Master Support Vector Machines (SVM): The Powerful Algorithm for Classification & Regression 🔍

Support Vector Machine” (SVM) is a supervised machine learning algorithm which can be used for both classification or regression challenges. However, it is mostly used in classification problems. In this algorithm, we plot each data item as a point in n-dimensional space (where n is number of features you have) with the value of each feature being the value of a particular coordinate. Then, we perform classification by finding the hyper-plane that differentiate the two classes very well (look at the below snapshot). <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />https://www.analyticsvidhya.com/blog/2017/09/understaing-support-vector-machine-example-code/ <br /> <br />How to implement SVM in Python and R? <br />In Python, scikit-learn is a widely used library for implementing machine learning algorithms, SVM is also available in scikit-learn library and follow the same structure (Import library, object creation, fitting model and prediction). Let’s look at the below code:
