Are there any Stata packages in the works for kernel trick methods
such as kernel PCA/kernel SVM?
I know SVM isn't Stata's cup of tea, but I really need kernel PCA
these days, and the jerry-rigged code I hacked together for one
project is pretty brittle, doesn't interact well with other Stata
commands, will break at missing data and ill-behaved formulas, etc.
etc. (Besides, it's so messy that I don't know for a fact that it
conforms to the idea of kernel PCA everyone else is expecting).
I did try "search kernel, net" and such, but there are just too many
results. To ask too wide a question, do you think there's a future in
Stata for machine learning methods? I came to Stata from econometrics,
but my work is increasingly "ML-enhanced econometrics", and while I
learned R (which has the basic kernel trick packages, for example), I
don't care much for its ad-hockish palette of CLOS-like object
structures.
