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:

Member Function Documentation

◆ chooseBestParameters_()

std::pair<double, double> chooseBestParameters_ ( ) const
protected

Choose best SVM parameters based on cross-validation results.

◆ convertData_()

void convertData_ ( const PredictorMap predictors)
protected

Convert predictors to LIBSVM format.

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

◆ getScaling()

const ScaleMap& getScaling ( ) const

Get data range of predictors before scaling to [0, 1].

◆ optimizeParameters_()

Run cross-validation to optimize SVM parameters.

void predict ( std::vector< Prediction > &  predictions,
std::vector< Size indexes = std::vector< Size >()

Predict class labels (and probabilities).

Parameters
predictionsOutput vector of prediction results (same order as indexes).
indexesVector of observation indexes for which predictions are desired. If empty (default), predictions are made for all observations.
Exceptions
Exception::Preconditionif no model has been trained
Exception::InvalidValueif an invalid index is used in indexes
