, or replace it with a data matrix.
