similar to: nominal to numeric function

I have a data set with about 30,000 training cases and 103 variable. I've trained an SVM (using the e1071 package) for a binary classifier {0,1}. The accuracy isn't great. I used a grid search over the C and G parameters with an RBF kernel to find the best settings. I remember that for least squares, R has a nice stepwise function that will try combining subsets of variables to find

Hi, The answers to my previous question about nominal variables has lead me to a more important question. What is the "best practice" way to feed nominal variable to an SVM. For example: color = ("red, "blue", "green") I could translate that into an index so I wind up with color= (1,2,3) But my concern is that the SVM will now think that the values are

Hello, I'm using the svm function from the e1071 package. It works well and gives me nice results. I'm very curious to see the actual coefficients calculated for each input variable. (Other packages, like RapidMiner, show you this automatically.) I've tried looking at attributes for the model and do see a "coefficients" item, but printing it returns an NULL result.

Hi, I have a dataset where the results are coded ("yes", "no") We want to do some machine learning with SVM to predict the "yes" outcome My problem is that if I just use the as.factor function to convert, then it reverses the levels. ---------------------- x <- c("no", "no", "no", "yes", "yes", "no",

Hello, In my ongoing quest to develop a "best" model, I'm testing various forms of SVM to see which is best for my application. I have been using the SVM from the e1071 library without problem for several weeks. Now, I'm interested in RVM and LSSVM to see if I get better performance. When running RVM or LSSVM on the exact same data as the SVM{e1071}, I get an error that I

Hi, I have a process using svm from the e1071 library. it works. I want to try using the KSVM library instead. The same data used wiht e1071 gives me an error with KSVM. My data is a data.frame. sample code: svm_formula <- formula(y ~ a + B + C) svm_model <- ksvm(formula, data=train_data, type="C-svc", kernel="rbfdot", C=1) I get the following error:

Hello, I'm using the e1071 package for training an SVM. It seems to be working well. This question has two parts: 1) Once I've trained an SVM model, I want to USE it within R at a later date to predict various new data. I see the write.svm command, but don't know how to LOAD the model back in so that I can use it tomorrow. How can I do this? 2) I would like to add the

Hello, I'm using the e1071 library for SVM functions. I can quickly train an SVM with: svm(formula = label ~ ., data = testdata) That works well. I want to tune the parameters, so I tried: tune.svm(label ~ ., data=testdata[1:2000, ], gamma=10^(-6:3), cost=10^(1:2)) THIS FAILS WITH AN ERROR: 'names' attribute [199] must be the same length as the vector [184] I don't

Hi, I want to create variable names from within my code, but can't find any documentation for this. An example is probably the best way to illustrate. I am reading data in from a file, doing a bunch of stuff, and want to generate variables with my output. (I could make a "list of lists" and name all the elements, but I really want separate variables.) ################# #This is

Hi! After unziping the CRAN file e1071.zip on my Win95 library directory, I start R and type >library(e1071) After that, help commands of the e1071 functions work (i.e., help(read.pnm), BUT some functions themselves are not available: > read.pnm Error: Object "read.pnm" not found I've looked at the file library/R/e1071 with an ascii editor and it seems like the functions

I'm running a long MCMC chain that is generating samples for 22 variables. I have each run of the chain as a row in a matrix. So: Chain[,1] is the column with all the samples for variable one. Chain[,2] is the column with all the samples for variable 2, etc. I'd like to fit all 22 on a single page to print a nice summary. It is OK if the graphs are small, I just need to show the

After upgrading to 1.7.0 under debian linux, I can't get e1071 working properly. The first problem I had was that g++-3.0 was the standard compiler but wasn't installed, so I installed it. e1071 then installed correctly, but I get the following: aperrin at perrin:~/afshome/papers/authoritarian/R$ R R : Copyright 2003, The R Development Core Team Version 1.7.0 (2003-04-16) R is free

Hi, Our discussions about 64 bit R has led me to another thought. I have a nice dual core 3.0 chip inside my Linux Box (Running Fedora 11.) Is there a version of R that would take advantage of BOTH cores?? (Watching my system performance meter now is interesting, Running R will hold a single core at 100% perfectly, but the other core sites idle.) Thanks! -- Noah

Hi, I have a very large data set (aprox. 100,000 rows.) The data comes from around 10,000 "groups" with about 10 entered per group. The values are in one column, the group ID is an integer in the second column. I want to normalize the values by group: for(g in unique(groups){ x[group==g] / sum(x[group==g]) } This works find in a loop, but is slow. Is there a faster way to do

Hello, I am trying to import data from Matlab.. when i looked up R documentation, it says, package "e1071" have command (read.octave) to import data from octave. but when I tried to install package by using: install.packages("e1071"); I got the following message: ( BTW, my platform is linux version 2.4.18-3 my gcc is 2.96). * Installing *source* package 'e1071' ...

Hi, If I try to read the codes of functions in e1071 package, it gives me following error message. >library(e1071) > svm function (x, ...) UseMethod("svm") <environment: namespace:e1071> > predict.svm Error: Object "predict.svm" not found > Can someone help me on this how to read the codes of the functions in the e1071 package? Thanks.

I observed the same behavior as Edward this morning with R-1.2.2 on Red Hat Linux 7.0. There appears to be a problem with the library in netpbm-9.5-5, even after hunting down the missing shhopt.h that pbmplus.h is looking for. I worked around the problem by compiling e1071 without pbm support (moved pbm.c to pbm.c.bak). Matt Matthew R. Nelson, Ph.D. Director, Information Systems Esperion

Hi, I tried to use naivebayes in package 'e1071'. when I use following parameter, only one predictor, there is an error. > m <- naiveBayes(iris[,1], iris[,5]) > table(predict(m, iris[,1]), iris[,5]) Error in log(sapply(attribs, function(v) { : Non-numeric argument to mathematical function However, when I use two predictors, there is not error any more. > m <-
