Adschai: The function is written in C++, so debugging the source code of the R svm() function will not really help. What you can do to make the C-code more verbose is the following:
- get the sources of e1071 - in the src/ directory, look up the svm.cpp file - In line 37, there is: #if 0 void info(char *fmt,...) [...] replace the first line by: #if 1 - build and install the package again. Best David ---------------------------- Sorry that I have many questions today. I am using svm function on about 180,000 points of training set. It takes very long time to run. However, I would like it to spit out something to make sure that the run is not dead in between. Would you please suggest anyway to do so? ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
