[R] Solving Classification problems in R

[JiHO]

Do you mean supervised or unsupervised classification.

If supervised, I have had great success using gradient boosted
classification in package gbm. multinomial distribution will get you
multiple classes and it will select relevant predictors by itself
given the training data.

Not sure about the customized cost functions
