multiclass classification performance error?

ThisGuy

Hi, all. Performed a fairly straightforward classification by regression problem with SVM, and got a multiclass classification performance error.  Problem is part of a grad class, so it's a shared, known problem set with a known outcome.  At least others are not experiencing it, but I've received the errors on two different computers, even using the professor's XML code that worked for him.  Any one else experience this error?  Ideas on how to fix?  Code below for reference.

Hi,

thank you for the bug report.

Your "Filters Examples" is set to "Match all" which will result in 0 examples left since the "CTS state" can't be "Severe" and "Without" at the same time.

Either use "does not equals" to filter them out, or "Match any" to only include "Severe" and "Without" CTS states.

Greetings,
Jonas
