r - SVM-RFE算法在R中的实现

Question

我正在使用 R 代码来实现来自此来源的 SVM-RFE 算法 http://www.uccor.edu.ar/paginas/seminarios/Software/SVM_RFE_R_implementation.pdf但我做了一个小修改，以便 r 代码使用 gnum 库。代码如下:

svmrfeFeatureRanking = function(x,y){
  n = ncol(x)

  survivingFeaturesIndexes = seq(1:n)
  featureRankedList = vector(length=n)
  rankedFeatureIndex = n

  while(length(survivingFeaturesIndexes)>0){
    #train the support vector machine
    svmModel = SVM(x[, survivingFeaturesIndexes], y, C = 10, cache_size=500,kernel="linear" )



    #compute ranking criteria
    rankingCriteria = svmModel$w * svmModel$w

    #rank the features
    ranking = sort(rankingCriteria, index.return = TRUE)$ix

    #update feature ranked list
    featureRankedList[rankedFeatureIndex] = survivingFeaturesIndexes[ranking[1]]
    rankedFeatureIndex = rankedFeatureIndex - 1

    #eliminate the feature with smallest ranking criterion
    (survivingFeaturesIndexes = survivingFeaturesIndexes[-ranking[1]])

  }

  return (featureRankedList)
} 

该函数接收一个矩阵作为x的输入和一个因子作为输入 为 y。我将该函数用于某些数据，并且在最后一次迭代中收到以下错误消息:

 Error in if (nrow(x) != length(y)) { : argument is of length zero 

调试代码，我得到了这个:

3 SVM.default(x[, survivingFeaturesIndexes], y, C = 10, cache_size = 500, 
    kernel = "linear") 
2 SVM(x[, survivingFeaturesIndexes], y, C = 10, cache_size = 500, 
    kernel = "linear") 
1 svmrfeFeatureRanking(sdatx, ym) 

那么，这个函数的错误是什么？

看起来当只剩下一个功能时，您的矩阵会转换为列表。试试这个:

svmModel = SVM(as.matrix(x[, survivingFeaturesIndexes]), y, C = 10, cache_size=500,kernel="linear" )
