> The Spider Download

> | Downloading..

> Download the latest version here .Just unzip into the directory of choice. Start MATLAB and run the script "use_spider" to startup.
> If you use the Spider allthe time, it would be a good idea to call "use_spider" in your startup.mfile and to add the Spider root directory permanentlyto your MATLAB search path using, for example, PATHTOOL.A provided program "spider_init" attempts to do this but if your startup.mfile is not in the usual place (in the matlab directory) then you haveto do this manually.
> Once installed, to get started type "help spider" and "help demos".E.g run spider/demos/microarray/go.m

> | Simple examples to start with...

> Want to try something simple to start with on the command-line? Try these:
> `X=rand(50)-0.5; Y=sign(sum(X,2)); r=train(svm,data(X,Y))`

> or use `toy` and `toy2d` , simple objects for generating toy datasets:

> `[r a]=train(svm('C=10'),toy2d); plot(a);
> loss(train(svm,toy))
> loss(train(cv(svm),toy))
> get_mean(train(cv(svm),toy))
> get_mean(train(cv(chain({l0 svm})),toy))
> k=param(knn,'k',1:5); get_mean(train(cv(group({k gridsel(k) svm})),toy))`
