I am currently looking for a book about support vector machines for
regression and classification and am a bit lost since they are plenty of
books dealing with this subject. I am not totally new to the field and
would like to get more information on that subject for later use with
the e1071 <http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/e1071/index.html>
package for instance.

Hi Manuel,

there's also the references mentioned in ?svm once you've loaded the e1071
library. Nevertheless, that's rather detailed on the implementation side,
not on the general picture that I assume you'd like for a book.

library("e1071")
?svm

There's also the downloadable "A guide for beginners: C.-W. Hsu, C.-C.
Chang, C.-J.  Lin. A practical guide to support vector classification"
mentioned in the "additional information" section of
http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/libsvm/ (which, in turn, is from ?svm)

Regards,
Georg.

My favorite book on SVM is Learning with Kernels by Scholkopf and Smola. You might also want to consider a relevance vector machine, which is a more recent development. RVM is Bayesian-based and usually produces a sparser representation than a SVM. Check out Mike Tipping's web site at
http://www.miketipping.com/

There is also a good description of RVM in Bishop's book: Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning.

a bit of caution.
the latest version of libsvm is not yet available in the  e1071 R-package.

Hi,

Dear all,
I am currently looking for a book about support vector machines for
regression and classification and am a bit lost since they are plenty of
books dealing with this subject. I am not totally new to the field and
would like to get more information on that subject for later use with
the e1071 <http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/e1071/index.html>
package for instance. Does anyone has an idea of a good book for that
matter?

Here's another intro to support vector regression:
