Hello all, I would like to perform SVM-RFE (Guyon et al. 2002) in R and have only found one implementation of this algorithm. The function belongs to the MCRestimate package but when I try to use it I encounter a problem - the function appears to be missing a required package or other function that I simply cannot find available anywhere.
Here is my session info followed by a simple example with the error message I receive when using the function varSel.svm.rfe: > sessionInfo() R version 2.7.1 (2008-06-23) i386-pc-mingw32 locale: LC_COLLATE=English_United States.1252;LC_CTYPE=English_United States.1252;LC_MONETARY=English_United States.1252;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=English_United States.1252 attached base packages: [1] tools splines stats graphics grDevices utils datasets [8] methods base other attached packages: [1] MCRestimate_1.4.0 Biobase_2.0.1 randomForest_4.5-25 [4] pamr_1.38.0 survival_2.34-1 cluster_1.11.11 [7] e1071_1.5-18 class_7.2-42 RColorBrewer_1.0-2 > > m<-matrix(c(1:16),4,4) > classes<-c(1,1,0,0) > varSel.svm.rfe(m,classes) Loading required package: rfe Error in varSel.svm.rfe(m, classes) : could not find function "rfe.cv" In addition: Warning message: In library(package, lib.loc = lib.loc, character.only = TRUE, logical.return = TRUE, : there is no package called 'rfe' Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions, Elizabeth McClellan [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Ms. Elizabeth McClellan Research Assistant Department of Statistical Science Southern Methodist University [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ 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.
