Function to call SVMlight from R for classification. Multiple group classification is done with the one-against-rest partition of data.
svmlight(x, ...)# S3 method for default
svmlight(x, grouping, temp.dir = NULL, pathsvm = NULL,
del = TRUE, type = "C", class.type = "oaa", svm.options = NULL,

# S3 method for data.frame
svmlight(x, ...)
# S3 method for matrix
svmlight(x, grouping, ..., subset, na.action = na.fail)
# S3 method for formula
svmlight(formula, data = NULL, ..., subset,
na.action = na.fail)
A list containing the function call and the result of SVMlight.
matrix or data frame containing the explanatory variables
(required, if formula
is not given).
factor specifying the class for each observation
(required, if formula
is not given).
formula of the form groups ~ x1 + x2 + ...
.
That is, the response is the grouping factor and the right hand side specifies the (non-factor) discriminators.
Data frame from which variables specified in formula
are preferentially to be taken.
directory for temporary files.
Path to SVMlight binaries (required, if path is unknown by the OS).
Logical: whether to delete temporary files
Perform "C"
=Classification or "R"
=Regression
Multiclass scheme to use. See details.
Optional parameters to SVMlight.
For further details see: “How to use” on http://svmlight.joachims.org/.
A Priori probabilities of classes.
Logical: whether SVMlight output ahouild be printed on console (only for Windows OS.)
An index vector specifying the cases to be used in the training sample. (Note: If given, this argument must be named.)
specify the action to be taken if NA
s are
found. The default action is for the procedure to fail. An
alternative is na.omit
, which leads to rejection of cases with
missing values on any required variable. (Note: If given, this
argument must be named.)

Function to call SVMlight from R for classification (type="C"
).
SVMlight is an implementation of Vapnik's Support Vector Machine. It
is written in C by Thorsten Joachims. On the homepage (see below) the
source-code and several binaries for SVMlight are available. If more
then two classes are given the SVM is learned by the one-against-all
scheme (class.type="oaa"
). That means that each class is trained against the other K-1
classes. The class with the highest decision function in the SVM
wins. So K SVMs have to be learned.
If class.type="oao"
each class is tested against every other and the final class is elected
by a majority vote.
If type="R"
a SVM Regression is performed.
