Advanced Machine Learning with R

Dataset creation

The data we use in this chapter can be downloaded from any source on the internet or from GitHub at this link: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Advanced-Machine-Learning-with-R/tree/master/Chapter05.

I found this data on a website dedicated to providing datasets for support vector machine analysis. You can follow the following link to find numerous sets to test your learning methods: https://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/libsvmtools/datasets/.

The authors have asked to cite their work, which I will abide by:

Chih-Chung Chang and Chih-Jen Lin, LIBSVM: a library for support vector machines. ACM Transactions on Intelligent Systems and Technology, 2:27:1--27:27, 2011

The data we're using is named a5a, consisting of the training ...
