How to suppress iteration output from Boosted tree model gbm in Caret from R studio

Question

If I run this code tot train a gbm-model with Knitr, I receive several pages of Iter output like copied below. Is there a method to suppress this output?

mod_gbm <- train(classe ~ ., data = TrainSet, method = "gbm")


## Iter   TrainDeviance   ValidDeviance   StepSize   Improve
##      1        1.6094             nan     0.1000    0.1322
##      2        1.5210             nan     0.1000    0.0936
##      3        1.4608             nan     0.1000    0.0672
##      4        1.4165             nan     0.1000    0.0561
##      5        1.3793             nan     0.1000    0.0441

Thank you!

Have you tried, `...method = "gbm", verbose = FALSE)`? – JasonAizkalns Apr 14 '18 at 19:02 — JasonAizkalns, Apr 14 '18 at 19:02
Thanks Jason, I will try this and let you know. – user2165379 Apr 14 '18 at 19:04 — user2165379, Apr 14 '18 at 19:04
@Jason thanks, the verbose = FALSE suppress the output! – user2165379 Apr 15 '18 at 11:49 — user2165379, Apr 15 '18 at 11:49
`verbose=F` should be the accepted answer. – Brian D Mar 09 '20 at 20:39 — Brian D, Mar 09 '20 at 20:39

Try passing train the argument trace = FALSE.

This is a parameter not defined in the train documentation explicitly as it is part of the ... optional parameters.

Unfortunately "trace" is not recognized as a parameter as of caret v6.0-84 – Federico Giorgi May 22 '19 at 23:20
