Hi,

thank you for the quick response!

Ok!

Ok, I was also thinking about that, it always depends on train/test data! I
mean if you always change the training set you're changing initial
conditions, so you cannot state that a classifier is better than others!

Is there an easy pymvpa-based ;) way to store each cross-validation
classifier or it's better to do it manually?

Thank you,
Roberto
