33.10. LibSVM Interface

(problem-l problem)

Return the number of rows in the problem (a FFI:FOREIGN-VARIABLE)

(problem-y problem &OPTIONAL (length (problem-l problem)))

Return a (VECTOR DOUBLE-FLOAT length) representing the targets in the problem (a FFI:FOREIGN-VARIABLE).

(problem-y-n problem n &OPTIONAL (length (problem-l problem))))

Return the DOUBLE-FLOAT representing the nth target in the problem (a FFI:FOREIGN-VARIABLE).

(problem-x problem &OPTIONAL (length (problem-l problem)))

Return a (VECTOR (VECTOR node) length) representing the predictors in the problem (a FFI:FOREIGN-VARIABLE).

(problem-x-n problem n &OPTIONAL (length (problem-l problem))))

Return the (VECTOR node) representing the nth set of predictors in the problem (a FFI:FOREIGN-VARIABLE).

(make-problem &KEY l y x)

Allocate a FFI:FOREIGN-VARIABLE representing a model.

(destroy-problem problem)

Release the memory taken by the problem object and invalidate the FFI:FOREIGN-VARIABLE problem.

Warning

You must call this function yourself, but only after deallocating all model objects trained from this problem.

(load-problem filename &KEY (log *STANDARD-OUTPUT*))

Read a problem from a file in the libsvm/svmlight format. Return two values: the problem and max index (i.e., the number of columns).

Messages go to log.

(save-problem filename problem &KEY (log *STANDARD-OUTPUT*))

Write a problem into a file.

Messages go to log.

(destroy-model model)

Release the memory taken by the model object and invalidate the FFI:FOREIGN-VARIABLE model.

Calls svm_destroy_model.

You do not have to call this function yourself, it is attached to the model by train and load-model via EXT:FINALIZE.

(check-parameter problem parameter)

Check if the parameter is appropriate for the problem.

Calls svm_check_parameter.

(train problem parameter)

Train a model.

Calls svm_train and check-parameter.

(cross-validation problem parameter n)

Run n-fold cross-validation.

Calls svm_cross_validation and check-parameter.

(save-model filename model)

Write a model into a file.

Calls svm_save_model.

(load-model filename)

Read a model from a file.

Calls svm_load_model.

(get-svm-type model)

Call svm_get_svm_type.

(get-nr-class model)

Call svm_get_nr_class.

(get-labels model)

Call svm_get_labels.

(get-svr-probability model)

Call svm_get_svr_probability.

(predict-values model x)

Return the decision values (a (VECTOR DOUBLE-FLOAT)) given by model for x (a (VECTOR node)).

Calls svm_predict_values.

(predict model x)

Call svm_predict.

(predict-probability model x)

Call svm_predict_probability.

(check-probability-model model)

Call svm_check_probability_model.

(destroy-parameter parameter)

Release the memory taken by the parameter object and invalidate the FFI:FOREIGN-VARIABLE parameter.

Does not call svm_destroy_param.

You do not have to call this function yourself, it is attached to the parameter by make-parameter via EXT:FINALIZE.

(make-parameter &KEY :v svm_type kernel_type degree gamma coef0 cache_size eps C nr_weight weight_label weight nu p shrinking probability)

Allocates a new FFI:FOREIGN-VARIABLE of type parameter with the supplied slots.

The defaults come from vector v (such as returned by (FFI:FOREIGN-VALUE parameter)), if supplied, providing an easy way to copy parameters, otherwise the defaults for svm-train are used.

(parameter-alist parameter)

Return the association list representing parameter.
