[R] book about "support vector machines"

[David Reinke]

My favorite book on SVM is Learning with Kernels by Scholkopf and Smola. You might also want to consider a relevance vector machine, which is a more recent development. RVM is Bayesian-based and usually produces a sparser representation than a SVM. Check out Mike Tipping's web site at
http://www.miketipping.com/

There is also a good description of RVM in Bishop's book: Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning.

a bit of caution.
the latest version of libsvm is not yet available in the  e1071 R-package.
