Class SVM

    public class SVM
extends BasicML
implements MLRegression, MLClassification, MLError
    This is a network that is backed by one or more Support Vector Machines (SVM). It is designed to function very similarly to an Encog neural network, and is largely interchangeable with an Encog neural network. The support vector machine supports several types. Regression is used when you want the network to predict a value, given the input. Function approximation is a good example of regression. Classification is used when you want the SVM to group the input data into one or more classes. Support Vector Machines typically have a single output. Neural networks can have multiple output neurons. To get around this issue, this class will create multiple SVM's if there is more than one output specified. Because a SVM is trained quite differently from a neural network, none of the neural network training classes will work. This class must be trained using SVMTrain.

    • Constructor Detail

      • SVM

        public SVM()
        Construct the SVM.

      • SVM

        public SVM(int theInputCount,
           boolean regression)
        Construct an SVM network. For regression it will use an epsilon support vector. Both types will use an RBF kernel.
        Parameters:
        theInputCount - The input count.
        regression - True if this network is used for regression.

      • SVM

        public SVM(int theInputCount,
           SVMType svmType,
           KernelType kernelType)
        Construct a SVM network.
        Parameters:
        theInputCount - The input count.
        svmType - The type of SVM.
        kernelType - The SVM kernal type.
