Detailed Description

Simple interface to support vector machines for classification (via LIBSVM).

This class supports (multi-class) classification with a linear or RBF kernel. It uses cross-validation to optimize the SVM parameters C and (RBF kernel only) gamma.

SVM models are generated by the the setup() method. To simplify the scaling of input data (predictors), the data for both the training and the test set together are passed in as parameter predictors. Given N observations of M predictors, the data are coded as a map of predictors (size M), each a numeric vector of values for different observations (size N).

The parameter labels of setup() defines the training set; it contains the indexes of observations (corresponding to positions in the vectors in predictors) together with the class labels for training.

To predict class labels based on a model, use the predict() method. The parameter indexes of predict() takes a vector of indexes corresponding to the observations for which predictions should be made. (With an empty vector, the default, predictions are made for all observations, including those used for training.)

Parameters of this class are:

Name	Type	Default	Restrictions	Description
kernel	string	RBF	RBF, linear	SVM kernel
xval	int	5	min: 1	Number of partitions for cross-validation (parameter optimization)
log2_C	float list	[-5.0, -3.0, -1.0, 1.0, 3.0, 5.0, 7.0, 9.0, 11.0, 13.0, 15.0]		Values to try for the SVM parameter 'C' during parameter optimization. A value 'x' is used as 'C = 2^x'.
log2_gamma	float list	[-15.0, -13.0, -11.0, -9.0, -7.0, -5.0, -3.0, -1.0, 1.0, 3.0]		Values to try for the SVM parameter 'gamma' during parameter optimization (RBF kernel only). A value 'x' is used as 'gamma = 2^x'.
epsilon	float	1.0e-03	min: 0.0	Stopping criterion
cache_size	float	100.0	min: 1.0	Size of the kernel cache (in MB)
no_shrinking	string	false	true, false	Disable the shrinking heuristics

◆ getFeatureWeights()

void getFeatureWeights ( std::map< String, double > & feature_weights ) const

Get the weights used for features (predictors) in the SVM model.

Currently only supported for two-class classification. If a linear kernel is used, the weights are informative for ranking features.

Exceptions

Exception::Precondition if no model has been trained, or if the classification involves more than two classes

◆ getScaling()

	)		const

Predict class labels (and probabilities).

Parameters

predictions	Output vector of prediction results (same order as `indexes`).
indexes	Vector of observation indexes for which predictions are desired. If empty (default), predictions are made for all observations.

labels	Mapping from observation index to class label in the training set.

Exceptions

Exception::IllegalArgument	if `predictors` is empty
Exception::InvalidValue	if an invalid index is used in `labels`
Exception::MissingInformation	if there are fewer than two class labels in `labels`, or if there are not enough observations for cross-validation
