See the posting guide. >> dados1<-as.matrix(dados[,-1],nrows=30000,ncol=13,type=numeric) Why do you specify nrows, ncol and type=numeric? >> dados2<-as.vector(dados[,1]) Well, as.vector() strips attributes, particularly it removes the "factor" attributes! >> model<-svm(scale=TRUE,type=C,dados[,-1],y=dados[,1],kernel=RBF) type=C and kernel=RBF cannot make sense, I guess you mean model <- svm(x=dados[,-1], y=dados[,1], scale=TRUE, type="C", kernel="RBF") > Error in as.character(x) : cannot coerce to vector >> model<-svm(scale=TRUE,type=C,dados1,y=dados2,kernel=RBF) Same as before. Please do read "An Introduction to R" - particularly on how to specify arguments in function calls before proceeding.
