Dear all, I am currently looking for a book about support vector machines for regression and classification and am a bit lost since they are plenty of books dealing with this subject. I am not totally new to the field and would like to get more information on that subject for later use with the e1071 <http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/e1071/index.html> package for instance. Does anyone has an idea of a good book for that matter? Thank you in advance and apologizes for posting a not totally R specific question.

Nevertheless, that's rather detailed on the implementation side, not on the general picture that I assume you'd like for a book. library("e1071") ?svm There's also the downloadable "A guide for beginners: C.-W. Hsu, C.-C. Chang, C.-J. Lin. A practical guide to support vector classification" mentioned in the "additional information" section of http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/libsvm/ (which, in turn, is from ?svm) Regards, Georg. -- Research Assistant Otto-von-Guericke-Universit?t Magdeburg research at georgruss.de http://research.georgruss.de
