pmml.ksvm: Generate PMML for a ksvm object

Description

Generate the PMML representation for a ksvm object (SVM). The PMML can then be imported into other systems that accept PMML. With this code, a PMML representation can be obtained for SVMs implementing classification (multi-class and binary) as well as regression.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'ksvm':
pmml(model, model.name="SVM_model", app.name="Rattle/PMML",
     description="Support Vector Machine PMML Model", copyright=NULL,
     transforms=NULL, dataset=NULL, weights=NULL, \dots)

Arguments

model

a ksvm object.

dataset

the original dataset used to train the SVM model in ksvm - required since the ksvm object does not appear to record information about the used categorical variables.

model.name

a name to give to the model in the PMML.

app.name

the name of the application that generated the PMML.

description

a descriptive text for the header of the PMML.

the copyright notice for the model.

transforms

a coded list of transforms performed.

weights

the weights used for building the model.

...

further arguments passed to or from other methods.

Details

The generated PMML can be imported into any PMML consuming application that recognizes PMML 3.2. An example is ADAPA (Adaptive Decision and Predictive Analytics), a lightweight decision engine with batch and real-time scoring of predictive models (also supporting neural networks and linear and logistic regression).

Run this code

# Train a support vector machine to perform classification.

require(kernlab)
model  <- ksvm(Species ~ ., data=iris)
p <- pmml(model, dataset=iris)

# Save to file.
