Runs SVM-RFE, a method that ranks features by repeatedly removing less useful ones, on a numeric expression-like matrix with two groups. It uses cross-validated classification error to select a feature count and produces ranking tables and reproducible plots.
Use when you need a standardized R CLI workflow to run two-class SVM-RFE feature ranking on an expression-like matrix, choose an informative feature count from cross-validated error, and generate reproducible ranking and error plots. NOT for regression, multi-class classification, missing-value imputation, or remote data fetching.
