Hello again

I recently downloaded the gcl package, which "computes a fuzzy rules or tree classifier from data".  It is very interesting and is giving good results.  However, rather than return a list, it returns a function.  Per the example in the documentation:


library(gcl)
library(datasets)
data(iris)
classifier <- gcl(iris, nlev = 5)

then classifier is quite a long function.  The article which is cited in the documentation:

Vinterbo et al (2005): Small, fuzzy and interpretable gene expression based classifiers, Bioinformatics, 21, 1964-1970 

notes that the rules can be extracted, but neither the article nor the documentation indicates how this can be done in a reasonable manner

I have written to the author of the package, aw well, but have not heard back.  He may be on vacation.

Thanks as always
