I recently did a support vector machine project. It's at the point where I

Would there be any interest in something like this? What package would it
belong in? I didn't notice a machine learning package.
Hi Ben
in Matlab these two functions appear to be in the bioinformatics
toolbox so my guess is that it would also go in the bioinfo package.
The package is currently unmaintained but if you submit those two
functions I'd be happy to include them.

I do not think support vector machines would be easy, nor natural to
find in the bioinformatics package.
I would suggest to merge nnet and svm into a single package called
machine-learning.
