<p>Hello PyMVPA community,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I just start using PyMVPA for some fMRI data analysis, and I got a question about classification selection.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I firstly used LinearCSVMC as my initial classifier, but it ran very very slow (it kept running for more than 2 weeks).</p>
<p>I am not quite sure where did I go wrong. <span style="font-size: 12pt;"> I then </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">used another classifier - kNN. It ran much faster than the LinearCSVMC.</span></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I was wondering if there was any restriction or cautions on using kNN for fMRI data analysis?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks very much!</p>
<p>Carl</p>
