I am using SVM in R via package e1071 package.  Is it possible to obtain probabilities of the classification for the test set based on distances from the classification planes?  This seems possible in Linear Discriminant Analysis (via lda function in MASS package) through the posterior probabilities field in the prediction.  However, I am unable to find anything similar for SVM.  
Thank you all for your help.Vijay
