Similar to the caret package, the rminer package can also generate the variable importance of a classification model. In this recipe, we first train the svm model on the training dataset, trainset, with the fit function. Then, we use the Importance function to rank the variable importance with a sensitivity measure. Finally, we use mgraph to plot the rank of the variable importance. Similar to the result obtained from using the caret package, number_customer_service_calls is the most important variable in the measure of sensitivity.
