Mathematical and Quantitative Methods
Abstract
Support Vector Machines (SVMs)have found many applications in various fields. They
have been introduced for classification problems and extended to regression. In this paperI review the
utilization of SVM for classification problems and exemplify this with application on IRIS datasets. I
used the Matlab programming language to implement linear and nonlinear classificators and apply
this on the dataset.
