Thanks, Uwe, for your answer. I was looking for human readable rules. Meanwhile, I found this reference, which I intend to have a look at: Rule Extraction from Support Vector Machines http://www.springer.com/engineering/computational+intelligence+and+complexity/book/978-3-540-75389-6 Paul ______________________________________________ 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.
