Recently, I had read an article on R-bloggers, titled Classifying Breast Cancer as Benign or Malignent using RTextTools by Timothy P. Jurka, who is the author of both that article and the RTextTools package. Having reproduced the results using the author's R code successfully, I was motivated to explore the usefulness of this package.

Also, there is an excellent book by Conway & White (2012), Machine Learning for Hackers, that shows the reader how to build a Bayesian Spam Classifier (let's called it the Benchmark). I was interested to find out how a spam classifier model built using RTextTools would compare with the Benchmark.
