R help - Dec 2011 - Extraction of rules from Support Vector Machines

Dear All,

I am using the svm() function of package e1071 for creating Support
Vector Machines prediction models. As far as I understand, there is no
function in this package to extract rules of prediction. Is there some
other package with such a functionality?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

Those "rules" are implicitly stored in the object that is returned by 
svm() and they can be applied using predict(). A nice output and 
particularly an interpretation of the estimates is much harder and I 
don't know about such functionality.
