Support vector machines (SVMs) are a set of supervised learning methods used for classification, regression and outliers detection. Still effective in cases where number of dimensions is greater than the number of samples. Uses a subset of training points in the decision function (called support vectors), so it is also memory efficient. Versatile: different Kernel functions can be specified for the decision function. Common kernels are provided, but it is also possible to specify custom kernels. If the number of features is much greater than the number of samples, avoid over-fitting in choosing Kernel functions and regularization term is crucial.

In this notebook, you will use SVM (Support Vector Machines) to build and train a model using human cell records, and classify cells to whether the samples are benign or malignant. SVM works by mapping data to a high-dimensional feature space so that data points can be categorized, even when the data are not otherwise linearly separable. A separator between the categories is found, then the data is transformed in such a way that the separator could be drawn as a hyperplane. Following this, characteristics of new data can be used to predict the group to which a new record should belong. The ID field contains the patient identifiers. The characteristics of the cell samples from each patient are contained in fields Clump to Mit.

The values are graded from 1 to 10, with 1 being the closest to benign. The Class field contains the diagnosis, as confirmed by separate medical procedures, as to whether the samples are benign (value = 2) or malignant (value = 4). Lets look at the distribution of the classes based on Clump thickness and Uniformity of cell size: In regression problems, we generally try to find a line that best fits the data provided. The equation of the line in its simplest form is described as below y=mx +c In the case of regression using a support vector machine, we do something similar but with a slight change.

Here we define a small error value e (error = prediction - actual) The value of e determines the width of the error tube (also called insensitive tube). The value of e determines the number of support vectors, and a smaller e value indicates a lower tolerance for error. Thus, we try to find the line’s best fit in such a way that: (mx+c)-y ≤ e and y-(mx+c) ≤ e The support vector regression model depends only on a subset of the training data points, as the cost function of the model ignores any training data close to the model prediction when the error...

In this section, we will develop the intuition behind support vector machines and their use in classification problems. As part of our disussion of Bayesian classification (see In Depth: Naive Bayes Classification), we learned a simple model describing the distribution of each underlying class, and used these generative models to probabilistically determine...

That was an example of generative classification; here we will consider instead discriminative classification: rather than modeling each class, we simply find a line or curve (in two dimensions) or manifold (in multiple dimensions)... As an example of this, consider the simple case of a classification task, in which the two classes of points are well separated:
