Solving Classification problems in R

http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/MachineLearning.html for a task view 
you missed.
Thanks for the advices Sergio and Jean-Olivier.
Of course I forgot, but I am interested in supervised classification!
I'll go through the packages you suggested to me!
Any ideas for Neural Networks and Random Forests instead?

Do you mean supervised or unsupervised classification.

If supervised, I have had great success using gradient boosted
classification in package gbm. multinomial distribution will get you
multiple classes and it will select relevant predictors by itself
given the training data.

Not sure about the customized cost functions

Dear all,
I would like some advices on R packages to solve classification problems.
I have tried to search among the Task views, but couldn't find anything.

Can somebody recommend me some packages?

Some of the features I am looking for:
- deal with multiple classes
- use customized cost functions
- perform features/predictors selection

Any hint would be greatly appreciated,
thanks a lot in advance for the help!
Cheers,
Luca
