.SH DESCRIPTION
.B svm-train
trains a Support Vector Machine to learn the data indicated in the
.I training_set_file
and produce a
.I model_file
to save the results of the learning optimization. This model can be
used later with
.BR svm_predict (1)
or other LIBSVM enabled software.
.SH OPTIONS
.IP "-s svm_type"
svm_type defaults to 0 and can be any value between 0 and 4 as follows:
.TP
.B 0
--
.I C-SVC
.TP
.B 1
--
.I nu-SVC
.TP
.B 2
--
.I one-class SVM
.TP
.B 3
--
.I epsilon-SVR
.TP
.B 4
--
.I nu-SVR
.IP "-t kernel_type"
kernel_type defaults to 2 (Radial Basis Function (RBF) kernel) and can be any value between 0 and 4 as follows:
.TP
.B 0
--
.I linear: u.v
.TP
.B 1
--
.I polynomial: (gamma*u.v + coef0)^degree
.TP
.B 2
--
.I radial basis function: exp(-gamma*|u-v|^2)
.TP
.B 3
--
.I sigmoid: tanh(gamma*u.v + coef0)
.TP
.B 4
--
.I precomputed kernel (kernel values in training_set_file)
--
.IP "-d degree"
Sets the
.I degree
of the kernel function, defaulting to 3
.IP "-g gamma"
Adjusts the
.I gamma
in the kernel function (default 1/k)
.IP "-r coef0"
Sets the
.I coef0
(constant offset) in the kernel function (default 0)
.IP "-c cost"
Sets the parameter C (
.I cost
) of C-SVC, epsilon-SVR, and nu-SVR (default 1)
.IP "-n nu"
Sets the parameter
.I nu
of nu-SVC, one-class SVM, and nu-SVR (default 0.5)
.IP "-p epsilon"
Set the
.I epsilon
in the loss function of epsilon-SVR (default 0.1)
.IP "-m cachesize"
Set the cache memory size to
.I cachesize
in MB (default 100)
.IP "-e epsilon"
Set the tolerance of termination criterion to
.I epsilon
(default 0.001)
.IP "-h shrinking"
Whether to use the
.I shrinking
heuristics, 0 or 1 (default 1)
.IP "-b probability-estimates"
.I probability_estimates
is a binary value indicating whether to calculate probability estimates when training the SVC or SVR model. Values are 0 or 1 and defaults to 0 for speed.
.IP "-wi weight"
Set the parameter C (cost) of class
.I i
to weight*C, for C-SVC (default 1)
.IP "-v n"
Set
.I n
for
.I n
\-fold cross validation mode
.IP "-q"
quiet mode; suppress messages to stdout.
.SH FILES
.I training_set_file
must be prepared in the following simple sparse training vector format:
.TP
<label> <index1>:<value1> <index2>:<value2> . . .
.TP
.
.TP
.
.TP
.
.TP
There is one sample per line. Each sample consists of a target value (label or regression target) followed by a sparse representation of the input vector. All unmentioned coordinates are assumed to be 0. For classification, <label> is an integer indicating the class label (multi-class is supported). For regression, <label> is the target value which can be any real number. For one-class SVM, it's not used so can be any number. Except using precomputed kernels (explained in another section), <index>:<value> gives a feature (attribute) value. <index> is an integer starting from 1 and <value> is a real number. Indices must be in an ASCENDING order.
.SH ENVIRONMENT
No environment variables.
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
None documented; see Vapnik et al.
.SH BUGS
Please report bugs to the Debian BTS.
