Steve,

Couldn't he also just use the decision.value property to see the equivilent of t(x) %*% b for each row?

Dear all,

after having calibrated a svm model through the svm() command of the e1071
package, is there a way to
i) represent the modeled relationships between the y and X variables
(response variable vs. predictors)?
Can you explain a bit more ... how do you want them represented?

ii) rank the influence of the predictors used in the model?
One technique that's often/sometimes used is to calculate the SVM's W
vector by using the support vectors along with their learned
weights/alphas.

This comes up every now and again. Here's an older post explaining how
you might do that with the svm model from e1071:

Hope that helps.
