...ng "svm" from library(e1071). If I have multiple categorical predictors, should they just be included as factors? Take a simple artificial data example: x1<-rnorm(500) x2<-rnorm(500) #Categorical Predictor 1, with 5 levels x3<-as.factor(rep(c(1,2,3,4,5),c(50,150,130,70,100))) #Catgegorical Predictor 2, with 3 levels x4<-as.factor(rep(c("R","B","G"),c(100,200,200))) #Response y<-rep(c(-1,1),c(275,225)) class<-as.factor(y) svmdata<-cbind(class,x1,x2,x3,x4) mod1<-svm(class~.,data=svmdata,type="C-classification") OR should each...
