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. Raj

Hi All, In package e1071 for SVM based classification, one can get a probability measure for each prediction. I like to know what is method that is used for calculating this probability. Is it calculated using logistic link function? Thanks for your help. Regards, Raj

Hello all, this is the first time I'm using R and e1071 package and SVM multiclass (and I'm not a statistician)! I'm very confused, then. The goal is: I have a sentence with sunny; it will be classified as "yes" sentence; I have a sentence with cloud, it will be classified as "maybe"; I have a sentence with rainy il will be classified as "no". The

Dear community, I'm performing svm-regression with svm at library e1071. As I wrote in another post: "svm e1071 call - different results", I get different results if I use the svm.default rather than the svm.formula, being better the ones at svm.formula I've debugged both options. While debugging the svm.formula, I've seen that when I reach the call: ret <-

Dear R Community- I am a new user of support vector machines for species distribution modeling and am using package e1071 to run svm() and predict.svm(). Briefly, I want to create an svm model for classification of a factor response (species presence or absence) based on climate predictor variables. I have used a training dataset to train the model, and tested it against a validation data set

Dear all, I have a question about using categorical predictors for SVM, using "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

Hi R users, I'm trying to run a SVM - regression using e1071 package but the function svm() all the time apply a classification method rather than a regression. svm.m1 <- svm(st ~ ., data = train, cost = 1000, gamma = 1e-03) Parameters: SVM-Type: C-classification SVM-Kernel: radial cost: 1000 gamma: 0.001 Number of Support Vectors: 209

Hi I am Aadhithya I am trying to write a code to classify microarray data (AML and ALL) using SVM in R my code goes like this : library(e1071) train<-read.table("Z:/Documents/train.txt",header=T); test<-read.table("Z:/Documents/test.txt",header=T); cl <- c(c(rep("ALL",10), rep("AML",10))); model<- svm(train,cl); pred <-

Dear R:ers, I'm using the svm from the e1071 package to train a model with the option "probabilities = TRUE". I then use "predict" with "probabilities = TRUE" and get the probabilities for the data point belonging to either class. So far all is well. My question is why I get different results each time I train the model, although I use exactly the same data.

Hi Abbas, Before I try to give you answers, I just want to mention that you should send R related reqests to the R-help list, and not me personally because (i) there's a greater likelihood that it will get answered in a timely manner, and (ii) people who might have a similar problem down the road might benefit from any answer via searching the list archives ... anyway: On Sep 5, 2009, at

Hi- I'm seeing some weirdness with svm and tune.svm that I can't figure out- was wondering if anyone else has seen this? Perhaps I'm failing to make something the expected class? Below is my repro case, though it *sometimes* doesn't repro. I'm using R2.3.1 on WindowsXP. I was also seeing it happen with R2.1.1 and have seen it on 2 different machines. data(iris) attach(iris)

Hello, Connoisseurs! Please explain to novices, why svm model gives different results in the loop with the same data? As a result, I can not find the best gamma and cost parameters. Also tune.svm yields results that can not be repeated. How can I avoid this? My sessionInfo: R version 2.11.1 (2010-05-31) x86_64-pc-linux-gnu locale: [1] LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=C

Hello, I am trying to use SVM from e1071 package for doing binary classification and I am having problems in prediction using SVM. I ran a SVM for X~as.factor(X1)+as.factor(X2)+as.factor(X3),data=data1,cross=10. str(data1) gives me data.frame': 5040 obs. of 5 variables: $ X4: int 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ... $ X : int 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 ... $ X2: int 1 8 15 18 1 14 10 9 8 8 ... $ X3

Hi, I ran two svm models in R e1071 package: the first without cross-validation and the second with 10-fold cross-validation. I used the following syntax: #Model 1: Without cross-validation: > svm.model <- svm(Response ~ ., data=data.df, type="C-classification", > kernel="linear", cost=1) > predict <- fitted(svm.model) > cm <- table(predict,

I expected, that I will get the same prediction, if I multiply the weights for all classes with a constant factor, but I got different results. Please look for the following code. > library(e1071) > data(Glass, package = "mlbench") > index <- 1:nrow(Glass) > testindex <- sample(index, trunc(length(index)/5)) > testset <- Glass[testindex, ] > trainset <-

I am accustomed to the LIBSVM package, which provides cross-validation on training with the -v option % svm-train -v 5 ... This does 5 fold cross validation while building the model and avoids over-fitting. But I don't see how to accomplish that in the e1071 package. (I learned that svm(... cross=5 ...) only _tests_ using cross-validation -- it doesn't affect the training.) Can

Hello List, I am having a great trouble using svm function in e1071 package. I have 4gb of data that i want to use to train svm. I am using Amazon cloud, my Amazon Machine Image(AMI) has 34.2 GB of memory. my R process was killed several times when i tried to use 4GB of data for svm. Now I am using a subset of that data and it is only 1.4 GB. i remove all unnecessary objects before calling
