These are 15 of my samples, and it seems to work with just that.

classifier<-ksvm(class~.,data=dframe,scaled=T,kernel="polydot",type="C-svc",
			C=1,kpar=list(degree=5,scale=1,offset=0),prob.model=T)
pred.svm<-kernlab::predict(classifier,dframe[,1:15],type="probabilities");

cbind(pred.svm[,2],dframe$class)
           [,1] [,2]
[1,] 0.29135615    0
[2,] 0.03668269    1
[3,] 0.29135845    0
[4,] 0.03667823    1
[5,] 0.03667505    1

[14,] 0.29132484    0
[15,] 0.29132652    0

Now that i managed to get me (and you) a closer look - seems like class labels switched maybe? pred.svm[,2] is named "1", but seems to have the probability to be class 0 in it.
This does not always occur however, you may have to run it a few times.

Hi Jessica,

Talking may help you, but it's kind of a waste of time for the
thousands of readers of R-help unless you provide a reproducible
example and full context. We'd like to help, but can't without
adequate information.

Now i let it run for one specific set and got the same bad result, then i deactivated the probabilities and got a good result, then i activated the probabilities again and got a good result .. huh???

Its not scaling.. so..

I guess i'll stay severely frustrated, and yes i know this is probably not enough information for anyone to help.
Still, talking helps ;)

with

           C=C,kpar=list(degree=degree,scale=scale,offset=offset),prob.model=T)

and a degree of 5 i get an error of 0 reported by the ksvm object. But when doing

pred.pca<-predict(splits[[i]]$pca,trainingData at samples)[,1:nPCs]
pred.svm<-kernlab::predict(results[[i]]$classifier,pred.pca,type="probabilities");
results[[i]]$trainResults$predicted<-pred.svm[,2]

the results vary widely from the class vector. Nearly all predictions are somewhat around 0.29. Its just strange. And i have no idea where things go wrong. They're in the same loop with i, so its probably not an indexing issue.

Maybe kernlabs predict doesn't scale the data or something?
