Dear R Users, Once the function svm ( ) in library{e1071} like any function in R is run with some variables including missing values ( NA ), it is needed to include na.pass=TRUE arguement in function in order to deal with NAs. The arguement na.omit is not desired, since it redueces the length of variables. A problem when running the function svm including na.pass, is that the result of fitting consists a part of seemingly rigth fiitted values from the first of the length of fitted values to somewhere in a series and another part of fitted values which are NAs comes to the end of length of fitted values in a series. But we expect fitted values without any NA. How it can be corrected ? Thank you so much for help. Amir
