SVM Margins Example
=========================================================
The plots below illustrate the effect the parameter `C` has
on the separation line. A large value of `C` basically tells
our model that we do not have that much faith in our data's
distribution, and will only consider points close to line
of separation.

A small value of `C` includes more/all the observations, allowing
the margins to be calculated using all the data in the area.
