svm is an important machine learning tool related to analyzing big data or working in data science field.
R is a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics, and is widely used by both academia and industry. R software works on both Windows and Mac-OS. It was ranked no. 1 in a KDnuggets poll on top languages for analytics, data mining, and data science. RStudio is a user friendly environment for R that has become popular.

Hello sir, in the 14 line from script (4.56 mins in vedio) we have slice, how to select the values in it and if many variables are the in the data, should we take SVM seperately between two variables each time?

[@bkrai]

This is what slice represents - "a list of named values for the dimensions held constant (only needed if more than two variables are used). The defaults for unspecified dimensions are 0 (for numeric variables) and the first level (for factors). Factor levels can either be specified as factors or character vectors of length 1." In the video we used values that are more reasonable than default zero.

[@ayushanand1250]

1. While ploting the model at 4:06, why did u choose "Petal.Width~Petal.Lenght"? Is it because these variables have low correlation? 2. Also what is the reason to select Sepal.Width = 3 and Sepal.Length = 4? Is it because while using these values we see a better classifier while plotting the model?

[@omar13596]

I found this From ?plot.svm slice a list of named numeric values for the dimensions held constant (only needed if more than two variables are used). Dimensions not specified are fixed at 0. In other words, when visualising the effect of predictor variables on the response you can specify which other predictor variables are to be hold constant (i.e. at a fixed value). So in your example, you're visualising the effect of the predictor variables Petal.Length and Petal.Width on the response while keeping Sepal.Width and Sepal.Length constant at the specified values

[@swamchem]

Thanks for the wonderful session on SVM. I have a question regarding how did you choose value for epsilon , cost for the tuned model. If it is a trial and error method, I would like to know how did you end up getting that.

[@bkrai]

The best values are chosen by the model itself from the range that we provide.

[@swamchem]

yes I agree that sir. But how did you come up with this range. it looks like the optimal value is entirely depends on the range which we provide. is that right?.

[@swamchem]

Yes I agree sir. But how did you come up with that range. It looks like that the optimum value for cost & epsilon is entirely depends on range we provide. Is that right sir?.

[@bkrai]

For epsilon the range has to be between 0 and 1. So you can try 0.1 increments. If the plot suggests further fine-tuning, you can even try 0.05 or 0.01 increments. For cost default value is 1. And as mentioned in the video, you need to try very wide range and that's why we have used 2^2 etc. For most situation this approach will help you to get best values for these parameters. The idea is to have very wide range for both so that you don't miss the best values.

[@swamchem]

oh fine sir.

Thanks a lot Dr. Rai for uploading this tutorial. I would like to apply this SVM method to calculate a susceptibility index able to be plotted in ArcGIS, so I need to know the predicted values of the dependence variable: 1. How can be calculated? 2. Can I use for that the same coding as in the case of neural network? Thank you very much

Hii, I am also facing a similar issue. I have developed the model using the training dataset and tested it. But I am not sure how to import the developed model in ArcGIS to apply it to the actual raster layers!! Can you help me out?

sir, cost function = should it always start from 2 or we can have 3 to the power of ?

[@bkrai]

with 2 square, we start at cost value of 4 and then go to 8, 16, etc.. With 3 square, it will start at 9 and then jump to 27, 81, etc. But you can try it and see if it helps or not.
