R help - May 2007 - how to preserve trained model in LDA?

Hi all:

               I'm developing an application in which I use standard data to
train the model in LDA and use the trained model to predict on test data. I
can't train the model every time when I do prediction. So I need to save the
trained model onto disk after the first training. Does anybody have idea
about this? You help is highly appreciated. 

 

Best Regards

 

Feng

The object lda() returns (assuming you are using lda) is all you need to 
do prediction.  So just use save() to 'save it to disk', and load() to 
retrieve it when you need it again.
