Thanks all for the words of wisdom :) , @Ted, I'm coming from a text mining background. Many text books recommend SVM because of its impressive performance with vectors having a larger cardinality which is the usual case when dealing with text documents. Do you think logistic regression would perform as good as SVM for text mining applications?
