SVM performance not consistent with AUC score
I have a dataset that contains information about patients. It includes several variables and their clinical status (0 if they are healthy, 1 if they are sick).
I have tried to implement an SVM model to predict patient status based on these…

Why do the "DescTools" & "e1071" packages cause an error when trying to view lists containing dist objects?
I have the following dataframe, 'A'. I calculate a distance matrix 'B' from it. Then I add that distance matrix 'B' to a list 'C' and view it.
A <- data.frame(x = c(1:10),
y = c(21:30))
B <- dist(A)
C <- list(B)
View(C)
So far so…

How to estimate gamma and cost parameters for SVM quickly
I want to train SVMs in R and I know there are functions such as e1071::tune.svm() that can be used to find the optimal parameters for the SVM. However, it seems there are some formulas out there (e.g. used in this report) that can give you a…

Does the kurtosis calculation in the e1071 package in R need more than 3 values?
When calculating kurtosis using the e1071 package like the following:
x_test <- c(100,98, 4)
kurtosis(x_test)
I always get -2.33 no matter what 3 numbers I pick.
With 2 numbers, it's always -2.75. However when using other methods (such as pandas in…

R: e1071 svm function - is it necessary to convert categorical to dummies?
I know svm model needs preprocessing that converts categorical variables into dummy variables. However, when I am using e1071's svm function to fit a model with unconverted data (see train and test), no error pops up. I am assuming the function…

Use F1 Score instead of Accuracy to Optimize SVM Parameters
I am using the e1071 'tune' function to optimize an SVM model. I would like to use F1 instead of Accuracy as the value to optimize for. I have found on this post: Optimize F-score in e1071 package that I need to define a new error.fun. The…
