This is a Stata plugin wrapping 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:

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 too:
On Windows, libsvm is bundled with this package so installation requires no further steps.
brew install libsvmORport install libsvm
- Debian-derivatives:
apt-get install libsvm3 - Arch: libsvm is in the AUR
- Redhat/Fedora:
yum install libsvm(UNTESTED) - You can manually download and follow the build instructions.
If the published SSC copy is not working, try the original Stata Journal copy
. 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, 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.
