Hi Eric, Unfortunately parameter selection is not yet a part of training. We have been cherishing an idea of OptimizedClassifier but haven't yet implemented it yet. There is though ModelSelector which was introduced by Emanuele to be used with GPR. For example of its usage look into GPRWeights defined in gpr.py.
Sorry that pymvpa is not yet perfect ;) Yarik On Sun, 05 Apr 2009, Eric Trautmann wrote: > I've looked through the API documentation but there doesn't seem to be > much info on parameter selection using the RBF kernel in a SVM > classifier.
