This free online course teaches you all you need to know about support vector machines (SVM) and their role in machine learning. We explain how to create both classification and regression SVM models using the ?R? program in the RStudio environment. These include simple to advanced models that use linear and non-linear kernels. This course can help you to solve problems and predict future changes using machine learning.

  • Distinguish between a maximum margin classifier and a support vector classifier
  • Compare the different types of kernels
  • Recall the steps to train a classification SVM model using linear, polynomial and radial kernels
  • Discuss the need for hyperparameter tuning in SVM
  • Describe the process of training a regression SVM model
  • Distinguish between the datasets used in classification and regression SVM models
  • Setting up RStudio and R Crash Course

    In this module, you will earn the basics of R and RStudio, starting from the installation processes. You will get an overview of the RStudio environment, the R commands you can use to input data, and the packages and data available in R. You will also learn to create graphs, change colours, and save the graphs.

    Basics of Machine Learning and SVM

    This module explains the concept of Support Vector Machines (SVM), starting with the concept of machine learning and the steps to build a machine learning model. You will learn the importance of data pre-processing and classification using the Maximum Margin Classifier, of which the SVM is an extension. You will also learn the concepts of hyperplanes and kernels, which are vital to understanding data processing and machine learning algorithms.

    Building SVM Models in R

    This module takes you back to the RStudio, where you will learn how to create an SVM model in R. You will begin by loading the data, then training and testing the data to build the classification model. This will be followed by tuning the hyperparameters to get better results. You will also learn to build a regression model using the same data set but different variables.
