Re: [R] Specify feature weights in model prediction (CARET)

It was a general question to find out if the caret framework supported passing feature weights to any predictive model. But I guess, it may only make sense in the context of the model. The ones I am interested in would be svm and knn. Thanks, Kendric On Wed, Mar 16, 2011 at 6:20 PM, Max Kuhn

[R] Specify feature weights in model prediction (CARET)

Using the 'CARET' package, is it possible to specify weights for features used in model prediction? And for the 'knn' implementation, is there a way to choose a distance metric (i.e. Mahalanobis distance)? Thanks, ~Kendric [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
