Support Vector Machines:
Support vector machines are used in data mining (predictive modeling, to be specific) for classification of records, by learning from training data. Support vector machines use decision surfaces that separate records. They rely on optimization techniques to maximize separate margins between classes, and kernel functions to accommodate non-linearity. Model parameters can be tuned on the basis of model performance with hold-out samples.
Planning on taking an introductory statistics course, but not sure if you need to start at the beginning? Review the course description for each of our introductory statistics courses and estimate which best matches your level, then take the self test for that course. If you get all or almost all the questions correct, move on and take the next test.
