Why Support Vector Regression? Difference between SVR and a simple regression model?

  • In simple regression, try to minimize the error rate. But in SVR, we try to fit the error within a certain threshold.

Concepts:

  1. Boundary

  2. Kernel

  3. Support Vector

  4. Hyper Plane

Blue line: Hyper Plane; Red line: Boundary-Line

  • Our best fit line is the one where the hyperplane has the maximum number of points.

  • We are trying to do here is trying to decide on a decision boundary at e distance from the original hyperplane such that data points closest to the hyperplane or the support vectors are within that boundary line.
