Hi Greg,
Thanks for the feedback. So I experimented with the Python script I currently have, and found that using a different algorithm for the optimization helped me get way closer results than I have in MATLAB.
Since it appears that the L2 model that sklearn (Python) has different parameters than the one MVPA uses, I'm trying to figure out the cross validation parameters MVPA uses so I can match it. As such, I wanted to know if the L2 linear model from MVPA's 'train_L2_RLR' uses a specific intercept/constant that is added onto the decision function?
