Stata-SVM
=========
This is a [Stata plugin](http://www.stata.com/plugins) wrapping [libsvm](http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/libsvm/)
to offer Support Vector Machine based algorithms, both regression and classification, to Stata users.
If you use this in a project, please cite it as:
> Guenther, Nick, and Matthias Schonlau. "Support vector machines." Stata Journal 16, no. 4 (December 23, 2016): 917-37. http://www.stata-journal.com/article.html?article=st0461.
Originally written by [Nick Guenther](http://github.com/kousu) and [Professor Matthias Schonlau](http://www.schonlau.net).
Installation
------------
In Stata:
```
. ssc install svmachines
```
will install the most recent version of this wrapper.
As it is only a wrapper, so you need to install [libsvm](http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/libsvm/) too:
### Windows
On Windows, libsvm is bundled with this package so installation requires no further steps.
### OS X
* `brew install libsvm` _OR_
* `port install libsvm`
### Unix
* Debian-derivatives: `apt-get install libsvm3`
* Arch: libsvm is [in the AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libsvm/)
* Redhat/Fedora: `yum install libsvm` (**UNTESTED**)
* You can manually [download](http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/cgi-bin/libsvm.cgi?+http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/libsvm+tar.gz) and follow the [build instructions](https://github.com/cjlin1/libsvm).
Alternate Installation
----------------------
If the published [SSC](https://www.stata.com/support/ssc-installation/) [copy](fmwww.bc.edu/repec/bocode/s/svmachines.pkg) is not working, try the original [Stata Journal](https://www.stata-journal.com/) [copy](https://www.stata-journal.com/software/sj16-4/st0461.pkg)
```
. net uninstall svmachines
. net sj 16-4
. net install st0461
```
If that still isn't working for you, you can also install directly out of this repository:
download [svmachines.zip](svmachines.zip), unzip it somewhere, such as `/tmp/stata_install/`
and make sure that creates `/tmp/stata_install/svmachines.pkg` as well as the folder
`/tmp/stata_install/svmachines/`. Then, in Stata, run
```
. net uninstall svmachines
. net uninstall st0461
. net use /tmp/stata_install
. net install svmachines
```
If that still isn't working please contact us via email or Github Issues.
Usage
-----
See `help svmachines`
