User supplied name.

Returns:

: Model

A new instance of SvmModel

Support Vector Machine [R60] is a supervised algorithm used to perform binary classification. A Support Vector Machine constructs a high dimensional hyperplane which is said to achieve a good separation when a hyperplane has the largest distance to the nearest training-data point of any class. This model runs the MLLib implementation of SVM [R61] with SGD [R62] optimizer. The SVMWithSGD model is initialized, trained on columns of a frame, used to predict the labels of observations in a frame, and tests the predicted labels against the true labels. During testing, labels of the observations are predicted and tested against the true labels using built-in binary Classification Metrics.

Examples

Consider the following model trained and tested on the sample data set in frame ‘frame’.

Consider the following frame containing three columns.

>>> frame.inspect()
