I need to generate an equation for hyperplane, I have two independent variables and one binary dependent variable.

Regarding this following equation for svm , $f(x)=sgn( sum_i alpha_i K(sv_i,x) + b )$

I have two independent variables (say P and Q) with 130 point values for each variable. I used svm radial basis function for binary classification (0 and 1) and I calculated for radial basis kernelized case, and now I have

  • One column of 51 y (i) alpha (i) or (dual coefficients).

  • Two columns of 51 sv (support vectors)for P and Q.

  • One single value for b .

I received these using scikit SVC.

So, how can I generate the equation now?

Can I multiply those 51 y (i) alpha (i) or (dual coefficients) with 51 sv (support vectors) for each variable P and Q so that I have two coefficients for P and Q so that finally my equation appears as f(x)=sgn( mP + nQ +b) where m = sum of the (product of 51 sv of P with 51 dual coefficients) and n = sum of the (product of 51 sv of Q with 51 dual coefficients)?

I'm not sure if I've fully understood you. Radial basis kernel assumes that you transform your features into an infinite space and the dot product of your transformed vectors is exactly the radial basis kernel.

$k(x,y)=\phi(x)\cdot \phi(y)$

$\phi(x)$ - mapping

The main reason for using a kernel trick is the ability to transform features into higher dimensions without knowing the map function explicitly. Your hyperplane has infinite number of coefficients. You can always expend the radial basis kernel into Taylor series and get some of the initial coefficients.

  • $\begingroup$ Lets say i have two independent variables (P and Q) and a binary variable C. i use logistic regression to calculate individual coefficients of P and Q (m,n) plus a constant( b). The equation of generalized linear model will be (mP + nQ + b). I can now use this equation to calculate probabilities. Similarly, if I use support vector, how to get this kind of generalised linear model equation? I have used scikit in Python and also R, all i get is total number of support vectors and their values and value for (alpha (i) x X(i)). $\endgroup$ Feb 26, 2019 at 6:02
