Dear all, I executed svm calculation using e1071 library with a microarray data (http://www.iu.a.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~kadota/R/data_Singh_RMA_3274.txt). Then, I shuffled the data samples and executed svm calculation again. The results of 2 calculation were different (in SV, coefs and weights).
I attached the script below. Could please tell me why this happens? If possible please tell me how to make them equal. Best regards, Hiro ### Script start ### library(e1071) data <- read.table('http://www.iu.a.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~kadota/R/data_Singh_RMA_3274.txt', header=TRUE, row.names=1, sep="\t", quote="") data.cl <- rep(NA,ncol(data)) data.cl[grep('Normal',colnames(data))] <- 'Normal' data.cl[grep('Tumour',colnames(data))] <- 'Tumour' s <- sample(ncol(data)) m <- svm(x=t(data ), y=factor(data.cl ), scale=T, type="C-classification",kernel="linear") m.s <- svm(x=t(data[,s]), y=factor(data.cl[s]), scale=T, type="C-classification", kernel="linear") w <- t(m $coefs) %*% m$SV w.s <- t(m.s$coefs) %*% m.s$SV # SV and coefs are slightly different sum(abs(m$SV[order(rownames(m$SV)),] - m.s$SV[order(rownames(m.s$SV)),])) sum(abs(m$coefs[order(rownames(m$SV))] -m.s$coefs[order(rownames(m.s$SV))])) # rank of weight are not identical all(rank(w)==rank(w.s)) ### Script end ### [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
