Hello all, I am using the e1071 SVM with the tune options for classification, which work pretty well, given the examples of using tune.svm function for classification. But I have not found any example to tune the SVM novelty detection (one-classification) parameters (gamma, cost, nu), for example this are some of the options I have tried with no success: obj<-tune(svm, x,y, type ="one-classification", gamma=2^(-1:1), cost=2^(1:3), nu=2^(-3:-1)) obj<-tune(svm, x,y, type ="one-classification", cost=2^(1:3), nu=2^(-3:-1)) obj<-tune(svm, x,y, type ="one-classification", gamma=2^(-1:1), nu=2^(-3:-1)) obj<-tune(svm, x,y, type ="one-classification", nu=2^(-3:-1)) obj<-tune(svm, x,y, type ="one-classification", gamma=2^(-1:1), cost=2^(1:3)) y is expressed as factor of [ 1,-1] values also I tried: obj<-tune(svm, x,y, type ="one-classification", ranges = list(gamma=2^(-1:1), cost=2^(1:3), nu=2^(-3:-1))) and all the parameters combination showed above, but always the same message: Error in tune(svm, x, y, ranges = ......, type = "one-classification") : Dependent variable has wrong type! But if I try: svm.model <-svm(x,y,type = "one-classification",gamma=2, cost =3, nu=0.001) it runs without problems. Please, let me know whether what I should change in my code or the e1071 tune function does not work with SVM one-classification Alfonso Torres [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
