svm()

svm(X,Y,param)

Use parameter param to train training dataset X, which is an independent variable, and training dataset Y, which is a dependent variable, and return training result – model R

svm(R,Xpre)

Predict data of scoring set XPre based on model R and return prediction result

svm(X,Y,param,XPre)

Connect training and prediction; input training data X, the independent variable, training data Y, the dependent variable, modeling parameter param and scoring set XPre to perform the linkage model training and prediction, and return prediction result

X

A sequence representing the training set independent variable

Y

A sequence representing the training set objective variable

param

A sequence of SVM model parameters

R

A sequence, which is result returned by syntax svm(X,Y,param)

XPre

A sequence representing the scoring data set
