You might consider using the `weight' argument of svm(). Best,
David. Hi! I am using R 1.8.1 and the svm of the e1071 package for classification. The problem is that I have unbalanced classes e.g. the first one is much bigger than the second one and therfore the svm is biased to the first class. If I manually adjust the class size the bias disappears. The question is then how to include this unequal class distribution to the svm (e.g. via wheights or costs)? Yours, Frank -- Frank G.
