[R] Help required

[Steve Lianoglou]

Hi Sadaf,

Out of curiosity, what sorts of things have you tried to fix this?

For example, after playing around with this a bit, if I remove your
"eps" parameter from your `ranges` list, it works.

Perhaps you should try tweaking the values you pick for your
parameters. You don't even have to put it in the `tune` function to
get an idea of the ranges you should use:

R> m=svm(Rexp ~ ., data=retrain, epsilon=10)Error in predict.svm(ret,
xhold, decision.values = TRUE) :
  Model is empty!

See? I think if you do a bit of exploration of the parameter space,
you'll get it to work.
