C-Support Vector Classification.
Attention: Available only with Activate commercial edition.
Syntax
parameters = svcfit(X,y)
parameters = svcfit(X,y,options)
Inputs
- X
- Training data.
- Type: double
- Dimension: vector | matrix
- y
- Target values.
- Type: double
- Dimension: vector | matrix
- options
- Type: struct
-
- C
- Penalty parameter C of the error term (default: 1).
- Type: double
- Dimension: scalar
- kernel
- Kernel type to be used in the algorithm. Allowed values are 'linear', 'poly', 'rbf' (default), 'sigmoid'.
- Type: char
- Dimension: string
- degree
- Degree of the polynomial kernel function ('poly'). This parameter is ignored by other kernels. Default: 3
- Type: integer
- Dimension: scalar
- gamma
- Kernel coefficient for 'rbf', 'poly' and 'sigmoid' kernel. Allowed values are any float. If gamma is not assigned, then 1 / (n_features * variance(X)) is taken as gamma.
- Type: double
- Dimension: scalar
- coef0
- Independent term in kernel function (default: 0). It is only significant in 'poly' and 'sigmoid'.
- Type: double | integer
- Dimension: scalar
- shrinking
- Whether to use the shrinking heuristic.
- Type: Boolean
- Dimension: double | integer
- tol
- Tolerance of stopping criterion (default: 1e-3).
- Type: double
- Dimension: scalar
- cache_size
- Specify the size of kernel cache (in MB).
- Type: double
- Dimension: scalar
- max_iter
- Hard limit on iterations within solver (default: -1).
- Type: integer
- Dimension: scalar
Outputs
- parameters
- Contains all the values passed to svcfit method as options. Additionally it has below key-value pairs.
- Type: struct
-
- scorer
- Function handle pointing to 'accuracy' function.
- Type: function handle
- support
- Indices of support vectors.
- Type: integer
- Dimension: vector
- support_vectors
- Support vectors.
- Type: double
- Dimension: matrix
- dual_coef
- Coefficients of the support vector in the decision function.
- Type: integer
- Dimension: matrix
- intercept
- Constants in decision function.
- Type: double
- Dimension: matrix
- coef
- Weights assigned to features (coefficients in primal problem). This is available only if kernel is set to 'linear'. It is derived from dual_coef and support_vectors.
- Type: double
- Dimension: vector
- n_samples
- Number of rows in the training data.
- Type: integer
- Dimension: scalar
- n_features
- Number of columns in the training data.
- Type: integer
- Dimension: scalar
Example
Usage of svcfit
data = dlmread('digits.csv', ',');
X = data(:, 1:end-1);
y = data(:, end);
parameters = svcfit(X, y)
parameters = struct [
C: 1
coef: [Matrix] 45 x 64
...
Comments
The implementation is based on libsvm. The fit time complexity is more than quadratic with number of samples. This makes it hard to scale to dataset with more than a couple of 10000 samples. Multiclass support is handled by one-vs-one scheme.
Output 'parameters' should be passed as input to svcpredict function
