It is the libsvm default:

-e epsilon : set tolerance of termination criterion (default 0.001)

from http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/libsvm/

Larger cache size doesn't hurt, but I'd be surprised if you have runtime issues on many UCI datasets.

I’m using datasets from UCI, hence, fairly small.

1.Should I change cache_size? I’m not sure how to relate this to the dataset size.

2.How should I set the tolerance of SVM? With rbf SVM I notice that sometimes the error increases if the tolerance is too small, for example, 1e-7, which is the Matlab default. How was 1e-3 determined?

Thank you,
