You're not giving us much to go on, can you show us the code that you are using that gets you into this problem? (i) For example -- by "svm.tune", do you mean the "tune" function from the e1071 package? (ii) What is the exact function call you are using that gives you this error. (iii) Can you build a "normal" svm model without "tuning" it. For instance, does svm(x,y,..) work with your data? (iv) Are you sure that the values you are inputting to the svm (and/or tune function) are of the correct type? With your follow up email that provides the code you tried and answers to some of the Q's above. Also provide a small bit of your data that we can use to help you debug. You can easily do so by using the `dput` function. Say your data (predictors and label) are in a variable `x`, paste the output of the following command in your follow up email: R> dput(x[sample(nrow(x), 10),]) This will give us 10 random rows from your data that people trying to help you can use. -steve -- Steve Lianoglou Graduate Student: Computational Systems Biology | Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center | Weill Medical College of Cornell University Contact Info: http://cbio.mskcc.org/~lianos/contact ______________________________________________ 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.
