Hi all, I am using the "svm" command in the e1071 package.
Does it have an automatic way of setting the "cost" parameter? I changed a few values for the "cost" parameter but I hope there is a systematic way of obtaining the best "cost" value. I noticed that there is a "cross" (Cross validation) parameter in the "svm" function. But I did not see how it can be used to optimize the "cost" parameter. By the way, what does a 0 training error and a high testing error mean? Varying "cross=5", or "cross=10", etc. does not change the training error and testing error at all. How to improve? Thanks a lot! M.
