A User’s Guide to Support Vector Machines
Abstract
The Support Vector Machine (SVM) is a widely used classifier in bioinformatics. Obtaining the best results with SVMs requires an understanding of their workings and the various ways a user can influence their accuracy. We provide the user with a basic understanding of the theory behind SVMs and focus on their use in practice. We describe the effect of the SVM parameters on the resulting classifier, how to select good values for those parameters, data normalization, factors that affect training time, and software for training SVMs.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
