SVM: Separating hyperplane for unbalanced classesΒΆ
Find the optimal separating hyperplane using an SVC for classes that are unbalanced.
We first find the separating plane with a plain SVC and then plot (dashed) the separating hyperplane with automatically correction for unbalanced classes.
Note
This example will also work by replacing SVC(kernel="linear")
with SGDClassifier(loss="hinge")
. Setting the loss
parameter
of the SGDClassifier
equal to hinge
will yield behaviour
such as that of a SVC with a linear kernel.
For example try instead of the SVC
:
clf = SGDClassifier(n_iter=100, alpha=0.01)
