Hi,

I have 140 structural images: 78 are in class A and 62 are in class B. To 
ensure that the training algorithm (LinearNuSVMC) doesn't build a biased model, 
I am using the nperlabel='equal' option in my splitter. I know this part of my 
code is working (see below), so I'm confused why my CVs (leave-one-scan-out) 
are biased with random data (e.g., 55.71%). Can someone please clarify why I'm 
not getting 50% with random data? I suspect I'm just not understanding 
something simple...

Thanks!
David
